1. Chapter 1 by Bojangles [Reviews - 4] 
(5419 words)
Okay, so this will probably be about 5 or so chapters long. It's not one I'm going to drag out. It's loosely based on the book Something Borrowed (not the film, which sucked). I just loved the book and after watching the crappy movie version last night, I felt the urge to redo this Spuffy style. It's loosely based on it, so while there are some similar scenes and some similar lines of dialogue, it's not a scene for scene thing. I've condensed a lot of the plot. Yeah, so like I said, probably about 5 or so chapters long. I'll be posting hopefully a chapter a week til it's finished.
Also, this is my first ever AH fic. Yay! It's also my first foray into real sexual conduct by characters, so don't be making fun y'all. That would just be mean. Also, I know as much about New York as George Bush knows about foreign politics. Translation: fuck all. So I just picked two areas at random for the destination. If they're not residential areas or even if they don't exist, I don't really care lol.
So anyway, hope you all enjoy. Don't be afraid to drop a review, even if it's only a couple of words. Just to know people like it is enough :)
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Joss and ME own the characters, it's loosely based on the book by Emily Griffin and I'm not profiting in any way from this.
The gorgeous banner is made by the gloriously talented and lovely xoChantelly! Let's all take a moment to appreciate how beautiful it is *happy dance, I have a gorgeous banner*
2. Chapter 2 by Bojangles [Reviews - 2] (3583 words)
I have been writing all weekend on this story (my boyfriend's not best pleased lol) but when inspiration strikes, you gotta listen right? So yeah, anyway, I was planning on storing up the chapters I'd already written and posting them over the course of the week but then I thought, fuck it lol. So I'm posting all the chapters I have already written. It's not done yet, I still have a couple to write but it's basically on its way to being done. I'm thinking it might be a couple more than my original estimate of 5 (considering I'm posting up to chapter 5 right now and it still ain't done lol) but only a couple more, probably 7. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this cause it was surprisingly easy to write for me.
This chapter was actually the hardest for me to write and it's the one I'm most nervous about - their individual reasonings for what happens - but eh, I've reworked it as much as I can and it's not getting any better. So anyway, I hope you enjoy and don't be afraid to drop a wee review on me :)
3. Chapter 3 by Bojangles [Reviews - 3] (3058 words)
Just an FYI: I don't have a beta, so if anyone sees any mistakes that my tired eyes haven't picked up, don't be afraid to let me know. I'd appreciate it :)
Here's number 3 ...

Number 4 ...
5. Chapter 5 by Bojangles [Reviews - 4] (3725 words)
The last update tonight. Like I said, I'm thinking probably another 3 or so chapters. I hope you enjoy :)
6. Chapter 6 by Bojangles [Reviews - 1] (3543 words)
Probably only another chapter then the epilogue to go. Hope you enjoy :)
7. Chapter 7 by Bojangles [Reviews - 1] (3927 words)
Okay, so here's the last chapter - though there's still an epilogue to come. I don't know why I'm not counting that as a chapter, when it is in fact a separate chapter, but those are the rules that my brain has set out and gosh darnit, I have to follow them!
Ahem. Anyway. This last one is hopefully a reward for all the ooky (but yummy) angst we've suffered through. A healthy dose of fluff. But not too fluffy, I hope. I'm always very concerned about the levels of fluffiness. Imagine this chapter is a jumper (or sweater, to you crazy Americans). What I aim to have done is put it in the dryer on an hour and a half long cycle, but I've taken it out only 45 minutes into it. See? It's still warm and nice and fluffy but you don't have to worry about your dryer (or your lungs) being clogged full of jumper oose. Am I making sense? Are you even still reading this author's note? Well fine. Screw you. Hope you enjoy the chapter *grumblegrumble*
8. Epilogue by Bojangles [Reviews - 10] (2084 words)
Well, this is it. I can't believe how quickly this story poured out of me. I started it on Saturday morning and here I am posting the epilogue on Wednesday. Huh. I've never written this fast before and I don't know if I will again. But I love this little story. I think it's my favorite of the ones I've written.
Thanks to everyone who's read it and reviewed it and those who will in the future. I really loved writing this one and I hope you liked reading it. On to the epilogue ...
