Better characterization through judicious use of stutter; I love it.

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed.

Oh, but that was beautiful. The last line was quite a dark note to leave it on, but fitted perfectly.

*adds to memories*

Thank you so much. (I piffled on the last line, so I'm glad you think it works.)

You know, I was secretly hoping you would write an explanation for how Giles knew Tara was bisexual. Okay, maybe it wasn't so secretly, since I told you how much I loved that part of your list, but still.

Fic! Wonderful Giles/Tara fic! I love them both.

[wisdomeagle]

Hee. And because you asked, I was totally inspired to write! I'm glad you enjoyed!

The knowledge that they will never see each other again--at least not alive--after that last scene makes it oh so poignant. And Tara and Giles are so rich and so deeply characterized and so vivid here, especially in the first scene--they really do come alive as real people with so complex needs and wants. Excellent job as usual.

[wisdomeagle]

Thank you very much. :)

Rereading it, I love the first scene even more. Fandom seems so convinced that Giles was wrong to leave in season 6 sometimes that it's hard to get into his POV, but you do so masterfully. It's really a rich and complex characterization job, and a breath of fresh air as well as its a side of Giles we rarely get to see in fanfic.

(I'm getting a lot worse at coherent reviews. The shiny of LJ is rubbing off on me.)

[wisdomeagle]

Eeeeee. Hearts and flowers are okay by me. :) Thanks!
