Rec: Like A Beating Heart (The Princess Bride)
Story: Like A Beating Heart
Author: voleuse
Fandom: The Princess Bride
Genre: Drama, Romance
Pairing/Character: Westley/Buttercup
Summary: Waiting hurts, and may take more than a season.
Squeeing: The Princess Bride is a nostalgia fandom for me, and this fic addresses one thing I've always wondered: how Westley can adore Buttercup so. It has a really great spin on Buttercup's nature.
Clear, crisp writing and a focus on the main point make this shortfic worth a read.
Excerpt: She lives solely in the present, his Buttercup. It's why she can never quite apologize for the way she treated him, before. She doesn't see how it matters, if she loves him now.
