Well, it's that time again!

Hey cool cats. I know I haven't been around much lately (personal post hopefully to come soon) but just popping in to say that it's my IWRY day. The [livejournal.com profile] iwry_marathon is a month long Buffy/Angel ficathon that's one of my favorite parts of the year. It's really making November fly by for me. I realized this morning that this is my fifth year participating (I started when I was a senior in high school; I'm a junior in college now) so I hope that some of you will enjoy my new offering, Trust Falls.

Anyway, happy weekend, friends.

I completely adored this like 1000%.

First, your Buffy speak is superb. The line Seems like a little too divide and not enough conquer. should have been in the show,

Secondly, I just love the idea of the AU. Here Buffy is just so alone, it breaks my heart. But I love how she and Angel have this complete trust in eaxh other by the end.

I hope this curse is different here, otherwise she's going to have no one when that all comes down. I don't even want to think about it.

Anyway, great story.

There were a few quotes that inspired this story. Joss has said that "... the very basic premise of the show: Buffy, Willow, Xander and the romance with Angel," and even though I love all of those things, I skewed them. I kind of wanted to play with loneliness (the scariest thing there is) and a relationship where Buffy's answer to Angel would never have been "I love you but I'm not sure I trust you."

I think that what Jenny was saying when she told Angel that they would have to talk about the unfairness of his curse, she knows about the loophole and would work to fix it. I do miss Xander and Willow, but I kind of love the idea of a universe where Buffy and Angel get to be best friends and have sex. ;)

Thank you so much for the comment. Truly made my night.
