Poor Avrelia! We're turning her journal into a fanfic discussion group.
It's...okay, I get that she feels there's a cool message to that and that it's a dark, edgy topic to explore...it's just that it doesn't work at all with these particular characters.
I'm not even sure she's seeing it as dark and edgy. Some of her reactions to comments seem to suggest that she's seeing these developments as positive which genuinely boggles my mind. Sometimes it feels like I'm reading an old skool bodice-ripper romance written as literary fiction. Essentially Buffy is fine as long as Spike is the one in control - very much not the characters, and frankly not that interesting.
