Season 1 Darla is tricky. Anything that tries to explain how the Darla in "The Harvest" (if Jesse's blood is so pure, why does she act like a 15-year-old who just swigged 8 double espressos?) and the Darla in "Darla" are the same person is bound to be pure fanwank. :-) That's why I put in hints that she's basically been grovelling to be let back into the Master's good graces for some time - she's deliberately degraded herself. But you're right, having her die defiant might have worked better, but I really couldn't resist the image of The Master as an unforgiving God. :-)
(And there can be no Wishverse fic without VampWillow, no matter how small her part is.)
