Have you seen this? Joss talks about issue 12 and a new development.... (Major spoilers if you follow the link!) My first reaction? Season 8 is turning into Torchwood! :) Oh, the joys of not caring are many and plentyful. I'm serious though about the Torchwood thing:

OWEN: Oi, you lot ... (He motions to the monitor.) Treat!
(Jack and Toshiko head over. Gwen is still kissing Carys.)
OWEN: Whoa.
JACK: Wow.
TOSHIKO: She said she had a boyfriend.
JACK: You people and your quaint little categories.

(I happen to have a tiny little cracktastic s8/AtF crossover plotbunny. This latest development is perfect! ::is delighted:: Might have to actually write the thing now, once other stuff is out of the way.)

ETA: Seriously, it just writes itself... (Did I mention how much I love TW? *g*)

Spike: Let’s all have sex.
Angel: And I thought the end of the world couldn't get any worse.
Buffy: I'm in!
[takes off her kevlar outfit to reveal tiny skimpy nightie]
Angel: ...
Spike: Brilliant! Spider - fetch the best demon brew and tell the girls we're having an orgy!
Connor: Yay!
Angel [aghast]: Go home!
Connor: No fair. [stomps out]
Spike: Bloody hell, why do you have to be so uptight? Let the boy have some fun.
Angel [grumpily]: He's slept with enough of my ex-girlfriends already.
Spike: I'm not a girl!
Angel: Jkdjfslkfjgkhfkjd!

[At this point I'm thinking that I'd like to have Captain Jack show up, since he is - of course - The Immortal in this verse. Should he bring Ianto (w. stopwatch, hockeystick and assorted other props)? What do you think? *happy sigh* I could keep writing this forever, trust me!)


Also, since I forgot this yesterday, being totally indifferent to s8 Buffy is v. handy when it comes to Spike in AtF, because I really, really don't want him to end up with Buffy. So I am free to ship him with everyone and anyone - Spider, Illyria, Connor... it's all good. (Of course he'll end up with Angel sooner or later, but until then I am happy just to follow the flow.)


I was going to say something about the AR, but I can't be bothered. And I ought to work on my winter_of_angel fic... ::deep sigh::

I was wondering when they would start pairing up the TV canon characters with the 2-dimensional ones...
Um... they've already paired up Xander with Renee.

Now I'm waiting for the first person to complain that Joss is "pandering to fanboys"... should be along in 3...2...1...

Um... they've already paired up Xander with Renee.

I'd say their mild flirting doesn't quite qualify as a full-on "pairing" prior to this issue. Of course, we don't yet know exactly what they do directly after the battlement conversation at the start of this - maybe they got down to it first, and Buffy and Satsu walked in on them and got inspired, and then Andrew comes in and fixes the cable, and...

I swear that writing comic!fic from now on will be an exercise in *not* letting them all have group sex...

(Torchwood is the future! All hail omni-sexuality!)

The show's way ahead of you...

"I'm suffering the after-ness of a bad night of badness."
"You didn't! Not with Parker again."
"No, with five really smart guys."
"Five! Ow. Oh. Oh, Buffy. Are you okay? Want to tell me about it?"
"I went to see Xander, but then I saw Parker and… then came beer."
"And then group sex?"

*giggles*

Oh Buffy... (Although she was still straight then!)

What about Spike/Spider? Or Spike/Beck? Or Angel/dragon?

Lots and lots of ships! :)

...0! Here I am, and yes, with more and more beautiful almost-naked girls appearing in Buffy-8 in steamy positions, I'm afraid it looks more and more like that, whether it is intentional or not on Joss' part.
Joss might be still telling himself it's all about girl power, but we ladies who love us some slash know better and can relate. ;)
