"Well now, my dear, didn't you once say that a life without danger is a life not worth living?"
Moist patted her hand and said, "Well, Spike, I married you, didn't I?"
"You couldn't resist, could you? It's like a drug. You're not happy unless someone is trying to kill you, or you're in the center of some other kind of drama, out of which, of course, the famous Moist von Lipwig will jump to safety at the very last moment. Is it a disease? Some kind of syndrome?"
Moist put on his meek face as only husbands and puppies can do and said, "Would you like me to stop? I will if you say so."
There was silence until Adora Belle said, "You bastard, you know I can't do that. If you stopped all of that you wouldn't be Moist von Lipwig!"

Snooped Magazine
You might remember Angel having a stint on the gossip magazines when he was protecting Rebecca Lowell. I wrote a fic, Being Known, that included it for @iwillrememberyoumarathon and thought I'd share it here too.
Summary of Being Known: Buffy sees Angel on the cover of Snooped and a late night phonecall ensues. Set during the summer between S4 & S5 of Buffy and S1 & S2 of Angel.
The light-hearted banter slipped away, replaced by a charged sense of anticipation. There was a line, an intimacy, they were quickly approaching that they both knew led to danger. They had rules for these conversations, understood but never spoken, and he had just broken one - never reference the past.

And look, I got a cool toy surprises!

Just realized I’ve written two back-to-back fanfics where the protagonist remembers the very specific way their ex likes their coffee or tea. Almost like it’s my own fantasy for my own life or something crazy

being known
I have the immesurable need to be known
not perceived
but so deeply known
that my soul gets to go home in your eyes.
Don't read my thoughts but imbed them in your heart
for your heart now knows my brain
for my thoughts are where my soul lays to rest.
Let me tell you my past so that we may dream of a future
together.

Moist finished his coffee with a look on his face that those who knew him well--a group consisting, in fact, of absolutely nobody--would have recognized as the formation of a plan.

Being known is being loved
"I know your pizza order" "you have freckles on your ears" "you make this face when you're tired" "you order green tea on a good day black on a bad day"
"you always make that face before you try something" "the tips of your ears turn red when you're angry" "I knew you'd say something" "you must be exhausted to miss the class"
"your favorite pie is pumpkin, right?" "I know your phone number, don't worry" "you miss me, I can tell" "you fiddle with your pens when you're bored"
"you don't like converse unless they're high tops" "your favorite cereal is cinnamon toast crunch and you first ate it when you were 8"
Being known is being loved.
