Story Notes: My first story here!
Title is based on the story of Achilles and Penthesilea - one day Achilles heard about this woman, this warrior, Penthesilea, and he wanted to kill her. And he fought and fought and fought until he finally reached her. And then he killed but as his sword drove through her neck, he looked into her eyes and recognised her as his equal, and he fell in love. He fell in love with her as she was dying.
And it really reminds me of Spike and Buffy. I don't think she realised that she really loved him until after she said it. And that's why I think their story is so tragic. I know he gets resurrected and they end up together again and their relationship is so much healthier and more functional but TV show spuffy is just pain.
