That was very good. A bit too heavy on the Bangel/early seasons stuff to suit me, but it certainly does go a long way to explaining Buffy's miserable life. Not sure if that was intentionally early-season-heavy to demonstrate how quickly her life became a constant battle, or if it's Bangel slanted and therefore had to zip past the other men in her life and the events from season 4 on. :)
The prompt I am using is friend/enemy. I wrote one about Angel and Buffy, but am trying to balance it out with other characters as well. The other drabbles are just floating around my mind at the moment.
Yes, this seems a bit heavy on the Bangel. The drabble I wrote is about how they were never friends, but being together was part of her path.
He was part of her path, definitely. And not ever really a friend. I don't have a problem with showing Angel's importance, I just feel it was too heavy on the seasons he was around and barely skimmed past Riley and Spike. Given that Spike arrived in season 2, that's pretty focused skimming. ;) But I know you'll do cool things with all the characters. :)
