As part of the Alice in Wonderland/Rabbithole day craziness, sdwolfpup's journal has been turned over to the pure love of Buffy and Owen (from season 1's Never Kill a Boy on the First Date)

This works out nicely for me, because I love the episode, love Owen and his proto-Rileyness, and I got to snag me a snazzy new icon. Offy 4eva.

:ponders what might have been:


ETA: suddenly thought of a variation on the rants meme. Sort of. Gimme a pairing, I'll burble about why they're awesome, even if it's Angel/Clem.

If there's anybody who deserves the adoration of (and tons of sex with) a gorgeous younger man, it's Joyce. There's no better time for this to happen than season 4, when she's got the house to herself and is free to do whatever she likes, probably for the first time since she married Hank. And look, there's Graham, all studly and available and underused in fic. And I'm not saying he had a crush on Maggie Walsh, but I don't think there's enough canon to say either way, so it's something to think about...

I'll admit that quit a lot of the time I write stuff that isn't incredibly deep (and would do this even more frequently if I wrote longer stuff). My default setting is '[romantic] comedy with vampires' and Joyce fits into that very nicely. I think she's a rebellious minx under the veneer of respectable single mom, and with Graham as her strait-laced straight man, you've got your screwball comedy set-up right there. Throw into the mix the fact that Graham's best friend is dating Joyce's daughter and the Initiative/Slayer secret identities, and you've got a comedy of errors. Which, admittedly, would put most people right off. But that's my thing, so it makes me happy.

GOD yes.

I really must think on Joyce/Graham more, but I just love what you've said about them here. :)
