It's a happy sort of day! :)

Happy Happy Birthday girlpire and mrs_underhill! Hope you're both having fabulous, brilliant days with lots of love and joy! :)

♥ ♥ ♥
Also Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I bring you a couple of Whoniverse fic recs (since I'm drawing a blank on any Spuffy ones. What's up with that?), both brilliant:

Valentine's Day, This Year. (Summary: How do you hold a memorial for people who don't even remember they died? Martha, post S3. Abso-bloody-lutely-perfect, and it makes me cry in the best possible way.)

Romantic (With A Lowercase R). (Summary: Besides, Rose was quite certain if there’d ever been a human celebration crafted to make the Doctor uncomfortable, it was probably Valentine’s Day. Rose held no delusions about him being the sort to enjoy candlelit dinners or long talks about feelings – he was, after all, still the man who’d said “quite right too”. Rose/TenToo, post S4. And parallel!Donna who is made of awesome! *g*)

♥ ♥ ♥
BUT - for all Buffy fans! I've been looking for a fic, and I can't find it. It's Spike/Harmony, set during S5, and involes some kind of spell or other that makes Spike infatuated with Harm. I'm 99% certain it begins with the words 'Spike was as happy as a clam'. Anyone remember it?

♥ ♥ ♥
ETA: Just watched 'Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered'. Oh show. Oh itty, bitty, Scoobies. ♥ (Also, everyone calls Angelus 'Angel'. This pleases me!)

Yeah, that whole Angel and Angelus are totally different people thing was a bit of a ret-con, wasn't it?

[elisi]

Totally. :)

Happy Valentine's Day, and thanks for the 'hug'! :)

[elisi]

My pleasure, and I hope your day has been lovely. (With or without all the silliness. My dear husband thinks it's all too crassly commercial and refuses to take part!)

I love that Martha fic. *sniffles*



(And I agree wholeheartedly with your ETA.)

Brilliant, isn't it? And she's so *strong* and just carries on!

(And I agree wholeheartedly with your ETA.)
Old!skool Buffy is made of love. :)

I'm not sure when it started to be Angel and Angelus. I've always loved it when Angel/Angelus are one person. What's the point of Angel torturing himself with guilt and seeking redemption if they were different people.

Heh, it's funny, but when you think about it, Xander was the one who saw the truth all along while the others tried to justify it to their liking.

*nods a lot* It's an AtS thing, I'm pretty sure. And I can see that it made sense to use different names, but...

Xander and (later) Robin Wood. Although they, too, were trying to spin it to justify things. Basically I guess it's COMPLICATED!

Of course. I guess all characters saw what they wanted to see.

Just like the viewers... ;)

Happy V-Day to you too. :)

Awww, thank you! :)

Oh, thank you!
And what a great idea to watch BBB on Feb. 14th. :) I wish I'd thought of that! I watched Fear Itself last Halloween but this one is so much better, it's a pure a gem. I should watch it ASAP. :)

[elisi]

My pleasure! :)

Re. BBB then I've just friended someone who's watching Buffy for the first time, and mentioned how much she enjoyed that ep, and I thought "Oh! Valentine's!" And since it was late by the time we'd got children to bed etc. an episode of Buffy was just the right length. :)
