This meme is hard. I think the things of yours (or whoever's) that really stick with me, the images and lines that shape the way I view the characters, aren't necessarily the things that come to mind when I ask, "What do I remember about Lauren's fic?" They're things I've integrated into my thinking so much that I don't always think of them to connection to you, anymore. If any others come to mind, I'll let you know.
And now that I've said that, I can think of a couple more: * The line in III about how Spike and Buffy have agreed not hit each other anymore, even though they're superpowered and they could without permanent damage.
* Buffy's line (in Basiare? in that unfinished babyfic I keep referencing?) that she has trouble saying important things because "I feel like the words are too big to fit in my mouth." Both the phrasing and the sentiment have really stuck with me.
* I've said this before, but: the line in Basiare about Buffy's mission to Cleveland really just being an excuse to hang out with Faith. Because the thought of them hanging out and being BFF just makes me so happy.
* Life in the Present Tense, about Spike's soul/past weighing more heavily than anyone realizes, and the image of him falling to the ground in some alleyway, grieving over something he remembers happening there.
* Life in the Present Tense, that first section where Dawn goes into Buffy's bedroom, plops between her and Spike, and says, "Time to pay attention to me now."
