The Vampire Voyeur (Chapter Four)

Apparently, the whole, "Will, you have no personality," thing was noticed, so he gave himself some sort of high-concentrate personality enema or something. There was a lot of personality from Will.

One question, though: why is everyone in the competition, like, twelve? I'm not even thirty, I shouldn't feel old watching a TV show about dancing.

I fell asleep on the couch last night fairly early in the evening.

*winces*

So for those of you waiting for the last part to Last Train Leaving Wonderland, I apologize.

I'll post it tonight.

Sorry for the delay.

After the detective finishes questioning her, he says Dawn can go, but she clings to her mom.

We could have died, but we didn't.

Maybe that's sinking in with Buffy, too, because she seems kinda weird. Jittery and ... well, weird. She pulls away from Mom's hug, and Dawn's too.

Mom, on the other hand, is right back to being Mom. She wonders what drove Faith to be so mean and crazy. "I think she's horribly unhappy."

"I hope she is," Dawn mutters.

"Shh," Mom says. "No good comes of wishing harm on people -- even hurtful people."

Buffy rolls her eyes.

***

Just like that, Buffy announces she's taking a bath. She doesn't even ask if Dawn has to pee after all that time being tied up (not that she does -- but what if she did?). She acts like an only child -- no, like she's queen of the whole world.

"I'm sure she's just reacting to the all the adrenaline," Mom says when Dawn makes this point. "Are you desperate? I have an old coffee can in the basement."

"No. Ew. That's not even the point."

"That's what I love about my girls. There's no trauma they can't bounce right back from."

***

Then Buffy says she's going to the dorm, but she looks like she's going to the Bronze. In fact, she looks like it's Slut Night at the Bronze.

Whatever. Dawn's so over it. She's glad to have Mom to herself tonight. Even though it's late, Mom makes cocoa and they watch a movie.

She's still awake when Mr. Giles calls to tell Mom not to let Buffy in the house. She's really Faith, and Faith is Buffy.

"But they took Faith. Buffy."

Mr. Giles says she's safe with him.

"I knew it," Dawn tells Mom. "I knew it wasn't her."

When Atlas Shrugs

Here's another piece of the silly Buffy/Bruce ficlet-thing. Warning: this is very silly! The first part is here.

By popular demand, I'll definitely be continuing this. :) I'm having fun writing it. But it's totally casual and free-form, so if you see any mistakes of any kind, please point them out and I'll make changes! Also, if there's anything you want to see in future parts, let me know and I'll see what I can do with them.

( More Buffy Summers/Bruce Wayne, 723 words, no substantial TDK spoilers but one tiny thing that you won't even realize is a spoiler if you haven't seen the movie yet, I promise )

Hey y'all! I'm Crystal and I just joined this community. I recently dove into fanfic, but have only written a couple of drabbles so far, with the first one being a Faith one! I hope y'all enjoy-It's my first ever, so please go easy on me :-)


Title: Finally Somebody
Rating: PG-13 for mention of some adult concepts
Pairings/Characters: Faith
Summary: Faith's thoughts just before the beginning of her arc in the season 8 comics.


 

Because of Dr. Horrible, I have now watched the first six episodes of the first season of How I Met Your Mother

Three random thoughts.

1. They still make television shows with a laugh track? I can't count the number of ways that sucks.

2. Aside from NPH's character (who so far is the best part of an otherwise dismal show), the show feels like it was written in 1988, with the same jokes. I'm not really impressed.

3. On the other hand, I'm glad that the millions of white people who made up 99.9% of the population of New York City in Friends found someplace to go when that show ended. I'm also glad that in White-People-NYC apartments are still gigantic and apparently cheap.

This show is quickly joining my list of overrated television shows.

Dawn chokes on the gag and her tears as she waits for her mom to wake up. What if she doesn't? What if Faith hit her too hard and she dies? She's killed people by accident before. According to Buffy, Mr. Giles said that happens sometimes with slayers.

What if she doesn't die, but she's just in a coma forever, like Faith?

Dawn wishes Faith had died. She's a horrible person. She's killed people -- she hurt Xander, tried to kill him. There's some big secret around it, but Dawn knows that much.

Mom moans softly and her eyes flutter open.

***

Dawn watches as Mom figures out the situation, sees the flash of fear when she realizes Faith has Dawn too. It's quickly replaced by determination -- the expression that makes Buffy say, "Look out, world. Mama Bear is here."

Faith turns from the dresser drawer she's been ransacking. "Look who's joined the party." She puts Mom's lipstick on her disgusting mouth and asks her opinion.

Mom's chin rises as she spits out an angry answer. Her fierceness gives Dawn a thrill of pride yet terrifies her at the same time.

Faith starts in on Buffy, how she's left them all behind.

***

She says the meanest things. About how Mom squirted out her kids and now that Buffy's in college she doesn't need her or care -- and *gross*, that is an image Dawn will never ever scrub out of her mind.

Mom is tough and smart- mouthed -- it's like she's the hero in some action movie, snarking away when the villain is making threats. Part of her admires Mom's bravery, but the other part knows this isn't a movie. They really could die.

Faith is just pointing this out --again -- when Buffy crashes in through the window.

Just like in the movies.
