I'm gonna be so real all I can thank about is how in an AU where they didn't all just die eventually Sarah, Rory, and Erica would simply be 'to young' for Benny and Ethan. Like socially if people saw these two 30 year olds hanging out with what looks like high school kids people would look twice.
Like sure those two dying whilst the other three remain imortal is sad. But what about all those years they do have together, but feel preasured to split apart? What about when Benny starts getting lines along his forehead and Ethan loses the baby fat on his cheeks? what happens then when Erica still has working knees, or Sarah never gets smile lines, or Rorys hands never earn calouses? Because even if Benny and Ethan decide to join them in their vampirism, that still a few years older than their friends, a few more years for them to collect these wonders of aging, a time to see their bodys become what could've been.
