I love the way you talk about that, that Angelus can't take anything from her and that the season is so gentle, despite how violent and heartbreaking it gets sometimes. It's really--it makes me all sniffly to think about it that way too, and I really think it's true, I'm seeing it now that I rewatch it (I'm in the middle of season 2). It's like she has something in herself that she can hold onto, no matter what, and the pain is pain and the hurt is hurt, but it doesn't break her.
I've always liked her, but I can see how a teenage girl might not have, you know? I think getting a little older makes us more sympathetic, or something.
*snickers* Prediiiictable. IDK, does it have pining? Because if it doesn't, I probably can't write it. I'm really bad at porn (don't let Jen tell you any different). Also, I'm confused about whether the comfort has to be directly related to the hurt--I really want to write slayer!Z with her watcher after their version of the judge, so exhaustion would work, but it's not like her watcher telling her about respect will help the exhaustion. You know?
