Gosh, thanks! One of the things that I love about BTVS is that most of the characters feel like real, complicated people to me and I'm happy you feel like I captured that in the drabbles.

I don't know if it's a contrary streak, or just coming to the fandom very, very late, but I don't hate Kennedy. I liked Tara, and liked Willow/Tara until Willow got abusive and kind of soured the whole thing for me.

Kennedy's abrasive and aggressive and a bit lacking in the empathy department, and that's different from anyone else Willow's ever dated. But I think that's the only kind of person who would even try to be with Willow in S7. A thoughtful and empathetic person would pick up on Willow's grief and fear of moving on, and would respect that. Kennedy either doesn't notice or doesn't care, and she's able to get close and be supportive as Willow works through some things, which is a good thing for Willow and the rest of the world.
