It's not fair to judge a story by its title. You judge a story by its pairing and author of course.

(Please tell me you get the sarcasm. It is not good sarcasm, but I have cramps, so honestly, considering I spent part of last night in a fetal ball with motrin that had the strength of M&Ms, really. You are going to have to work with me here.)

However.

If a title contains any combination of the following words, I'm wary:

Innocence
Sunny
Loss of
Dawn (sometimes combined with fire) (seriously. what's up with that?)
Love

Now, sure, there's a fantastic epic Dawnfire Innocence Loss of Sunny Love out there somewhere; I'm just saying, wary.

It's like lube; sure, someone out there made the spit and blood routine work a-okay. Does not mean it will always work and not make your audience reject sex for a few years of traumatic flashbacks, y'know?

Going to nurse my girlpain now.

I think you should merge the two and make it a challenge: the title has to include the following:

innocence blood sunny lube loss of spit dawn love

Hmm, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of Harry Potter fics that already have that. *g* (I say that as an HP fan, people! Don't hurt me!)

I know

*evil cackle of glee*

But LA LA LA I don't hear it even though I said it myself, because I am so *disciplined*, *koff* and my calendar is full with PANIC writing of my Big Bang fic. PANIC WRITING is not a happy thing!

Why is it that I read that combination of words and I picture BTVS's Dawn being sacrificed as the climax of an orgy by the rest of the characters?

...I may still have resentment issues about the character.

I went there, too, but it really strikes me more as a story set in Angel's series.

Title would be too long. But a drabble is easy. (100 words exactly, of course)

"Oh, God. Did the cast from Age of Innocence stumble through a Gate into Pegasus? When it’s barely after dawn and only two cups of coffee for me.”

“Loss of infrastructure after the last culling, I think. They dress pretty nicely, considering. What, too little caffeine in your blood?

“Ha-hah. You don’t understand my love for coffee, purer than –“

“What? Spit it out.”

“What you felt for all these space hussies.”

“Aw, Rodney. If it weren’t morning but noon-time, you’d still complain that it’s too sunny, or something. We can lube you up with coffee when we get back.”

Would it be a story written by me otherwise? *eg*

And thank you!

You win a prize. (Unfortunately, the prize is in a bank in Nigeria. But if you provide your bank account and pin number, it will be transferred to your account.)
