    Summary

    Inspired by the movie "When Harry Met Sally", following a tumultuous introduction, over the course of a number of years we see tricky encounters turn into friendship and much more.

    WHMS is on my annual Christmas movie list in December, and after this year's viewing, I got inspired and this is the fruits of my labour. I hope you like it.

    Summary

    One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.

    (A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

    Summary

    She was amazed how fast her inhibitions had sublimated and blown off like vamp dust in a strong westerly. She couldn’t count on the fingers of both hands the times she’d fought with him, but it had never gotten her blood up the way it had when he’d struck her in the alley. It had started with fury and surprise—he hadn’t been able to hit her since the Initiative—but the battle lust had transitioned smoothly into real lust as they'd played through their usual pageant of violence.

    Buffy had been knocked breathless not by how wrong it was or how they’d crashed from the upper floor to the basement, but by the sheer force of how ready she’d been to bare her tender places to him after five years of antipathy.

    Vignettes of Buffy’s relationship with Spike from Seasons Six and Seven.
