Man. I haven't watched enough of any of their perspectives to have a good opinion on it, but those transcripts that highlight just how much hunger Shelby cuts from her perspective, and how much bad Drift hides in hers, have me thinking about that happily ever after.
Because feeling a craving and pretending you don't isn't a recipe for staying strong against it. It's a recipe for catastrophically failing to resist it, and then pretending you didn't.
Anyway. Post-canon where Shelby and Drift occasionally mess up and eat people, and Scott, who is trying to convince Abolish he's not up to his old tricks, has to juggle convincing Abolish that no, he didn't kill this guy, really, I promise, and keeping Shelby and Drift calm about it.
It's fun if he's not really interested in changing and is mostly just biding his time, because he still needs to do that.
But it's really fun if he is trying to Be Better. Because how is someone who is better supposed to manage this? What would Shelby say doesn't work if Shelby is freaking out / deep in denial. What would the doctor do? Well the guy is pretty solidly dead dead, so presumably not much...
Anyway. Scott, who as a centuries old vampire can manage the human blood craving even if it's annoying (especially if he, say, seduces people into letting him have a snack when it gets bad). And his fledglings, who can't but are pretending they are.
