Mice Templar is a bit darker--I described it upthread as a cross between Excalibur and The Secret of NIMH. I'm enjoying both stories. I'm going to spring for hard cover Fall 1152 of Mouse Guard.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds right up my alley. Thanks!

Well, here's my attempt at an Anya for Buffy 8.8:
Previously on Buffy Faith Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Faith: This is my flashback episode, and it's still all about Buffy.
Gigi: I'm going to kill Queen Elizabeth and RULE a world of trashy schoolgirl outfits!
Faith: Didn't we settle the "Elizabeth" thing last issue?
Giles: Faith! Faith, can you hear me? If you haven't dropped your earpiece into a glass of champagne, just listen! We're coming to--
Gimlet, son of Groin: Not with this thing we're not. No hammer time for you.
Faith: Trust me Gigi, older men are pigs.
Gigi: I had noticed.
Faith: They always do stuff like make you have important, emotional conversations while lounging around in the nude. Hand me that loofah, willya?
Buffy: Hi, Willow! What've you got on tap?
Willow: Hey, Buff-Buff. For today, I've got exposition on a background plot-thread, with a moral dilemma chaser.
Buffy:POOF
Willow:...with a side order of comical dismay.
Buffy: You better watch it, buster, or I'll vomit on your shoes again!
Roden: There's a joke here about catspaws and catfighting, but let's just jump to the action, shall we?
Gigi & Buffy: (Insert Christophe Beck action music here)
Faith(tackles): HEY! Nobody steals my fighting-Buffy music!
Buffy: Faith? Y'know, you'd look great covered in jumping-to-conclusions sauce!
Faith: I dreamed about killing you.
Buffy: Glub blub Leon gluggle blubub Noel
Captions: Do it. DO IT. DOOOOOOOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.....
Faith: SHUT UP CAPTIONS I WANT MY THOUGHT BALLOONS BACK!
Buffy: What? Wait, lets talk about this like sensible people.
Faith: ....I wish you'd disappear.
Buffy:POOF
Faith: .....
Faith: I WISH I HAD A BAZILLION GOLD PIECES!
Willow: And for dessert, a mis-timed rescue!
Buffy: After I finish horking my guts up I am so taking Giles out behind the woodshed.
Faith: I'm so tired, I could just lay down and....
Gigi: MY MASCARA YOU BITCH.
ETA:Spelling

Sorry about that.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
No problem. Fortunately, you were clear enough in the first sentence about what it was, so I managed to avoid being spoiled myself while I was whiting it out.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Astounishing: Huh. Joss actually made me like Scott. That "What else are you lying about?!?" ZZZZAP!!!! moment was made of awsome.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Frankenbuddha, wasn't it? (Awesome, I mean.) Almost as good as when, many issues back, Colossus was back and Wolverine said "I got just two words for you, buddy," and then the following 2-page spread was Wolverine launched through the air.
And Kitty makes me laugh. Or, I should say, people's reactions to Kitty.

Both, I think. Her and Emma definitely have a Willow & Cordelia thing going.
Also hilarious? "Have you looked the word "superhero" up? Like, Googled it or something?" and "Records indicate you might not mind a little discomfort in his case."

Totally. Though my biggest snerk moment was when Scott said, about Kitty, "I'd better go before Kitty tries to act again." Too funny. t edit And Colossus saying (thinking) "Is not courtroom drama, Katya." ::snerk::
