nnyI'm reading a fic on someone's journal right now, and it's got a header with Jack/Ennis, and the text says a love that will/never grow old. And I'm like... heh, you may be right, but it will grow a poorly judged mustache...
I dunno. Where do you stand on Happily Ever Afters? What's your ultimate one? Argument's sake, the greatest love story ever told is Romeo and Juliet, even though I hate hate hate that designation, purely because there was never time for the bloom to fade from the rose, as the clichés'd have it.
Me? I like Happily Ever Afters, so long as there's snarking. I'm a romantic of a queer sort. I like happy endings where no one admits that there're feelings involved, where there is much huffing and talk of putting up with each other, where people gravitate towards each other even if only so they can bitch. I like equality and co-dependence, I like a little uncertainty on both sides, I like bull-dozing with a layer of trepidation carefully hidden.
(Mostly, at the moment, I like John/Rodney. *grins* Also? Red wine.)
How 'bout you?

Date: 2007-02-10 09:31 pm (UTC)Okay, no. I believe in True Love, which is very different.
I don't believe in Happily Ever After, because then there wouldn't really be any interaction and growth and learning about each other. Just happy.
But True Love? That is just SO much with the believing. Love and partnership and mutual support and getting through the bad times together and everything ...
(Mostly, at the moment, I believe in the True Love of Azi & Crowley. And I'm drinking white.) %]
