Woke up and got around to reading through these. Thanks!
I particularly like the Agents of Their Own Salvation piece, for not just discussing the problem, but providing a clearly explained and broken down example of how to do it right.
Reminded me of the Buffy Episode I re-watched last night (Wrecked, from Season 6). Dawn, having just broken her arm in a car crash, gets attacked by a Demon, but still keeps fighting back, and even though she's clearly overmatched and losing, is still affecting the Demon with her attacks, slowing it down enough that it doesn't manage to kill her before Buffy gets there to save her.
It was also nice in that the one Male Protagonist in that sequence (Spike) just acts as a Support Character, getting Dawn clear of the action while Buffy and Willow take down the Demon.
