Happy Birthdays!

To two people I've known a long time and like very much: missmurchison and speakr2customrs. Hope you both have wonderful days ::love and hugs::

David and I go to see Serenity on Thursday. Our friends, non-Firefly fans (think they saw a few of the episodes, no more) went on Sunday and loved it which is a good sign as they wouldn't have been all that familiar with it.

While I'm on the subject, add me to the group of people feeling a little stunned by the schadenfreude of some people. Whether or not you like Firefly, whatever your annoyance with Joss, ill-wishing a movie out of a years-old pique is childish, spiteful and singularly pointless. Sure there's a huge buzz out about it and if you're not part of that it can get tiresome. So? We've all gone through that at various times. You scroll on by and wait for it to die down.

Even if I weren't very excited about the movie, I'd still be chuffed for my fellow fen that from the ashes of cancellation came a movie deal. I feel a deep, profound satisfaction that it's one in the eye for Fox for cancelling not just Firefly but so many other shows I liked. Maybe that satisfaction is akin to what you feel when you gleefully wish the movie will fail; I don't know. It feels different, but maybe it's not. Maybe I'm just as bad as you.

But then, Fox isn't on my f-list reading my digs and getting hurt, so maybe I'm not.

'Hollow Heart' Part Two by Jane Davitt and Bit Wes/Faith NC17

Here is part two of the fic, co-written with Bit. Thanks for all the feedback yesterday and for all of you who, although bothered by Giles and Buffy are trusting us! I'm not going to promise happy endings because that's not how it works but I firmly believe that people like them, who've gone through hell, have breaking points and weaknesses as much as anyone.

And what they've gone through is enough to break anyone. We never saw the smiles slip off their faces after the post-Chosen euphoria died down and the grief for what was lost kicked in. We never saw how fragile the reconciliation between Buffy and Giles was, nor how Buffy reacted to the deaths of the two men she loved.

If we had, it might not've been like this... but I think it's not unlikely and consistent with canon.
