Miss Cellaneous

the_royal_anna, this is not the kind of Happy Birthday present you wanted, I think. I mean, it's a birthday present. Just not happy. Except in a very grim Slayer way.

But you wished for Faith, post-"Salvage," and the colour red. What's a girl to write but something that's rated R-for imagery-and-themes?



( Shrouded in light, she looks down at her body. )

I blame xanphibian, who inspired me. Also my icon here.


BtVS Double Drabble. Set in the middle of S 3. Rated PG-13.

( Faith uses them when she has to; anything else would be stupid, and she's not. )

Last night, I dreamt about Faith -- a group of us had met her, lived through a mini-adventure with her, and in the end...

Him: C'mon, don't leave. You're our friend.
Faith: ::lets it stand::
Me: And we are yours!
Faith: Yeah, don't know 'bout that.

It should totally bolster my fannish cred that I even dream in-character. & ;-)

Despite the fact it's all for a good cause -- Katrina donations -- I am (on a personal level, not at all with regards to the other contributors) feeling a bit uneasy when considering to join fandom_charity. ( POLL. )

Now, since I'm assuming all of you have, in some way, contributed already, if only with thoughts, a post, or a quick prayer: If you consider my fiction reward rather than a punishment, feel free to read on -- I'm not likely to continue, let alone finish either of these any time soon, but just in case you're fond of BtVS/AtS snippets:

Spoilers for BtVS 7x22 Chosen. Rated PG-13 for language.

( Faith in Varanasi )

The following is is a later snippet of the story started above, but it can definitely stand alone. May need a heteronormativity warning label.
Spoilers for AtS 5x22 Not Fade Away and BtVS 7x22 Chosen. Rated PG-13.

( Buffy/Faith, of sorts. )

Finally, since beneathgulmissy, quite a while ago, kindly offered to create an lj header if I only gave her a pic and some text, I changed my layout as to incorporate it properly. Thanks, sweetie!
