t sniff I'm just so touched that you guys want to go around killing people for my sake. I feel truly blessed.
JZ, where might one go about finding this folktale?? I've never heard of it before, but clearly I must read it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Kate, I found it in a copy of Household Tales by the Brothers Grimm illustrated by Mervyn Peake, a totally random assortment of Grimm tales selected by Peake purely on the basis of which stories made him want to draw something.
Speaking of which, that reminds me to go change my tagline.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
JZ, did you get a chance to ask your mom about the airbed?

Huh. That sounds like something I absolutely must own.

From the latest postsecret collection, next to a glitter-added postcard of two people dancing.
(verso) "My mother liked to dance. My sisters and I took her ashes and spread them on our dad's grave. They don't know that I saved some ashes and mixed them with 'glitter' and keep them on my shelf. Mom would be happy about that."

Perkins, yes, and I'm very sorry, but she says she's hanging onto it. Which is the wrong answer for a bunch of reasons in addition to disappointing you, but whatever.

They have a bunch of them on Overstock.com, Lee. Might be cheaper than a regular store.

Still would cut down on the prospects for the already unlucky.
I'm not sure I understand the connection. If we're only killing or harming those who have already dumped Buffistae, where's the problem? How does that cut down on anybody's prospects?

We couldn't let the word get out that dating a Buffista might be fatal. Perhaps the deaths could come years later, in seemingly random ways.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No shit. If you told me I had to date for life/until I was dumped -- or risk death/beatings.
Well, okay, I'd take the challenge, but that's not exactly a recommendation, is it?
