See! That's why I originally had such a hard time with Spike/Angel.
Yeah, I know. But, like I've already told you, most A/S fic out there is utter crap.
so much Spike/Angel is Angel being dominant and Spike being submissive, using the "sire/childe" thing as a way to take away all Spike's independence and make him Angel's slave. (...) there was this original view of Spike as always secondary to Angel, hot and useful as a sexual object, but he always has to be "put in his place."
The amazing thing is that I don't know where writers got that perspective because that is not, IMO the way the relationship is depicted in season 2. Spike? Submissive just for the sake of it? Ah frigging ah! I think not! Anyway, I've already made my perspective on this clear here. I think you've read it because it's on the "Conviction" review thread. But if you didn't there's the link. ;)
Anyway, you know where I stand - heck, you've archived my fic, haven't you? *g* I'd be surprised if we didn't agree on this. Now, that would be strange.
