Source : Slayers
Characters : Filia Ul Copt, Xelloss
Fanverse : Astral Corridors
Backdrop : This exists because pastels, nonsense and these two failures. Don't question physics. Can also be called the battle for the last cup of tea. They could get more tea, but that's besides the point now.

I'm no fan of the BST interpretation (or anything along the line of spiteful lovers/whatever), but I love the idea these two might go on to be playful enemies. I don't care it's popular fanon to regress her to the first episodes. Post-TRY Filia going rage mode/trying to hit Xelloss with her mace is ooc; she got over rage mode and mace retaliation never was a thing with Xelloss anyway. So, playful enemies not like those first 6 episodes and more like that one time before everything exploded. There was this one scene where Filia tried her hand at counter-manipulation; it was an intense failure, but it did show she can deal with Xelloss minus rage, plus brains now. That's what I'm going with, so she's having genuine fun now. Tongue sticking out has become her counteract to the finger. As for Xelloss, I think by the end he figured out she's never going to respect him as a serious threat no matter what he does, and accepted that. Filia still loses almost always, off course, but there's a somewhat better balance of retained dignity now.
