What's your one true pairing? Buffy/Angel What's something you love about it? They love each other, a lot. They fight well together. They were my first OTP, I think. I shipped them before I knew what shipping was. What's a reason you think these characters are good together? Because they're equal, because he loves her enough to leave her for her own good, because in 140 years he loved exactly one person. Oh, I'm sorry, you asked for one reason? What would you say about it if you wanted to try to get someone interested in it? I would show them a few episodes. My words don't do the pairing justice. What's a scene in canon that occurs between these two characters you really like? Oh, God. Too many. All of seasons 1-3 + "Forever".
What's a fic you love that features it? a2zmom's Guilt trilogy is a most recent favorite! What's a fic you consider a "classic" to it (even if you yourself don't think much of it)? Ducks' "Something Old" series, though to be honest, I've never made it through the whole thing. That isn't to say I don't think much of

Gah, I knew I'd have at least one typo in that chunk of text... 240 years... I didn't notice any others, but if you find something you can't figure out the meaning of, I should be able to explain...

I've never made it past the first couple of chapters. And that IS to say I didn't think much of it. The first couple chapters are very gooey to me, and don't really jive with how I view B/A. But I've heard several other people say the same thing and that it improves on further acquaintance, so I'm determined to read it all some day. (And I mean no disrespect to Ducks, also, as I know from other short fics of hers I've read that she can write fabulously. She is, after all, a pillar of B/A fandom :o)

Both seconded. Hard.
"Imaginations of Her"
Love that fic.
I'm easy: "I love you."
Aww! My insides just melted a little.
The age Buffy was when things started, I guess.I might be squicky, but I like that (I have a Daddy!kink anyway, and that's definitely squicky). You know, one of the first things
( ... )
On the age thing, don't get me wrong, it's not something that bugs me a lot. I really had to pause to come up with anything for that question. I just think that's one thing that someone could potentially use against me in an argument that I wouldn't really win. I love that Angel's so much older and experienced in the ways of the world (because honestly, once you're dating a vampire what difference does it make that he's a couple centuries older?), and when you get to the point where she's 18 and he's... still old, there is no problem for me. It's just, even if Buffy had to grow up too fast for her age, 16 is really very young. I don't tend to dwell on it that much, though. If I were 16 and a guy like him started lurking around, I'd probably fall for him too

Oh no, I get it. I just find it interesting how that age difference attracts me--and it's because I have a kink, that's all. I really really like older!brooding!world-weary/innocent!naive!virgin. Although all people mature at different ages, I do think 16--in a real life scenario--might've been not such a good age to embark on the relationship she did with Angel.
the claddagh ring he gave her means they're actually MARRIED!" fics
This. Drives. Me. Nuts!!!!!!!!!! If it were true, Buffy would bitch-slap his ass and have nothing to do with him ever again. She'd be effing ticked that he married her without telling her. I mean, how unfair is that? Ugh.
Oh, sorry. I can see thinking it kinda sweet. Except I can't, really. But I DO think the rings are sweet, and at first I was totally into them. But now if I see them even mentioned in a fic I am very, very wary.
And, actually, in at least one I read Buffy definitely did get furious and hunted him down to, as my father would say, "give him 'what for'". There was lots of yelling and screaming and then they.... somehow resolved it and lived happily ever after? Huh. I don't really remember. It's been a couple years or so since I subjected myself to one of those.
