I'm so, so glad this resonated, and that it felt true to them; I was more than a little petrified of attempting any Joss-verse!fic, but that gift challenge was just the nudge I needed to free-fall over the cliff. *g*
And oh, dude — I am such an angst masochist; as much as I wanted to give them a happy ending here, I just couldn't. Because I'm the crazy girl who'll almost always choose the woe over the glee, if only because those endings hit me harder. So it's really not courage so much as it's self-serving, bwah.
Again, thanks so much for reading, and for the kind words!
