Love rues dancing on top of stool for us (9)
I believe the answer is:
ourselves
'us' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'love rues dancing on top of stool' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates an anagram.
'on top of' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'stool' is 's'.
'love'+'rues'='loverues'
'loverues' with letters rearranged gives 'ourselve'.
'ourselve'+'s'='OURSELVES'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for ourselves that I've seen before include "We or us personally" , "Emphatically us" , "See 16" , "Us, reflexively" .)
