This makes me think about all those fics in which Angel or Spike are "the hero" and Buffy is the villain or the evil and deviated slayer, take your pick, and all I can think is YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
(Which, okay: everybody writes and reads his own stories. De gustibus non disputandum est and everything. But once in a while we have a female hero who isn't your traditional female hero, who is multifaced and complex like a man and who is the center of the narrative. Why with the patriarchal shit even here?)
