Oh, I'm completely terrified for him. Because you're mostly right. And, the few he has (and he's had a few moments of genuine lighthearted pleasure), are all wrapped up in his self loathing. Which, of course, is perhaps the main reason for the ship I sail on, Captain Logic bedamned.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Thanks for all the fish.
Oh, yes. He's had one or two smiles... Generally involving topping Lilah (take that as you will) and helping Fred get revenge. It's not really a good thing, though. He needs to forgive himself. And he needs Angel and the MoG to forgive him. And he needs to forgive them. And then there can be oil and nakedness and gay stuff.

Sadly, I've a sinking feeling that the closest we'll see to a group hug is Wes with his arms around the bloodied and battered Gunn.
Poor loves.
I'm torn between wanting to torture them even more, and wanting to feed them soup.

Thanks for all the fish.
I'm okay with bloody and battered hugs... Hell, I loved Boromir's death scene. If Gunn and Wes could have themselves one of those...
I really need to watch LoTR again.

Plei and Elena speak for me--or they did last night. Happiness isn't skipping hand-and-hand through fields of daisies, happiness is having a reason to get up in the morning other than a job you have to do. Or, more importantly, a reason to go home at night because you know there's someone there who can make everything better just for a while.

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

I hope not too much more importantly, since I've never had one.

Cats count. Heck, a perky fish will do the job.

Did I mention oh dear?

Never had a pet either. Still get along okay, though.
