Whee. Pea, you posted at the B/A thread again. Yippee. Hee.
BTW, I agree on your reasoning for Becoming... for me I don't just love that episode for the B/A... the whole episode is amazing. And yes, the scene with Buffy and Joyce "Do you have any idea how lonely it is? How dangerous? I would love to be upstairs, watching tv, gossiping about boys, or GOD even studying, but I have to save the world again".
I struggled whether to put 'Forever' in my top 5... but ultimately, despite the fantastic scene at the end, and the beautiful B/A stuff... the majority of the ep weren't as strong as other episodes have been. But *sigh* that last scene, I have lost count the amount of times I've watched that. So sad.
Pea, do you mean the fic by Margot...
Silken Cages Series? Yeah, I still have the link.
You'll have to scroll down to it though.
