to have Buffy betray Spike as badly as Angel did her.
I can actually see that happening much more than the opposite, too, although that would be piling a heck of a lot of mistake-making on Buffy considering the guilt she already bears/feels for S8. It would be interesting to see the dynamic if Spike were the injured party and to see him try to move on while she lingered- but interesting in an academic, 'what-if' sense, not in an 'I accept this as remotely likable or plausible' sense.
Dawn apologizing to her abuser Kenny was the first misstep in a long line of them
Honestly, I'm quite glad I only started reading at #36. I've thought about going back and reading the whole season, but most of the time, and especially learning stuff like this, I find I can't be bothered.
With people like you turning out the good stuff, I imagine I'll be okay...
*hugs* Speaking of good stuff, are you planning to continue your Dru/Spike/Buffy post-S8 fic that you started during SS? That was very intriguing and delightful and definitely a concept I wouldn't mind S9 exploring.
