Caught in a Bad Romance....a meta of Buffy's Romantic Relationships

[Because I'm feeling a bit crazy today and trying to distract myself from other things... here's a rough meta on stuff that was rolling about my brain today and yesterday.]

After finishing Darkapple's Imitation of A Man this morning...I realized something about the difference in fanfic, many vampire gothic romance novels, and the Whedon Television Series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

It can be summed up rather nicely in the following lyrics from a Lady Gaga number entitled Bad Romance

I want your ugly, I want your disease, I want your everything, so long as it's free, I want your love, love, love, love, I want your love, I want your drama, the touch of your hand, I want your leather studded kiss in the sand, I want your love, love love love, I want your love, you know that I you, and you know that I need you, I want it bad, a bad romance, I want your love and, I want your revenge, you and me could write a bad romance, I want your love, and all your lover's revenge, you and me could write a bad romance, oh oh oh, caught in a bad romance
