You know, I almost missed the Buffy/Angel and Buffy/Spike mirror thing. I think that deserves a post all of its own. Brava.

You mentioned "effulgent" here, and I was wondering...Do you think William's poem (though shown in its entirety at the end of both series) was a self-fulfilling prophecy? Am I crazy?


"My soul is wrapped in harsh repose;
Midnight descends in raven-colored clothes.
But soft...behold!
A sunlight beam
Cutting a swath of glimmering gleam.
My heart expands,
'Tis grown a bulge in it
Inspired by your beauty--
Effulgent."

I'd write about it myself but one, no one cares what I have to say really, and two, you're insanely fantastic at making points.
