Maybe Someday. Chapter 7.

Apr 11, 2005 14:29

The last two chapters were ridiculously awkward to write - this one (and the one following) practically wrote itself, which was a great relief. We're leaving Buffy to get some well-earned sleep and joining our two favourite souled vamps who also might have a few 'issues' to sort out (remember that this is a sequel to 'The Summer After ( Read more... )

my fic, maybe someday

Damn, woman, you're converting me into a Spangel!!!

But, seriously, wonderful chapter. So many sharp observations.

And I guess I’m sort of glad it’s going to be you, at least this way it stays in the family

Priceless.

Heee! *is very proud* But - I just love their dynamic. It's a thing of beauty.

Thank you - I *loved* writing it. :)

Priceless.
You just can't go wrong with Angel...

Wow, that was wonderful. Spike explaining Buffy to Angel shone a spotlight on how much she has changed since her teenage years with Angel. If Angel was holding out hope that he was the one, that should be well and truly gone now. Spike sees her, flaws and all, and still loves her. That's how you make a relationship work.

The conversation about the Shanshu and Angel's sacrifices was quite moving. Angel really has been battered by the powers That Be, and to what purpose? It's all sacrifice all the time. This made me ache for him: if there is no bigger plan for me... if nothing I do matters, then all that matters is what I do. No carrot and he's still willing to fight the good fight, because it's the right thing to do, and he's damn gracious to Spike about the Shanshu? He really is a hero.

Indeed - and Spike doesn't even know what he's done...

And now I want to re-watch 'Touched'. *sigh*

Poor Angel indeed, he just breaks my heart. Being the 'Chosen One' was what gave him purpose, and also what ruined his life.
