/third party character becomes authorial mouthpiece by lecturing one half of pairing why they absolutely need to be with other half and what love is./ - OMG I thought of the same Angel/Cordelia thing. That's such a lazy and infuriating trope! /I did like Karen's relationship with Frank/ - I liked it too and LOL now I want to read that agony aunt fic! /Drawing the line at death but being fine with any degree of broken bones does not give you the moral high ground./ - LOL, word. /I am SO not a fan of secret identities as an angst device in relationships with people you're supposed to be close to and trust./ - I'm so there with you. Everyone knowing except Karen gave me Lydia flashbacks in the first seasons of Teen Wolf. Just don't, OK? You're not protecting anyone, you're just allowing them to go around "blind" (pardon my pun) and be in danger *because* of their ignorance.
