Yes. Yes, yes, yes to everything you said. I'm a self-professed sadist to my pups and I ofttimes thrive on angst, but at least I'm aware of it? XD I'll keep it in mind in future. However I am always a lover of fluff and comparatively normal plot lines, so...it's all about finding a nice balance, methinks.

Is that something along the lines of what you were trying to say?

Also also, I second the needing a good long talk about Cain and Smecker. STUFF. Let's chat.
