Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in
First off, I am really only posting this meme because I've asked for drabbles from a few people and must hold up my end of the bargain.
The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of ANY pairing/character of their choosing (of ANY fandom) from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level.

Obviously, I need to know the fandom in order to write the drabble. I'm sure you all know what I'm into by now. Also, I seem to be incapable of writing drabbles, so it will probably end up being a ficlet instead.
-------------------------------
Anyway, I uh... I seem to have gotten sucked back into Buffy/Giles fanfic. I thought I had weened myself off of it, especially since I hadn't read any in 2 or 3 weeks, and then I read that damn Buffy/VR.5 crossover and was like, "Well, now I need to read a more satisfying B/G fic," and once I start reading, I CAN'T STOP. Oooooh, it is a sickness. I end up shirking all of my duties and become engrossed in awful fic full of cliches that make me simultaneously cringe and melt into Buffy/Giles fangirl goo, and it just CONSUMES MY LIFE. Fic has never had this much power over me. I haven't even watched Buffy in a month. This is just... I fully blame VR.5 and my googling skills. But anyway, I came across an amnesia!Giles fic, and... I am kind of a sucker for fics where Giles and/or Buffy lose their memory which in turn makes them lose their inhibitions, and I most especially love them when they are wonderfully written. Combine that with Giles being in a much younger state of mind which brings about much hilarity, and I am in heaven. Therefore:
Cindy Lou Who by Gibberish
brings me so much glee that it is insane. I loved that fic like crazy. I do find it hilarious though how so many Buffy fics just have Buffy brushing off Riley like he was absolutely nothing to her. Oooooh, fandom, your Riley hate amuses me. Sometimes. I get a little defensive over him when people outright bash him, and I have no idea why. He's just... he was so sweet! He tried so hard to be enough for Buffy but knew that she would never open up to him the way she did with Angel. Or Giles. Or Willow. Or Xander. I mean... that's tough, knowing that the love of your life opens up to all those people more than she ever will to you. He just wanted to matter! Poor kid. He just... his face looks exactly like this little boy that I used to babysit, and I can't help thinking that's him when he grows up, so I'm just like, "Stop hating on Riley! He tried, dammit! He tried too hard." I think I just have a soft spot for characters that try too hard. But anyway, I don't even like Buffy/Riley, their scenes together were so freaking boring, but Riley himself was a nice kid (and kind of amusing). He gets hated unfairly. Hmph.
That was a weird tangent. I'm just... going to go back to reading B/G fic instead of doing the stuff I'm supposed to be doing.
