I totally agree! Even before I joined actual fandom (watching the show originally), Faith was one of my favorites. She felt real to me, and was more identifiable--especially as she went on. (And, can I say? Five By Five & Sanctuary, best episodes evar. ^^)

Tear You Apart was insane good. Before then, I hadn't seen much explored on the darker aspects of Simon/Kaylee--of course, I never explored the fandom much, either, but still! Talk about twisted. :D

Anyway, I took a peak at your interests! OMG Fiona Apple, Dresden Dolls, Donnie Darko! *squee* We seem to have a lot in common!
