Love's Only Hate and Hate's Only Love

by Meghan

(Yes the title of the subject and the title of the story is meant to read the way they do. Misleading, and yet not really.)

Disclaimer: No really... despite what you all think... I don't own them.
Distribution: Anyone who already has my series can take this, otherwise email me and ask.
Email: meghanreviews@hotmail.com
Rating: Its rhyming and only dialogue so umm let me think End of Days equates to about umm PG-13?
Pairing: Its all on BA lore but the those in the story are Buffy and Angelus.
Spoilers: End of Days but not season 7/4 or really any season its pretty much AU.
Feedback is much appreciated.
AN: Wrote this cause I was well watching L.D.'s acting in Romeo and Juliet and during the commericals the BA rebel in me starting sprouting out lines as I acted out the scene you are about to read. So take care and tred on soft quiet feet. Excpect me now to go back and write my series, but because this was in my head I had to divert my energy elsewhere for the moment. So back I go to my Until Forever Series.
Hint on who's saying what: It starts with Buffy speaking and ends with them both saying the last line.


"You see sir I fear you next to none, except maybe for the clarity given from the bitter sweet rise of the sun. My beloved enemy, for you see the stars all look down upon the night… is nothing, not true sight, but light even given by the moon… oh my foe you no longer have to wait… for the end is coming soon."

"The classic tale of Romeo and Juliet? Is but a front for fate. It is much to late, their deaths may end in a sour glory, but is not the end of their cringing story. They are eternal, their myth and their epic… their joy is their sorrow."

"My only love sprung from my only hate. My only hate sprung from my only love. The tale can go both ways and the stars are the ones that tell the tale. They see the end before it draws nigh, watching high from up inside the sky."

"Two lovers meet, and tragedy plays a foot. Oh but now two warriors meet and the end will tell the victor who has really won. Slayer or vampire… or both if she be sired."

"Sired? Truly you jest, my dear beloved Angelus. Your lies are coated in sweeten dire threats, shall we make a bet?"

"A bet is not needed or wanted Ma Cherie, for love does not rule this hate sprung woe. Blood shall run, and it will bleed from the sun. Death to its warrior of the day… tonight fate does not have a say."

"Oh really? You think that? Then maybe you shall be right… oh but forgive me for this slight… it'll not be the sun that bleeds its tears of grief but the shadows who will shudder… not a heartbeat will flutter as it warrior turns to dust."

"Then strike out Slayer. Take first blood, and watch the dirt turn to deep crimson mud."

"Well, well, well… look who's being cocky. We are of equal strength, and yet here we are bickering at the edge of all destruction…"

"With you awaiting his resurrection."

"I think be both know he is not coming back… in fact I fear your fear of his return. It causes hope to stir that you'd be worried, but I am in no hurry, the sun is not my cause of decay."

"I am not worried, merely angered at your attempts to try to avert our second and final meeting."

"Well here I am, and lover… never doubt my desire to come and kill you… let your doubt be like the wind- fleeting."

"Am I such a monster?"

"Oh yes, so let's end this bitter test of wit and wills and begin finalizing true love's end. Raise up your sword and defend the night… the End of all Ends is here on this shallow hollow night."

"My Slayer, look at the way our feet begin to trend… yes tonight will be the end of the end."

"So let it begin, the fight that has been predicted and will again be written about and learned for the centuries yet to come."

"Oh how ironic that this play is hate's only love and love's only hate."

"That's where you are wrong… its love's only hate and hate's only love."

"When darkness reigns we'll talk the trivial details out…"

"In your dreams."

"So it seems."

" " Goodbye Lover. " "

And all is silent but the clashing of swords.

The End
