Rewatching Passion as research for my B/A ficathon assignment (should really be doing the crossover one but it makes me cry...)

Buffy, to Giles: It's easy for you to say. You don't have Angel lurking in your bedroom every night.

:mind goes to inappropriate Giles/Angelus places:

ETA: dear Lord, Willow's wearing a horrible jumper. Cute plaits, though.
(five minutes later) Dammit, Jenny Calendar, I don't need to fall for another character at this stage! Let alone in the episode where you die!
Joyce was so having a secret affair with Angel.
Aww, Willow's jammies! And her poor fish...
This could very easily turn into a Buffy/Willow scenario.
Dru with Sunshine the puppy! I'd completely forgotten how much I loved Spike/Dru.
:the Angelus/Spike tension breaks my slashometer:
I like that magic shop better than the Magic Box. And the shop guy's funny. Too bad he has that big "Kill Me" sign on his head.
Xander's trousers! I take back what I said about Willow's fashion sense.
The drawing of Joyce! Secret affair! Oh, they were.
Angel's hair is sticking up all over, not just at the front.
Nice parallel with Buffy slamming the door on Angel and the last scene in Crush.
That shot of Angelus in the shadows at the back of the classroom is great.
As is the shot of him killing her in front of the window.
And after the slaughter, the funny - I love Willow thinking that as Giles is a librarian he doesn't know about S-E-X. That's crying out for some S2 dirtywrongunderage W/G.
Joyce's voice sounds odd.
Wait a second, when was Angel invited into Giles's apartment? (And how did Xander know where he lived in Prophecy Girl? And was there anybody in Sunnydale he wasn't doing?)
Giles finding the body - ouch. Ouch, ouch, ouch. Brilliantly filmed and acted.
Xander knows an awful lot about Giles's weapons.
The Buffy/Giles scene outside the factory... I have something in my eye.. :sniffs:
People get headstones really *really* fast in Sunnydale. Quite surprised she wasn't taken home to be buried (I take it she was the last of her tribe/family, then?)
Aha, that last line ("Angel's gone. Nothing's ever going to bring him back.") fits perfectly with what I want to write about.

On to Killed by Death

Ooh, Buffy hallucinating on the hospital gurney and having to be sedated is very Normal Again. (Also, ha! Proof that the mental institution back story is a false memory. Joyce doesn't even flicker at Buffy talking about vampires. If she'd already spent weeks in an institution two years before with the same 'delusions' wouldn't Joyce have gone nuts over this?) (Yes, I overthink things)
Stop moving your hands so fast, woman! I need to see if one of those dozens of rings is the Claddagh ring! [/anal retentive attention to detail]

By the way, anybody who's not following Crystalwank/One Wank to Rule Them All on F_W... actually, if you're not following it now you probably don't have a chance to catching up. But it's made me physically cry with laughter more than once today. And got me metaquoted on journalfen, whee!

I'd be all for the Joyce/Angel, or the dirtywrongunderage W/G...

Angelus/Joyce right here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/j_crew_guy/226635.html

:mind goes to inappropriate Giles/Angelus places:

Inappropriate? I don't understand. ;)

Crystalwank/One Wank to Rule Them All on F_W

I keep thinking it can't get much bigger, it's going to die off soon. But it just keeps growing! And I've seen Dom's face so many times now that *I* could probably draw him, and I don't have ~~Photoshop~~ artistic talent.

Bwah! It's now gotten so big that it will never stop. If anything, it's picking up steam.

I'm seeing stuff in the metaquotes that I missed on the way through.

thebratqueen quoting Fiddler on the Roof cracked me up, for some reason.

Hi Emma, how are you? Hope you had a nice Easter.
Do you still have AI on tape? Is it ok if you bring it the next time you're at sci fi (I think it's the wedensday after next) please.

Thanks. Hope you've been ok.
Chris.

I love Willow thinking that as Giles is a librarian he doesn't know about S-E-X. That's crying out for some S2 dirtywrongunderage W/G.

I wrote a W/G sex version of "Passion" in Little Savage - it's Chapter 6, if you're interested. Things still go very badly for poor Miss Calendar...

Wait a second, when was Angel invited into Giles's apartment?

Yeah, I wondered about that too. I fanwank it in my mind that Angel came by Giles's during the summer after S1 to ask if he's heard from Buffy...

The CrystalWank is the funniest fucking thing I've seen in fandom, ever. And it just.keeps.going. Have you seen the latest developements, with the Yahoo group?

::dies all over again::

Dude, seriously, I bought a paid Journal Fen account just for this wank. That's how much I love it. ;)

The Yahoo group posts - I was on the floor. Tears rolling down my cheeks. I thought I would never, ever stop laughing at the Magnificent and Serendipitous LA Story.

Joyce was so having a secret affair with Angel.

::nods::

For the trained eye it is obvious that everyone in Sunnydale had sex with everyone.

What I am really concerned about – is the fate of Sunshine the puppy. Did it escape the fire at the factory?

Dru had it at the magic shop, but I believe that was the last sighting! I'll have to check if she had it later at the factory.

Sunshine was such a cute little pup.

Dru likes cute puppies.

I think I remember it at the factory after the magic shop, but not during the fire.

Wait a second, when was Angel invited into Giles's apartment?

When he goes to see Giles in "Amends," he has to be invited in, implying that he never had been, and that's a year later. Of course, it makes sense that Giles of all people would do an un-inviting after the events of s2, but that's the only other time I can remember Angel visiting the apartment except for "Pangs."
Buffy needs a Nitpicker's Guide, like Star Trek: The Next Generation had.

Yeah, I assumed at that point that Giles deinvited him after Passion. (Of course you'd think that he would have thought of that when Buffy and Willow were doing the spell on their own houses)

I think Giles was on his way home to do that (Willow gave him the book with the disinvite spell when he went to the Summers house) but Angelus got there with Jenny's corpse before he got home...

Ah, good point! (On a different topic, Jenny clearly had a bad case of brain freeze, what with working alone, after sunset, in a building where vampires can stroll in without an invite, and not even taking a stake or a bottle of holy water with her...)

"MY HED IZ PASTEDE ON YAY" is still cracking me up, to the point where I am laughing loud while typing this comment.

God, me too. It's my MSN sign-in name right now *g*

Bwah! Same here.

Which page were you metaquoted? There are about 30, and counting.

I'm on a couple of them. (There I am on 17, but I have a better one somewhere, honest!) All 25 and counting of the metaquote pages are worth reading for the sheer hilarity...

Ok the Killed by Death... Yeah you are right about B's mum. Never thought of it that way.. thanks for pointing that out.

I like that magic shop better than the Magic Box. And the shop guy's funny. Too bad he has that big "Kill Me" sign on his head. -- that is the funniest thing I have read all day.

Actually this whole post was...

And after the slaughter, the funny - I love Willow thinking that as Giles is a librarian he doesn't know about S-E-X. That's crying out for some S2 dirtywrongunderage W/G. -- thinking bad thoughts about writing a cheesy fic based on this...

Oooh, write the Giles/Angelus, please please please?

Also,

cadhla's done a couple of fics touching on the Romany funeral rites that Jenny should have had and/or what it means that she didn't.

Will check it out since I was wondering about that - the fact that she wasn't even buried under her real name raised my eyebrows a bit.
