Christmas on the farm before leaving for Nicaragua was just what Riley needed; time to relax, think about his life, and Buffy. He knew he'd been right to end it, but...

As he cleaned out the toolshed one morning, a shovel hanging on the wall came loose somehow. Riley barely had time to look up before it hit him right in the face.

Tara loved hearing Willow talk in her sleep and trying to figure out what she was dreaming.

Usually.

This, however, was creepy.

"'Fyou hurt'er... beat you... shhhovel..."

And since when were her eyes that dark?

Hey, I've been reading all of these as you go and LOVING them, so please don't let my feedback-slackitude take away from this rave. You are so good at drabbling. Really amazing. I think my favorites so far were the Faith ones from yesterday; such nuanced character analyses in three little drabbles just blows me away. Keep it up; you're kicking ass!

Loved it.

Perhaps your next drabble should be "why [insert name] was killed by a freak landslide of American cheese slices, while Willow was having another dream." ;)

Ahh, so THAT'S why he didn't mention how he got the scar. lol.

Your drabbles never fail to cheer me up.

Haha wow that is a good explanation but also a lil creepy that she does not have much control over her witchcraft.
