I've spent way too much time being cranky over the last couple of days. Do not want. Time to get out of my own head, if it's going to be such an unpleasant place

For you: Benton Fraser often has a persistent itch between his shoulder blades, right in that spot where he can't reach it. When he can get away with it, he'll stand in doorways and rub his back against them, trying to scratch the itch. One night it drove him so crazy that he went into the kitchen and picked up the pasta server, but he couldn't actually bring himself to use it.
You know I didn't make that up about Angel's orgasm face, right? I just watched an episode where you see his orgasm face, and it cracked me up cos that's exactly what it looks like.
I never have seen much Buffy, and it isn't for the lack of every single person I know trying to ram it down my throat. I've never been able to get into it before. It has two things I really don't like: vampires and high school. Also, I know myself well enough to know that I'd become obsessed with Giles, and I'd want to read smut with him in it, but the stock of characters to get him to play with is mostly a group of teenagers, and that squicks me beyond belief.
I've seen just enough of the first season (maybe 4 eps) to know that I'd like Willow best, and I would mostly not care much about Buffy.
I'd be more likely to enjoy it these days then I was back in the heyday. How ironic would it be if I suddenly fell for it NOW, when everyone I know who loved it has moved on?

I only just got into Buffy, after years of resistance. I am most definitely not going to ram it down your throat though!
The interesting thing I've noticed is that the fandom is still very much alive. I think it was big enough at the time that when most of it fell off, there were still a good number of die hards hanging in there. Also I guess there's people like me who came to it late.
The hardest thing about coming to closed canon years after its heyday is staying unspoiled. You spend a lot of time telling people very loudly NO SPOILERS!!! I managed OK though, except for one or two things that slipped through.

I never cared much for Buffy. It's the supporting characters that I really love. Willow is AWESOME.

Well... that het series I linked you to is way more plot than ship. There's a very cool (and not at all MarySueish) OFC that he meets and hooks up with, but she's not in all of the stories. It's mostly just Giles in England, living a life away from the other BtVS characters but still being a Watcher and being angsty and making the hard choices and being incredibly awesome. *flails with love*
That's a good recommendation, I'll add it to my list of things to read! I'm not hugely into angst, but if there's a point to it, and other elements of awesomeness involved, I'm there.
Paving Stones Series by mpoetess and wolfling. There's a bit of kink, but it's not gratuitous. It's all about the two of them after the end of S5, trying to find ways to survive the grief and loss. Really powerful stuff. And hot as hell.
Me: my two deal-breakers for potential boyfriends are homophobia and eating with their mouth open.

Also: I can appreciate that. *nodnodnod*
