First: I'm really glad I know Beth's part of her canon. But even if I didn't, this sets that scene so perfectly. We both play and write with a lot of people, but I don't think I know very many people out there who've taken the time to study and live and breathe and know their character the way you know Beth.
Second: I've said this before but you impress the hell out of me on a regular basis. It's such a pleasure to get to write with you, because you do these things with words that just make my jaw drop every once in a while. The last paragraph in this ficlet is one of those moments.
Third: You've made Beth so real. She's gruff and she's ballsy and she's reserved and she's cautious and strong and it's all so in keeping with those 2 issues of canon. She's self-confident but with this edge of... well, this edge to her that's urgent. No wonder Spike couldn't resist her.
Thanks. Again. My alter-ego and I thank you. And hopefully if they fall, they fall together.
