there is a cute little Daria/Trent get together fic on ff.net called Welcome to the Dollhouse. I read it, and just had to go, "Awwwwww." It was just that sweet.

I know I've heard of this fic, but I'm not sure if I'd read it...I'll haveta check it out :)

didn't Tom just seem like they were running out of ideas

Yes. I kinda hated that they felt the need to give her a boyfriend at all, truth be told. Not saying she didn't deserve one, but it's like they picked the worst possible candidate o.O
