Reads Randomly

Title: Getting On With It
Show: BtVS
Category: Post-Series
Rating: PG
Pairings: B/G
Notes: I've had this plot bunny for a while, but this week's theme of "Getting On" over at giles_shorts  proved to be a rich soil to let it grow.


( Willow's on a mission... )

And here are the rest of my drabbles for giles_shorts. The only question remains is if I will ever be able to write a BtVS drabbles that includes someone other than Giles or Buffy!


( A Moment During The Scooby Reunion )

These next two are linked.

( Go Where You Are Needed )

( Stay Where You Belong )

In honor of the 20th anniversary of "Welcome to the Hellmouth"/"The Harvest" and for the Last Line/First line drabble challenge over at giles_shorts. Yes, the parallelism was deliberate.


( One Day Later )


( Twenty Years Later )

More drabbles for the Shakespeare theme over at giles_shorts. I had fun with these.

( The Eyes Have It )

( The Third Time isn’t the Charm )

Some more drabbles for giles_shorts. While these two drabbles can be read seperately, I prefer to think of them as set in the same post-series future.

( Keep It To Yourself )


( Underneath It All )

You guys all know how much I like drabbles. Here are three: West Wing, Harry Potter & LWD. More in the works.

( Diagnosis (West Wing) )

( Beyond Belief (Harry Potter) )

( Student Housing (Life With Derek) )

Title: The Atomic Bomb
Show: Life With Derek
Category: Post-series
Rating: PG
Notes: This has been lingering and lingering for years in a state of "almost but not quite finished". Life (and academics) kept getting in the way. But finally I got it done! I'm happy that it finally gets to see the light of day!  I'll also say that I'm a little bit mean to poor Edwin in this fic. I promise I won't do that to him again!

( The key word here is mule-headed )

Title: Somewhere Close By
        Part 1: Lost and Found
        Part 2: Early Morning Wake-Up Call
        Part 3: Not for the Faint of Heart
For: summer_of_giles (posted here)
Rating: G
Category: Post-Chosen; no comics and no references to Angel Season 5
Pairings: Giles/Buffy
Notes: There will be a bit of a delay with Part 3, since I'm not scheduled to post again until the Open Day at the end of July. (Not that anybody over here is necessarily following this particular piece!)

( Early Morning Wake-Up Call )
 

Title: In Midst of the End
For: summer_of_giles 
Show: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Category: In-fill fic during "End of Days" and "Chosen"
Rating: PG
Pairings: All the canon ships and slightly Giles/Buffy because I apparently have trouble coloring within the lines
Notes: Since this takes place mainly in between scenes, I've included quotes from the show in italics as markers. It originally was meant to be a general piece reconnecting with Buffy with her friends (like they did season 4 and should have season 7) and maybe solve a few plot holes while I was at it. But about halfway through the fic, I realized I was mainly reaching for Giles POV because he was the one that was the most marginalized in those last episodes. So I decided to give the man the attention he was due. It wasn't meant to be shippy at all, but I don't think I succeeded. It's been a long time since I've used a beta, so a BIG thank you to amycurl for having an early read and then proofreading for me before I posted.


( Oooh! Jaffa Cakes! )

So these two Buffy drabbles (written for giles_shorts) might be the most angsty things I've every written! Totally not my ususal style. You've been warned! The drabbles are linked, so you'll have to read the first to understand the second. All you really know is that I dislike Season 6 intensely and yet somehow responded by writing a scenario that was arguably just as dark and depressing.

( Oh, To Be Wrong )

( Just To See You Once Again )


I promise, I'll go back to writing my usual fluff now.
