The thing is, in Watcher!verse, not only are they working together, they've been living in the same house together for years. And then Buffy dies (not exactly a huge spoiler anymore) and they're raising Madelyn together--and Dawn decides that since they're pretty much married already, they might as well have sex.
But she also knows that Giles has been displaying superhuman abilities in the realm of fastidiously ignoring the fact that she's a sexual being for the last decade, so she has to convince him she's really serious. So one day, she just goes all the way and proposes to him.
He insists on a courtship, of course, and it is all glorious and awkward.
But to get to that point I have to kill Buffy, and that requires all kinds of plot and stuff. Although I'm thinking that I could focus on notebooking To Live in Hearts while on the train to and from school, so there's that.
Love this, specially what you said about Faith. The "beyond good and evil" really chimes with me. Gotta love the subtext, too.
Mainly I'm just thinking about this because season 3's rerunning on FX and every time she's on screen my mind does this little moan. Intense level of hotness. Robin's hotness almost made me say "OK" but it does not match hers in any way. And is just generally a bit forced and annoying.
