Okay, so I'm stuck with a dilemma. Do I have the characters who are about to escape in a helicopter from a situation that may/may not involve death deal with a mob of people who are trying to escape the situation, and have to make decisions on who survives or not?

Kind of like a "who gets to be in the ark" scenario.

I don't know if I want to deal with the emotional fallout with this. Hm.

hmm... I guess it depends on how angsty you want it to be and what you'd want that moment to say about the characters. does it showcase who they are as people or just the severity of the situation? is it a major decision or an unaddressed detail? is it important to the plot? to the characterization? to the tone of the piece?

Okay, I went with it. It's a small 'fill in the gap' fic about a part of the 'extended canon', only the canon characters are not the POV ones.
