Re: ::BuffyWantsWillow:: James's response to Rod's spoilerpost-SPOILERS!!.

["uj18" <uj18@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Now look at that quote in the light of the above theory (which I
egotistically call Dan's Whacky Theory). If Buffy somehow comes out of
the Evil Willow year loving "her Willow" the way she should, that would
be forging Love from Pain, correct? That would entail Forgiving,
certainly? That would be Risking Pain, am I right? Although I confess
I don't know how to work "Death is Your Gift" into this. Unless Buffy
dies happily at the end of the series, having found true love-Death
being a Gift to her. Or maybe having found her Love for Willow leads
her to give the Gift of Death to Spike (ahh, such dreams)? Perhaps
we're talking Buffy once and for all defeats the Dark Forces and gains
the Gift of a peaceful, natural Death after a long life with her

No If your theory Is right Buffy's death is What started this whole cycle.
Hence Death IS her gift because it is her death will lead he to her TRUE soulmate.
So your theory about B\W being soulmates might not be all that wacky after all.

Just a thought.
