Not a scandal rag, but very conservative and full of the sort of Scottish kitsch that Tom Leonard once summed up as "the Snottery Weans Competition." I could be misremembering which paper this was, but that's what I think of.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I feel silly making this request, but does anyone know of any good Buffy/C.S.I. crossovers?

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Oh-- an explanation for the practice of Adjective!Character. Towards the bottom. References the ways when email addresses had bangs in them.
Also, can I just say, it drives me personally bugfuck when people put it behind just any adjective modifying any word? If your template is Vamp!Willow, Pissy!Buffy, Puffy!Xander, LeatherPants!Angel, x!y, then x specifically refers to a kind of y, or state of being for y. Thus, Competent!Spike works. Willow!girlfriend, as someone on the Buffy thread the other day said was a possibility for Kennedy, does not! If anything, it makes it sound as though there were a kind of creature called a girlfriend, and this is when Willow is one. I mean, I could be crazy and be seeing a really narrow definition from the context of where I learned it, but it's only recently that I've been seeing these false!bangs and they're driving me crazy. I had to really reason myself around to accepting "wee!lizard" by saying, well, it's not as though she's a form of me!-- well, if you think of Lizardness as being a sort of defined entity, and I as Rebecca!Lizard, and my mother as Mother!Lizard, as though we were all facets of the same being, then my sister could be Wee!Lizard. Although still sort of diminishing, 'cause, I'm not the same person as my mother, or my sister.
