Oh, this was a beautiful essay.

I was shocked to read about many of the comments the writers of BtVS have made about ASH. Clearly, they have always underestimated his appeal, (sex and otherwise.) How unfortunate for them and us.

I'm not much of a het shipper in general, but I've always thought this pairing was interesting- maybe because of its UC-ness. And you really did them justice with the essay. Bravo.
