I'm writing the Angel/Nina essay for ship_manifesto (squee!) and I'm desperately in need of fic for them. Anybody written or seen any? It doesn't have to be the focus of the fic.

So far I've got A Day in the Life of Puppet Angel and a drabble from Buffyverse1000 which I've happily read approx. 10,000 times. anniesj, I know you wrote one for me at tigannie_con but I can't remember which thread and whether it was locked...

*plots meta stuff about Angel/Nina as Giles/Olivia and the potential for darkfic and why the not-even-close-to-soulmates-or-true-love relationships are so damn appealing*

No need to bury anything anywhere. ::cuddles you::

It actually was interesting for me to talk about soulmates in life and in fiction, and I absolutely didn’t perceive you as bitchy or rude.

And, hey, this discussion got me thinking, too! So it’s all well!

I have one friend who is probably the most anti-soulmate person I've ever encountered. I enjoy these discussions with her because we don't allow each other to fall back on the "because that's just how it is" argument. Granted, when I whip out B/A, she laughs her ass of at me. *bg*

I've really enjoyed reading y'all's thoughts. I don't go for the sappy, "ooh, I've found my soulmate and now my life is perfect. We'll never be apart and we'll never have any problems." Ugh, no. I think that's one reason I love B/A so much - yes, I think they're soulmates, but dude, have they had an easy time? Hell no. Has it been a bed of roses for them? That'd be a big no. *If* there is any kind of a AtS/BtVS future and *if* B/A are reunited, I want it to be as real and as messy as possible.
