Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

What is even happening?

Upon occasion, certainly. I would say that about all of the ME characters though.
Yes, I would. But, although I have a love of the character Willow, I don't get the mad Willow love I've seen throughout fandom.

isn't there anyone else left besides me, who would, upon occasion, like to slap Willow across the face?

t hand up Oh, my, yes. She's got so much faith that her cuteness will get her out of any problem that she could almost be a Cordette. "But I'm cute and I'll pout and I'll make cookies! Doesn't that make up for playing with your minds and nearly getting us killed?"

YES! And she can be so petty, mean and selfish.

I still have dire suspicions that Willow used some sort of spell on Tara to get Tara to agree to bring Buffy back. Tara was so adamant against bringing Joyce back that it should have taken lots of very convincing arguments to even get Tara to concede that it might even be a good idea to consider it.

It's so cool when I'm raring to answer and I can scroll down and find that Connie has once again done my job for me.

I think Buffy's death hit Tara a lot harder than Joyce's did. And note she was fully aware that what they were doing was both wrong and immensely dangerous, and voiced those concerns to the assembled group to make sure everyone was going in with their eyes open. I think she made the grief-based decision to ignore her principles and common sense . There probably were a lot of convincing arguments over that summer, but Tara probably really, really wanted to be convinced, too.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

There probably were a lot of convincing arguments over that summer, but Tara probably really, really wanted to be convinced, too.

And don't forget -- the post-S5 summer they all continued to patrol without Buffy (though with the Buffybot), so Tara probably had a good idea of what hell (literal) would descend on Sunnydale if the Buffybot ever broke/malfunctioned/etc. She knew that they needed the Slayer back.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Were there fics written where the plan was to, instead of resurrect Buffy, kill Faith?
