Obsession, part 1/?
May. 19th, 2015 10:36 amThis is a birthday present, if I remember correctly for Niki1988. The request was season 3, Angel proposes to Willow.

( “Gee, patrolling Jurassic Park. What fun.” The branch, hanging across her path, was heavy with lush dark leaves. As she pushed it up and out of her way, Buffy wished she hadn't been drawn back to Angel's mansion. It wasn't like a bunch of demons would be skulking in its gardens. Okay, Spike, Drusilla, and Angel. Angelus that is. Angelus had set up home in the mansion but … But nothing. There was nothing here for her anymore and the sooner she figured that out, the better it'd be. She didn't need to be here. She should stick to cemeteries. )

Summary: Giles is sixty but his aunts can only see the twelve year old he appears to be.
Rating: PG
Characters: Rupert Giles, Faith, Lavinia (Vin) Fairweather, Sophronia (Sophie) Fairweather
Disclaimer: They aren’t mine, not yet, but they will be … once I’ve conquered the world. Bwah-ha-ha!
Note: In the comics Giles is killed and then brought back in the body of his twelve year old self. This plays with that idea but is AU.
Note: This is sequelish to a story I’m writing for Summer of Giles which will be posted on the 29th.
Note: I haven’t read the comics so I’m completely winging the aunts.
Note: Written for a prompt at Taming the Muse: capsize
( Giles, standing in Faith and Angel’s flat as Faith, ignoring him stared, out the window, felt as if he were poised between the past and the future. The week at his mother’s home had quite a bit to do with that. Resting there, helping Mum weed the garden, rediscovering the simple pleasure of a cup of hot cocoa, these had all restored an equilibrium he hadn’t realized he’d lost. He was going to need it. Buffy didn’t know he was alive. Buffy didn’t know he was twelve. )

Rating: PG
Characters: Willow, Tara
Disclaimer: They aren’t mine, not yet, but they will be … once I’ve conquered the world. Bwah-ha-ha!
Note: And I totally wasn't thinking of wish = bad when I wrote this
“Willow. Hi.”
Willow raised her eyes from the ground. “Tara.” She tried a smile. It felt sort of wobbly.
“You … you look upset.”
“Upset? No, I’m not upset. I was, um, just sort of sitting here, alone, by myself.”
Tara joined her on the bench and reached a hand out but drew it back before she touched Willow. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. Really.” Willow looked over to see if Tara was buying it. Tara looked very earnest. Nope, she wasn’t fooled. “It’s just … it’s sort of my birthday and Buffy seems to have forgotten and Xander hasn’t been around much lately, and maybe … maybe I’m just being silly.”
“Birthday, huh.” Rising, Tara took Willow by the hand. “Come with me.”
“But … where are we going?”
Not letting go of Willow’s hand, Tara turned and placed one finger over her mouth. “Hush. It’s a surprise.”
In her dorm room, Tara closed the curtains but left the lights off. “Close your eyes.”
“Close my eyes? But why …”
“Close. Your. Eyes.”
Willow heard drawers being opened and shut and the sound of a match being struck.
“Okay, open them.”
Tara’s arms were stretched out towards Willow. Cupped in her hands, as if it was a precious offering, sat a muffin with one birthday candle rising from the center. “I’m sorry it’s not a cake.”
“No, no. It’s perfect.”
Tara was grinning that grin that made her look like a mischievous sprite. “It’s a magical spell Make a wish. Blow out the candle.”
Willow blew out the candle but didn’t need to make a wish. Everything she wanted was standing before her.

Buffy had thrown her little hissy fit in a coat that looked like it had come out of the Queen Mum's closet, as if the miss goody-two-shoes act could change anything. Not that there was anything to change, or nothing important anyway. What was one more missing person case in Sunnydale?
After Buffy had taken her royal pain-in-the-ass out of there, Faith had wiped her hands on her pants.
A minute later she'd grabbed a towel out of the bathroom. She wiped her hands dry three times in less than ten minutes and they still felt wet. When she found herself going for the towel a fourth time, Faith threw it at the bed and grabbed her coat in passing as she fled through the door. The towel, stark red against the covers, had looked too much like fresh blood pooling.

Faith stared at the corpses, waiting for just one of them to start moving again, wondering if she could get away with decking a human, when he chose to speak. “It's a shame Ripper wasn't here. Ripper always adored the classics.”
Aidan was between them before Faith could hit Ethan. “You hadn't heard?” Faith gave Aidan a sharp look. He was speaking gently to this asshole?
Ethan raised an arm against the sunlight. “No.”
“Rupert Giles is dead.”
Ethan looked as pale as the zombies had the night before. Maybe she didn't need to punch him.

It should have been five-by-five: fighting, fucking, and nothing could touch her. Nobody had told her the demons would fight back, but she was okay with that. It made winning all the sweeter. And nobody had told her she wasn't the only Slayer, but she could deal with that too. If she wasn't the first, she could be the baddest.
But nobody had told her she'd get her Watcher killed.
Nobody had told her the jostling of the train would feel so much like being back in the swamp, her foot caught on who the hell knew what, drowning as the gators gathered 'round.

Summary: As she pinned the comb in her hair, whiteness snaked out from the comb, bleaching her hair. She screamed, arching forward as she fell into the sea. Twisting under the waves, she writhed under the water, as if scrabbling for escape. Her hand reached upward but was unable to break through the surface. With a final grimace, she relaxed into the sea's cold embrace. As her feet touched down to the bottom, white locks drifted in the current. The moon drifted across the horizon and was close to setting before she moved again. Her eyes opened and looked up from below the sea.
Notes: Many thanks to my most awesome betas: deird1, for making sure Wesley and Aidan didn't do anything totally unBritish and shakensilence who asked a simple question which made me think through story elements I hadn't gotten to yet. Sadly diebirchen has been having computer problems so no grammar check on this one; hopefully her computer will be better soon. *crosses fingers*
