The thing that I like about angst fic is that you get to see depths of characters, the ends of loyalty, or how deep it actually goes, what it takes to make someone turn around and do something they'd sworn that they'd never do, the depths of love and how much it hurts when someone who's attached is in danger or estranged.
I'm one of those people who likes putting characters through the emotional wringer. I'm so callous to poor Rose, because a) I've gone through some of the same stuff, and b) even when she doesn't know it, I know what's going to happen next and I really can't properly feel for her anymore.
