Oh my god, Willow's baby voice totally makes me stabby! AGREE.
I think it's a bit sad that folks sell a fictional relationship short like that. If it's in the Whedonverse, it ain't perfect (unless it's Zoe and Wash, which probably would have eventually gotten messed up if Firefly hadn't be cancelled and... uh, Serenity hadn't done that thing which makes me cry). But in the Buffyverse, it's pretty much a given that if the progression of the relationship is a big part of the story, then it will inevitably get effed up because they're all "doomed".
I wonder if the writers were consciously aware of the abusive/enabler dynamic they'd created for Willow/Tara...
Not that it matters because the AUTHOR IS DEAD. :P
