Drabble: A Little Bird Told Me

[beer_good_foamy]

Apropos of absolutely nothing, here's a modern AU of the end of "Choices", after Willow is freed from the evil clutches of the Mayor. (Or is that the clutches of the evil Mayor? Can clutches be evil in and of themselves? Is there such a thing as being in the clutches of something good? Oh, honestly. I don't know where my mind goes these days.)

A Little Bird Told Me

"...And then I told her ‘You made your choice, Buffy was your friend...’"

Giles interrupted Willow's tale of heroics. "This is fascinating, but let's get back to the point. You actually had your hands on the Books of Ascension?"

"Volumes 1-5."

"Is there anything you can remember that could be of use to us? Anything at all?"

Willow shrugged. "Well, I was in a hurry, and what I did read was kind of over-involved. If you ask me, way overwritten." She held up her phone. "But Faith just tweeted out the best bits, see what you can make of that?"

Works for me.

[beer_good_foamy]

Which is similar to what the Mayor said when he found out, only more like "Isn't she supposed to work for me?" :)

Thanks!

*dies*

I think this is why devoted family man Richard didn't actually have any children....

[beer_good_foamy]

Well, in fairness, I would assume his children would at least be smarter than some others'...

Thanks!

[rebcake]

Hehehehe. Smartly done.

[beer_good_foamy]

Thanks!

I briefly considered turning this into a full-on s3 what-if-the-Mayor-was-an-idiot rewrite, but nah, it's too unrealistic.
