"You're not so scary."
She'd grinned at him, for a moment.
"I'm your worst-"
Azar.
A brilliant flash of flame erupted and then there was a sound of falling sand and a dust pile, and she'd groaned at the sight of Xander and Jesse being led onward and missed entirely the astonished Buffy Summers dropping a stake at just what she'd seen.
"Dammit, Xander.

Summary
That's the difference between you and me.
This darker version of Willow squatted by her in a grim mockery of where this had all started, her face a stoic, murderously enraged mask. Every part of her hurt and Faith stared in utter terror at this pale spider-veined monster and with that sickening realization of just what lay behind that rage, she realized this might be how she went out.
You know what it feels like, now. Your body, completely in the control of something you can't stop, and you can't control. You hurt me, Faith. Went out of your way to try to ruin my life.
Willow then stood up right as her friends had found her, knowing what that light had meant even when Faith didn't.
But I'm not like you, and I never will be. Right now. Try me again and I'll flay you and burn you to ashes.
Faith found herself fully believing Red in that moment for reasons besides being on her back after being brutally ragdolled, not least of them the relish in that tone as the pale spider-veined monster had grinned at her for the first time.

Summary
"It would seem," Giles was reluctant as he looked at the pages of the book, "that Tara's suspicions are correct."
He looked at them. "Not only do the new laws manifest, and in ways subtly and sometimes grandly different, but..." he looked at Dracula, who was rather remarkably well put together for a being that had transformed twice, lost his clothes, regained them, and had a remarkable talent for posing as if he hadn't thoroughly embarrassed himself in every single way imaginable, "writing in this book creates them."
"Oh great," Willow murmured, "just what we all need. The power to rewrite reality itself in our hands. Because if there's one thing the Scooby gang's proved it's that we're totally and absolutely responsible with power and would never, ever abuse it."

Summary
"I really did think if it was you or Will in a scenario like this that she'd be more angry at me than you."
Tara's scowl was sharp. "Will's always seen magic as a tool and has done amazing things with it. Even when she respects it now it was the ashes of her older mistakes. Magic, for me, was what tied me to my mom. Now all I have are pictures, and only two of them. And you, Buffy, you took that from me."
Buffy glared. "I didn't have a choice."
"Will was winning that fight. Another few seconds-"
"I hit Kennedy for saying that."
"You know if you hit me Will will-"
"Only thing stopping it. I saved the world, Tara."
Tara pointed to the table. "No writing, Buffy. No writing of any kind. No music, no art. And this is just the first month. Killing magic didn't just stopped spells. And someone has to fix this."

"It might help us figure out something to beat the First."
Her gaze met Buffy's. "A weapon, maybe."
Her eyes flickered to Olaf's hammer.
"I mean maybe Olaf's little tool there-" Anya broke out in a sudden gigglefit that Willow ignored as an Anya-ism.
"I don't think it'd work on something you can't hit."
"Well that's kind of the point, isn't it? It can't hit. The minions it'll need to do that for it...."
