Character: Jonathan
Concrit: Please, in comments

Note: Written for a prompt at Open on Sunday: That which yields is not necessarily weak.

“I don't want to talk about that.”

“All right Jonathan. Could you tell me why you gave up the gun?”

“What?”

Dr. Matthews reviewed his notes. “You gave the gun to Buffy Summers. Why? Were you afraid you'd upset her? Because she's a girl?”

You know I could have taken that by now. That wasn't the reason. He'd given her the gun because she'd told him everyone was hurting and because he could see the pain in her eyes, but mostly because she'd waited for him to hand it to her. He'd given her the gun because she'd trusted him.

I haven't seen S7 as often as the earlier seasons. It's the only one I don't own so, while I have seen Jonathan's death, I don't recall it well. I do like the state of grace and then death bit though. That is lovely.

I sort of want to get S7 just to see Storyteller and watch all the versions of Jonathan's death that Andrew comes up with! And I'm sure beer_good_foamy's meta was excellent and insightful.

BGF's meta's are the sort that sometimes have me scratching my head a little the first time I read them because I've been away from that sort of language and sophistication for such a long time; then I re-read and the lightbulb goes on in my head; and then each time going back I get something else again from them.
