First of all: Woah, it seems LJ is almost working this morning. Definite step up.

Second of all: Weee! Thanks so much!

As always, banner by the ridiculously fantastic xlivvielockex

Third of all, a little something I whipped up for the open_on_sunday challenge "Move".

No Souvenirs

It's about 48 hours after Sunnydale collapses, after the shock starts to dull, after they've refueled the bus and loaded up on necessities, before they remember things they left behind.

Books. Clothes. Rings. Stuffed pigs. Photo albums. Everything they'd have packed in boxes marked 'FRAGILE' and brought along if they'd known they weren't coming back. It's silly, really. It's just stuff, hooks to hang memories on. Not really important.

Dawn could tell them that, she's sorta used to travelling light. Instead, when nobody's looking, she quietly slips the last existing picture of Tara from her wallet into Willow's new purse.

Well done Dawn!

Well done you, too, of course.

Thanks, from both of us! :)

Okay. No fair. You made me cry. You're not supposed to do that! You're supposed to do the season 8 snark that makes me laugh so hard I pee my pants and ohmigod did I just say type that out loud?

Wooops. Sorry about that. *hugs* Thanks!

Perfect. Dawn who best understands how memory is a construct, how possessions are reflections... But she gives Willow the picture anyways.

Also, stuffed pigs in the plural? There's more than one now? Wait, are you certain the pigs didn't escape? I mean, if it were any day for pigs to fly...

Thanks a lot!

Heh. You know, there's a plotbunny. I don't know why so many of my ideas lately involve Mr Gordo... maybe I'll even finish one of them at some point. *kicks muse*

Congratulations - what a lovely grrr banner!

And I love the drabble. Dawn being thoughtful is so sweet.

Thanks!

AWWW! Dawn for the win!

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Thanks!

Very nice drabble. Dawn's gesture calls back very efficiently her own relationship with Tara and Willow as a couple.

Thanks a lot! I always loved that little family the three of them had going...
