I just can't imagine my response to a story, whether it be one I like or loath, being 'I am against this pairing'.
I can understand my response to a set of headers being "I am against" etc, but then I don't read it. I'm always amazed when this is hard for people who are not me.
So-o-o . . . you mention this fic . . . but have we, your adoring Buffistas, seen this fic? Is this a fic we've seen? Are you holding out on us, Miss Fay?

Because in their land of crazy, if they are against this pairing, then nothing with that pairing should be written. Ever.
Land. Of. Crazy.
I would never drink pumpkin juice, but I don't like pumpkin.
I think you've seen it? I had a thing where I was rattling off dialogue-only fic (SUCH fun) for various cliches, and this one was about the 'got to have sex/semen to make a spell work' cliche. To be fair, I didn't mention the pairing in the headers, but that's because it's pretty much a joke. It's not some grand romance. It's a cheap gag. Not liking the pairing, when said pairing could as easily have been with Filch, Ginny, Luna or Dumbledore...kinda missing the point.

No, I had not seen that! Fiend for keeping it from me! Snerk!
"Oh, knickers."
I sometimes drink the remainders of the batter from my pumpkin souffle, which is very delicious, but not a juice.
The idea of drinking pumpkin juice makes me gag.
I drink pumpkin beer... that's like juice, right?
Pumpkin juice? Sounds kind of revolting. Although I love pumpkin pie, and I make a mean pumpkin bread. Shipped it to Cambridge, once, where it was well-received.
