Tea and ShizNat, and the whole Buff stuff.
I was having my usual cup of tea and I realise I should give ShizNat another whirl. Though I have to admit, lately I re-watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer during my summer vacation and it was better than I remember and I've been sucked into the Buffy fandom of femslash. I'm currently re-watching Angel, my sister and I played a drinking game to the puppet episode. I have to admit, the only thing that always got to me in Angel was when Angel lost his soul again. It was awesome, don't get me wrong, and Faith breaking out of jail was epic. But seriously, I don't think he loved Corelia enough to lose his soul over her like that. Then again, he totally calls out Buffy's name but why couldn't they just have him screw Buffy? I would believe that. And I love Cordelia, but Cordelia-Angel is so not close to Buffy-Angel.
And OMG I hope I don't sound like a Twilight fan parallel.
Back to the Buffy femslash though - I know saying this might get me a lot of grief from Buffy/Faith fans:
I don't think Buffy and Faith could have a functional 'love' relationship. Too much shit there, and the only good that would come from it it hot, sweaty, passionte sex. But love? I don't see it.
They understand each other in ways no one else could, they have the whole opposite thing going on, and they fight. A lot. Sexual tension maximum, secret deep love... not so much.
I don't see Buffy falling for a girl in general, just giving them pity sex (Satsu) to get sexual frustration out. Or having angry sex with Faith... 'cause that would be hot.
Faith on the other hand, could make it work. I've been reading some fanfics out there and I think the ultimate Faith/girl pairing is with Willow. There's a cool Faith/Tara sotry written by a French author who translates decently to English (The rocky path series by Gabrielle Henson). I also like the Faith/Dawn idea. Dawn was a key made to be protected by the slayer after all, so Buffy loves her like a sister and Faith in a whole different proportion.
I started a fic about that, and I'll see where it takes me. I also started some Faith/Willow writing. I think I might try issuing a challenge to have Faith and WIllow connected by the scythe spell?
But ShizNat remains my one true fanfiction love, I miss it :(
