I keep wanting to use something incorporating that girl who gave Theseus the thread that helped him find his way in and out of the Minotaur's maze (using the maze/lost theme) but that may be a tad pretentious.
Umm...Ariadne? Wasn't that her name?

That's right, Ariadne. Arachne is the other one.

Arachne was the great weaver whose pride in her weaving angered Athena, right?

Well, Arachne did get a little braggy. I think she said Athena couldn't do better, and guess who showed up for the challenge? Never involve gods in your bragging.

Thrive to spite them
Yep. I think it goes something like this: Arachne was very vain, I believe about her works and her ability as a weaver, Athena disguised herself and she and Arachne had some sort of smackdown, Arachne's arrogance angered Athena so much that she turned Arachne into a spider.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I always felt really bad for Ariadne. Theseus sucks.

How would you guys feel about an AU where Willow is able to go through with the hex on Oz and Veruca? Done to death? So three seasons ago? Cause see, if you guys would wanna read it, then it's not a timesuck.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
When done well, few things are done to death.
So sayeth she who is considering reworking some ancient Spike/Buffy stuff for general consumption.
Also, she who is using ContentAudit to make sure there isn't missing porn on her computer. (Having one of those "where IS that file" days.)

I always get a thrill out of good S/B. I just found myself wondering what would happen if Dark!Willow came out earlier.
