(Of course, this narrative arc requires that I throw her over for not being cool enough, whereupon she will date a really cool college guy (metaphorically representing.. winning an emmy? what?) and I will have to do something in front of the entire school/internets to win her back.)
No, no. Obviously, the fannish translation for this arc will be that, after you throw her over - because you want a cooler fandom, natch - a writer you love will come in and write the Story! Of! Your! Dreams!, and after you see her in the hands of that writer, you'll realize all over again that you love her. Maybe you're even falling in love with her.
But now, now you're 15 eps behind - because you couldn't bring yourself to watch her, of course, after you threw her over, because you were telling yourself you were better than that - and you'll have to spend all night in one long marathon viewing session to prove your love. And while you're doing that, you'll have to post a bunch of really incoherent as-it-happens updates to your LJ. And also you'll be drinking some wine, so they really will be incoherent, but they will show your adorable, loving heart to all the world.
And then you'll fall asleep re-reading a story, and when you wake up in the morning, you'll roll over, and she'll still be there. And you finish the story, and god. God. She really is beautiful, clunky glasses and bedhead hair and all, and she's so brilliant and so much fun to be with. She makes you happy, just being who she is, and she never needed to change at all. How could you not see it this entire time? How could you have ever been happy without her?
And then there will be hot sex. Well, actually, you'll read some porn. But it will be hot, that I promise you.
That is how the story goes.
