Elsie fanfic in which her father dies a painful death.
Oh, yes. Elsie suffers a psychotic break, where she believes herself to be Jael and her father to be Sisera. "Have a nice glass of milk, Father dear."

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I wish when I dreamed about working out that I could burn the calories... On the other hand, sometimes I dream about my teeth falling out.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I, for one, am enjoying the Hil take on these books. I don't have to read them and they are just so awful in a hilarious way.

Well, Elsie just convinced a dying slave to believe in Jesus. The woman was reluctant, because,
"You don't mean _dat_, Miss Elsie! You don't mean dat God will save poor ole Dinah, an' gib her hebben, an' all for nuffin?" she inquired, raising herself on her elbow in her eagerness.

The baby was so adorable today, and his silly parents think I'm doing them a favor. Want one!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
