Sitting back and basking in everyone else's creativity again is fun. anonymous_sibyl wrote a Darla meme as well! Read and admire. Our Darlas are remarkably similar, though not identical, which just goes to show what a rich character she is.

Next, for Harry Potter fans: stellamaru wrote a fabulous Petunia story. You know, the Petunia and Lily relationship, and why it went sour, can be worth exploring just as much as the Snape-and-the-Marauders backstory, imo. Both were crucial for Harry, too.

Babylon 5 fans, read deborah_judges (entirely plausible ) AU for Delenn and Lennier here.

Moving on to LotR, honorh found this delightful bit on why the Fellowship isn't marriage material. Personally, I'd go for a fling on the side anyway but entirely agree about the marriage unsuitability. Enjoy.

Lastly, again thanks to honorh, who beta-read, the polished, collected and completeted Five Things Which Never Happened To Warren are up
here..

Moving on to my other addiction: Quiz Time!



You must like to spank or be spanked,
because your
romance is remeniscent of Secretary. A truly
modern
love story, it shows that you don't need
to be conventional to be
normal. You're
probably the type that owns a whole lot
more
leather than what's upholstering your car or
sofa. Yeah, you
know what I mean.



What Romance Movie Best Represents Your Love
Life?
brought to you by Quizilla


I haven't even watched that movie, nor do I know anything about it. This is almost reassuring in comparison:



You are the Lone Wolf. Dark, silent, mysterious you
stalk the hidden corners of the night. You
avoid the living and the undead, preferring the
high roofs of the city and the low tunnels of
the streets.

Oh, my! I got "Secretary", too! And I haven't seen it either. I should check what the other possibilities are. From "Casablanca" to "Secretary"...wow. I think it means you and I are really twisted.

Darla. Haven't read any of this yet, but the only other character who changed more profoundly than she did over the course of both series is Wesley. Somehow it worked. From the rough sketch of her in "Welcome to the Hellmouth" to her final days on "Angel", she got more and more complicated, and I believed it.

Although in the alley scene - the Angel-turning - they shouldn't have had her all painted up like that. Estee Lauder wasn't even a twinkle in anyone's eyes. Movies and TV always do stuff like that. JossTV redeems itself, though, especially after the flashback to the original human Darla's deathbed.

It's a babblefest I've started. Must stop.

I assume ff.net is being wonky. I just checked and the only story that was up was the first one.

Oh, and my quizzes say that my romance is "When Harry Met Sally" and that my vampiric archetype is the Dark Mother. Go figure.

No, it's up.

Look closer. I didn't post it in five chapters, but put all five episodes directly after the other (with Roman numbers, of course.)

Dark Mother, eh?

That death scene...

...really went for the realistic look, didn't it? At least as far as Darla was concerned. I'm still pondering on how what looked like nuns could be in Virginia at this point (Maryland, and some years later, yes, but Jamestown?) But then the Jossverse is disproportionally bursting with Catholics anyway. (Drusilla and Holtz, notably, and especially Holtz is an extremely unlikely candidate.)
