Attention world!

J. K. Rowling has officially signed a deal to publish her next novel!!!

Which just goes to show that the Mayans are wrong and the world is not going to end in 2012 after all, because the world would not dare to end while waiting on a new Rowling book.

It will also be an adult book, which means very little to me since, you know, people of ALL AGES read Harry.

Why do I not have a Harry icon uploaded?

      
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  Rejoice!

Post-NFA Fic Dialogue between Spike, Anya, Angel, and Cordelia

I wrote this last night after rewatching "You're Welcome" and having all sorts of Cangel feelings (as well as “WHY DO YOU HATE HAPPINESS, JOSS WHEDON?!? Feelings).  In my post-NFA verse, I resurrect Cordelia and Anya, and when the Fang Gang has regrouped at the Hyperion with the Scoobies (who came to save the day after Buffy had a prophetic slayer dream about Angel’s suicidal plan), I imagine a conversation like this taking place:

Spike: For God’s sake, stop moping about Harris and just go find him.

Anya: I am not moping about Xander!  I don’t love him, and I’m not going to him, and you’re not one to talk anyway, you- you kettle!  You go find Buffy!

Spike: I’m not finding Buffy!  She said she doesn’t want anything to do with me.  If she changes her mind, she can find me!

Anya: She only said that because her feelings are hurt because you didn’t contact her because you’re a moron!

Spike: You- just- shut up, pot.

Anya: Gah!  (moans)  This isn’t fair.  I’m alive again.  I’m supposed to be happy.

Spike: (snorts)  Get used to it.  The only happy people here are-

Anya: Angel and Cordelia.

Brief silence.  They exchange looks.

Cut to Angel’s door and Spike hammering on it.  Angel opens it, very irritated.

Angel: What do you want?

Spike: Oh good, you’re dressed.

Watching "You're Welcome" was very bittersweet for obvious reasons, and it was interesting because I've never rewatched the episode in its entirety since the first time I saw it; I usually just rewatch a few of the key Cangel scenes.  Seeing the relationship in context again, I'm utterly bewildered by the fact that some people claim Angel didn't love Cordelia.  It actually perplexes me.  The only way this episode could be more explicit about their feelings for each other would be if they actually said those three little words.  And those words aren't even necessary; they would just be icing on the cake (and possibly the too-sugary kind at that).  The way they look at each other and talk to each other and help each other is so beautiful that it makes me sad to think that people actually scoff at their love.  I can understand refusing to acknowledge the love between Buffy and Spike in S7 after what happened in S6, even if I think it's irrational, but I can't understand people who say Angel never loved Cordelia.  :(
