The more S6 rewatch reviews I read, the more I think "Why in God's name do I ship these characters again?" Oh oh, that sounds a bad place to be.

The ugliness going on between the characters on screen killed their desire to write the characters at all, in any context. As hard as s.6 can be, rewatching it led me to more hopeful territories, as odd as it may appear.
I often found more ugliness in some fictions based on season 6 -and especially the relationship between Buffy and Spike- than in the episodes themselves. A few writers had a very dark and gloomy view of the events and that,at times, could have damaged my perception of the characters.One would argue that season 6 was indeed dark and gloomy but sometimes fanfic writers managed to make it darker , more depressing and with no redeeming qualities within the S/B sex affair.

It's always been important to me that no matter how far AU I may stray, there's a line of plausible extrapolation leading back to the point where I broke away from canon. Yes. I completely see where you stand.We have to have a little faith.
I hope that the rift between both views won't get any deeper for you .

Somehow I don't believe you would be that fickle, Barb. :-)
