I know I'm late...

This meme was all over the place a few weeks ago, and I thought it looked v. interesting, and then didn't get round to it. But better late than never, right?


If you were asked to pick one scene, one shot, one detail, one moment of some kind out of all the things I've written and say "This, this, for whatever reason, I remember, this is something that struck home with me, that I wanted to keep," what would it be?

Feel free to just mention bits that have stuck with you; they don't have to be your favoritest fic memories ever. :)

I love all your fic to pieces, but my favorite line is in My Immortal, when Buffy says, "He's not my boyfriend. He's my lover." It's just such a healthy thing for her to just admit that she's just having fun and making herself happy. And it goes a long way towards healing the "Sex=bad things" motif from the show. And then Dawn's reaction is fantastic too.

Happy New Year!

First of all, thank you so much for commenting! Am feeling rather less than 100% at the moment, so you've made my day! :)

Secondly, then I am very very pleased that that particular line stayed with you, since in many ways it encapsulates so much of what I love about the Buffy/Immortal relationship - things that predate Jack = The Immortal even. I always thought the idea of Buffy in Rome, having fun and finally not worrying about the future was one of the best things ever, and something I'm very grateful for. Once the Jack connection fell into place I began to see how he of course was the perfect person to help her (and vice versa.)

Dawn, I must admit, is generally priceless! *squishes her*

Finally, a Very Happy New Year to you too!

No one ever told him that becoming a father was such an immediate, total surrender - like falling in love. Yes, he decides, that’s the only description that fits.

This line from "I didn’t know it’d feel like this"...
When I read it, I remember JM's face as Buffy came down the stairs in 'Afterlife' and I saw in memory, my husband's face with his new [three times] children. I guess it was the joy, the sense of hope for the future - oh, the sappy happiness of the moment!!

♥ ♥ ♥ Oh I love that, thank you so much for sharing! And yes, I put a lot of my own experiences into it too (having three of my own) - it's completely sappy and sentimental, but how can it be anything else? It's just pure happiness. :)

And when they tried to reach up to it, tried to grasp it in their hands, it dissappeared like smoke, leaving emptiness in its wake. The very action of reaching causing it to vanish.

It came back - it’ll always come back - but it’ll never be theirs to possess.
