Quote:To be fair, Xander is the only character who actually got any sort of skillset out of it. What skill set would Willow (a ghost) and Buffy (a useless princess) have acquired?
And as for Halloween: in-canon, X is the only character who is shown to have retained some of the skills of his altered persona, long after the occasion. It crops up on several occasions. So the default assumption is that he's got some kind of minor mojo that let him and him alone hang on to the costume -- in light of which, swapping just his out seems like a logical spot for a divergence.
And we don't know what (if anything) some of the others went as.
So, the answer to my question seems to be "Nope, except for a pair of fics, they're all Xander-Sue". Ah well.
