I'm seriously out of touch with Buffy fandom these days - can someone point me at a Buffy/Satsu comm? There must be one, surely. I've been shipping them since the first couple of issues, am surprised it's become canon (and concerned that it's going to be passed off as a joke or a piece of fanservice with zero follow-up, or that Satsu's going to go evil and die) and I'd like to talk about it somewhere that's not filled with homophobia, apparent confusion over the existence of bisexuality, or ranting about how having sex with a woman has Ruined Buffy's Character Forever OMG.

I need to stop reading the ONTD thread about it. "apparently everyone on every show EVER must be gay nowadays" - gosh, not just the odd moment on Torchwood or subtextual House/Wilson but everyone on every show ever? Oh, the poor oppressed heterosexuals, why are there no straight characters or relationships on TV? *emo tear*

Huh. I haven't been reading the season 8 comics, so how did this come about? I just never saw it coming, using just the television show as a grounding, but hey, really, they should jujst make everyone bisexual and solve all sorts of problems there!

Satsu's one of the newly created Slayers from Chosen (a big group of the Slayers plus the Scoobies are living in a castle in Scotland) - it's been hinted for a while that she's in love with Buffy. Last issue was Buffy confronting her about it, saying that she was flattered and thought it was the 'cutest thing ever' but warning her that people who love her tend to die. This episode had them waking up in bed together (and everybody finding out about 3 seconds after Buffy stated a desire to keep it private to them...)
