Rating/Warnings:PG
Characters/Pairing: Xander/Willow
Summary/Other Info: Now, Xander wants Willow.
Why were relationships always so damn complicated? He needed to know.
At first he couldn’t see her as a potential girlfriend material. It was too weird. She was Willow. She had always been his buddy, his pal, his best friend. There had never been any romance between the two of them. But that was before he had seen her with Oz. And suddenly an emotion he had never felt before when it came to Willow coursed through his body. He could see her in a different light. Now all he had to do was open up the lines of communication.

Characters/Pairing: Angel/Buffy
Summary/Other Info: It's the end
Tears blurred her vision as she watched him walk away. This couldn’t be the end of their relationship.
Angel had made the decision to leave and end their romance without giving her a chance to change his mind. More emotion then she had ever felt welled up inside of her. How dare he! Weren’t the lines of communication between couples supposed to remain open so that they could discuss important decisions, like breaking up, before they well...broke up?
She wanted to run after him, beg him to stay but she knew it was too late his mind was made up.

Characters/Pairing: Jayne
Summary/Other Info: Jayne likes women, just not to keep.
A conversation with Book had taken an ugly turn when the Shepherd had asked Jayne if he wanted a permanent relationship. He had even mentioned that on the last planet they had visited he had seen several women who would make a good wife.
It had taken all of Jayne’s self-control not to run. He loved women; he really did, in his bed, writhing beneath him or even on top of him. They could be friends or even coworkers. The last thing Jayne Cobb wanted was a wife... at least permanently. He was happy being single. Thank you very much.

Rating/Warnings:PG
Characters/Pairing: Jack/Sam
Summary/Other Info: Jack acts like...well Jack and Sam resists the urge to retaliate.
It was hard for a couple to make a relationship work. And even harder when he happened to be her commanding officer. But somehow they managed to keep their relationship a secret by pretending to be mere coworkers and even friends when they were around other people.
But sometimes Jack liked to make things even more difficult. For a moment she could’ve sworn she had seen him wink as he walked passed. It was all she could do not to pinch his ass in retaliation but she quickly stuffed her hands in her pockets and resisted the urge. For now.

Challenge: 27: Relationships
Rating/Warnings:PG
Characters/Pairing: Remington Steele
Summary/Other Info: Remington is a talented rogue, except where relationships are concerned.
Remington Steele was a man of many talents. He was suave, debonair and he was quite good-looking if he did say so himself. And he had great communication skills despite what Miss Holt said to the contrary.
But he had one secret... well more than one actually but this was the one that sometimes, late at night, when he was alone, almost worried him.
He wasn’t good in relationships. That wasn’t to say he wasn’t good with the romance side of things. But he felt he made a better coworker or even friend then a husband. At least for now.

Characters/Pairing:Wolverine/Rogue
Summary/Other Info: Wolverine dreams of Rogue
Our relationship is one of friendship. That’s all we will ever be. Friends.
I know I shouldn’t want her, shouldn’t love her but in my dreams I do all that and more. In my dreams we have the romance I could see happening between us if only I could allow it.
My heart tells me to follow my emotions. But I can’t. I know I am not what she needs. No matter how much I wish otherwise. I will never hold her in my arms, kiss her lips. I know that she will never be mine.
But for my dreams.

Characters/Pairing: Mick/Josef
Summary/Other Info: Mick and Josef will be together forever.
Relationships weren’t always what they seemed. That was something Mick knew for a fact. Anyone watching the interaction between him and Josef would never guess they were a couple. But they were.
They appeared to be just friends in public with no displays of emotion or romance of any kind between the two of them. But when they were alone and the lights were dimmed, that’s when all pretense stopped.
Possessiveness burned hotter than any fire when they were together. Josef belonged to him and Mick belonged to Josef. Forever. And for a vampire, forever was a really long time.

Characters/Pairing: John
Summary/Other Info: John doesn't have time for a romance.
“Is there anything else you want, Mister?”
As he raised his bottle to his lips he paused and stared at the beautiful woman waiting for his reply. He wanted to say yes. But he knew better.
He had only stopped in for a quick beer before he headed out of town. There was no time for a relationship. Especially one that had the potential for a romance attached to it. And she was the kind of woman a man wanted to keep.
“Maybe some other time, Sweetheart.” John paid his bill and quickly left before he could change his mind.

Rating/Warnings:PG
Characters/Pairing: Dylan/Doyle
Summary/Other Info: Set during the Season 5 Episode Totaled Recall. Dylan wants more from Doyle than he should.
I kissed her. I really did it. I kissed Doyle! The words keep running through his mind in disbelief. Dylan didn’t understand how it had happened. Or even why. He didn’t have that kind of relationship with Doyle. Of course that wasn’t to say he hadn’t thought about it. Because how could he not?
But when it came to Doyle his emotions were all mixed up. He knew he should just think of her as a coworker, an extension of Andromeda but every time he looked into her eyes he didn’t want to just be friends, he wanted the romance.

Characters/Pairing: Tokalah/Anna
Summary/Other Info: Loving a white woman was harder than he thought it would be.
From the first moment he’d seen her in his vision she had captured his attention. He’d thought she was a dream. Until one day he’d come face to face with her and nothing could have prepared him for his emotions. Even though she was a white woman it still hadn’t stopped him from wanting her.
Tokalah kneeled on the mountain and prayed for guidance. He’d known his relationship with Anna wasn’t going to be easy. Although, he’d never thought it would be this difficult. After all she was a woman and he was a man, what more did they need?
