What's in a Name?

In this world there are two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. The last is much the worst. – Oscar Wilde

Part I is here.

What's in a Name

When I signed up for this round, I had an idea for this comm that I abandoned (temporarily) because I was intrigued by the theme of fairy tales. "The Beauty and the Beast" came to mind first, but I know that's been done already. In fact, after a moment I remembered I'd done it myself! I've been busy with work and haven't read all the posts this round, so I don't know if anyone else settled on the same tale I did.

Notes: This is set in a fluffy, silly Season Six similar to the one from my last seasonal_spuffy fic, although no familiarity with the previous fic is needed to understand this one. Everyone is sort of happy and sort of gets along, with enough exceptions to the general cheer and goodwill to keep things interesting. The main difference from the last story is that Buffy has admitted her relationship with Spike to her friends, but not to her innocent little sister.
