But set apart like this, it all seems to pointless and final.
I wondered about that. Some people've said this gives them some hope for B/A (even people who weren't B/Aers), and others seem to've said this makes it obvious B/A would never last. Though I always hold out hope they could make it together and achieve enough happiness for it to be worth it, this piece is also about that fact that the odds for that aren't necessarily good, and it would be a lot of hard work.
I liked that their personal quirks were such that I "sided" with each of them at different times. There's no villain, just two sides.
I'm SO glad you said that. I went through and marked who I sided with in each so that it would even out, but there were some in which I worried made Buffy especially out to be bitchy. Although Angel-bashers write lots of evil!apathetic!jerky!Angel, there's generally not as much of it as there is bitchy!Buffy bashing, and I just can't STAND that; it makes me sick. And sad. I think that a lot of times in a relationship, it's not any one person's fault.
I'm so glad you read this and appreciated it. I really value your opinions.
