(Though *cough* I do keep forgetting that TECHNICALLY, Buffy/Faith's not canon...)Your Buffy/Faith reads like canon. I think that's what I need for non-canon fic--that it works off of something well established in the canon.
Out. For. A. Walk. ... Bitch.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
(just because that whole episode was lame and should never have happened except for the sub-plot w/ the Burkles).
And don't forget "Ciao!"
The only lengthy piece of fic I ever read was Cicatrix (sp?), which rocked something fierce. Verrry dark, though.

Buffy/Giles is a HUGE squick for me. Way way way more than Batman/Robin (whichever Robin you choose).
I think it’s sexism, really. It’s kind of like the way I have no problem with Lex/Clark, but the idea of Lex/Chloe is unpleasant.
As it played out, he was more like a stepfather that just never had a Relationship with her mother, I think.
They had sex. On the hood of a police car. TWICE (sorry, just watched Earshot with a friend this weekend)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's why I capitalised the R in Relationship, Vortex.
A one night stand does not a Relationship make.
Thank God.

But Otto, what about our relationship?
Fuck that shit!
You asshole! I'm glad I tortured you!

Is that the textual equivalent of a non-verbal cue?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
It's not the age difference, but the roots of the relationship, that bothers me.
Hmm. This might be why I get squicked by Batman/Dick-Grayson-as-Robin but Batman/Tim Drake hardly bothers me at all.

Up with the sun
Buffy/Giles set anywhere during the course of the show is squicky because she's both underage and his student. Buffy/Giles in the future doesn't even make my squickometer flutter.
What Jessica said, more or less. S7 Buffy/Giles isn't squicky, exactly -- she is 21/22, and more of an authority figure than he is at that point -- but it doesn't feel quite right. After "Chosen," I feel the road is clear for both of them.
It’s kind of like the way I have no problem with Lex/Clark, but the idea of Lex/Chloe is unpleasant.
I don't read Smallville fic enough to be sure I have any idea what I'm talking about, but in theory I have no problem with Lex/Chloe unless she's explicitly made 14 or 15, or is in some way coerced. It's probably not ideal for a 17-year-old girl to date a man in his 20s, but it's waaaaay too common a situation to squick me out, and he's not an authority figure over her.
Really, the same applies to Lex/Clark.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
I was discussing man-crushes w/ some accquaintances today. I have come to the conclusion that I have man-crushes on the majority of the ME characters/actors. But especially Wes/AD. Yeah...
