Yeah, I usually am right with you on the marriage squick, but in this case, I can do any way with those guys, just out of the sheer love. But yeah, Ed and Greg are characters where I'd enjoy and having plenty of patience for smarm and/or basic friendship stories.

I also adore Wordy and Donna. I would love to read about really good, really functional platonic m-f friendships. I'd had hopes of that with Jules, but they already kind of messed that up in canon.

Anyway, again, I have an unholy love of Spike and a strong curiosity to know more about Lewis, so I had a blast with this story.
