Damn, your reaction to this issue is exactly the same as mine. Except, y'know, without all of the expletives :D Would you mind if I friended you
( ... )
Oh, absolutely, friend away! I'll friend you back. :D
I won't be surprised if it's 'salvaged' to some extent - but the thing is, it'll all be a very late patch-up and not really worth the angst that came before. Sort of how we weren't allowed Touched or the end of Chosen without EoD/the beginning of Chosen elbowing its way into the middle.
But it is too late for her to fix. Cue total breakdown. Classic Spuffy miscommunication, mistiming and angst. They miss their chance again. And Joss keeps the Spuffies hanging on for another crumb.
And oh, hell, I hadn't thought about it that far - only how miserable the miscommunication was going to be and that any sort of reconciliation would only be allowed one panel right at the very end. But this is probably more spot on (and I really should have realised, because I've written a fic that goes very similarly...). If only I knew how to shore myself up against it!! :(
Thanks for the friend :) If one good thing has come from all of this epic comics fail it is that the Spuffy fandom never ceases to be extremely awesome and supportive of each other.
And that fic sounds really interesting! Have you posted it anywhere yet? I'm sure it is a hundred times better than what we might get by the end of this...

Oh, thanks! It's actually quite an old one: Near Misses I haven't read it over in a while, so I apologise for any badness. :D
Wow, I just read that fic right through now and it was wonderful! Have added it to my memories for safekeeping :) I love it when Buffy cannot express her feelings to Spike (because of course she has them) - so bittersweet. Thanks so much for the link!
