Nom + drabble

[beer_good_foamy]

So some people have very generously nominated me for some awards:

Upon The Edge Of No Escape and Drive It Like You Stole It are nominated for the absence_oflight!

And 67 Characters In Search Of A Memory, Hitting Things And A Whole Lotta Jack D (Among Other Things), and the meta Buffy, the Vampire Slayer vs Buffy The Vampire Slayer have been nominated at wicked_awards.

Thank you so much! Also, make sure to check out buffyversetop5, which is running for a while yet.

Also, open_on_sunday is up again, yay! Here's a drabble for this week's prompt "Late".

A Ship, The Black Freighter

"Buffy?"

"Yeah?"

"...Nothing."

For years, Faith knew exactly where she missed her shot. The day after Buffy killed Gwendolyn Post, and dropped by Faith's motel room to talk. There were about five seconds when Faith could have asked her to stay. They might have talked, fought, or... whatever. She could have stayed, or left town, done anything. But the moment passed, that was that, and then it was always too late.

Yet now she's driving a bus full of Slayers across the desert as the sun rises.

"What are you smiling about?" Dawn asks.

Faith, unaware that she was; "...Nothing."
