Commentary - A Fairytale In Five Drabbles

[deird1]

So, I asked for fic commentary requests. (I’m still happy to do more, if anyone’s interested.)

This was written for silveronthetree, who requested a commentary for A Fairytale In Five Drabbles. You should probably read that before looking at this commentary.

The original fic still looks like it did, and my notes are the bits in blockquotes.

This was awesome. Thank you.

Which are all things that happened when he didn’t have a soul

This is the part that I really loved about the Angel part - the most interesting thing about season 2 was that he did he never stop loving her.

Parker, who seems so wonderfully perfect on the surface
Ah! when I first read this, I got to this point and thought it was going to be about Riley. The assumption really threw me for a bit. I guess because she technically "met" Riley first and I'd entirely forgotten about Parker!

And I love the fact that Angel is a Man who isn't exactly a man but Spike is a Vampire who isn't etc. It reflects the difference in the way Buffy first met them, and I guess probably thought of them.

I also never say that Xander is in love with her…
I really didn't pick up on this... I think that makes me love it more.
