I just need to register my opinion of the general awesomeness of these Spaiku. Hopefully I'll get a chance to go back later and point out all my favorite parts (although it'd more efficient to say, "All of them! They're all fabulous and perfectly worded and insightful!"). But for now: Bravo!
(And also: I am in awe of your totally post-appropriate set of icons.)
Aww, thank you very much! Glad that you enjoyed them. *lol* I have an icon problem. I almost posted the whole lot in one post but couldn't bear the thought of giving up the icons. And really, the haiku are so tiny that you don't get a lot of opportunity to set them up; icons are invaluable for that. If it weren't for the fine work of earth_vexer and other talented icon-makers, I probably couldn't even do this.
Started with a fake, ended up with something real. ‘S poetic, that.
Ooooh. What a perfect ending, and a perfect way to tie in the ep and the theme. I'd never even thought about that before, the fake Buffy and the real kiss at the end. And of course Spike, of all people, might think that that was poetic.
I'm just now seeing this! (Stoopid LJ notifications. Feh.) Anyway, thank you! I'm so glad that you like that one; it was the first one I wrote, and then I tried to aim the rest of them towards that moment, so to speak. I hadn't realized until I started dismantling the ep to write these how isolated both Spike and Buffy are here, and how each (in, albeit, slightly different ways) is longing for something real or some kind of truth.
