And I support it all. It's just a pity that there was so much less of everything you talked about in the final seasons. Like the part where Buffy sends her slayers out to get the insane, homicidal one that Angel's found, taking her off his hands because she doesn't trust him after having "sold out" to W&H. That always bothered me because it felt like a total betrayal of the core B/A trust...that willingness to get each other's back.

Otherwise, I'm with you 100% :) Very well written, thank you.
