Here's another beautiful still_grrr banner, as always with humble thanks to voters and xlivvielockex:


And speaking of still_grrr, I don't rec nearly enough stuff, but ubiquirk's The Wait by the Phone is No One’s Friend is an excellent little piece; Giles between s2 and s3.

On to this week's open_on_sunday drabbles. The prompt is "Rock'n'roll", which of course means Faith backstory and Spinal Tap crossovers.

To Eleven
London, 1965.
"This Is Spinal Tap" crossover (and not the first I've written, either.)

Young people came to Swinging London to be rockstars, or at least be near them. For many, the dream turned sour. Take Mary, for instance; dumped by both guitarists in an up-and-coming band, she now sat sobbing at the bar, complaining to a new-found friend.

"I hate them! I wish they were dead... no, wait. That's too easy. I wish they live to see their career die. I wish they keep losing their drummers, that they get second billing to puppet shows, that their stage equipment almost kills them, and..."

Anya nodded, taking notes. "Good. I can work with that."


Everything Louder Than Everything Else
Boston, 1998

The vampire screamed in pain, Faith slammed the stake home and then took a deep breath before turning towards her watcher. Yup, that was the look of disapproval.

"That was pure luck, Faith. He almost had you."

"Fine, shouldn't have let him get that close, but... you know what you said about vampire hearing? I figured anything loud would hurt'em. So I put my headphones on him, turned it up, 10 seconds of Motörhead later... dust."

"And you shouldn't be wearing your walkman on patrol, either." She smiled reluctantly. "Still... it was resourceful. We'll make a slayer of you yet."

Thanks! There had to be some demonic involvement, in the Stonehenge fiasco at least.

The planets aligned. I just read these drabbles at [Unknown site tag], loved them, and thought, 'I should finally tell beer that I'd like to friend.' So I pop on over to see you've rec'ed me. Thanks! What do you say about friending?

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, and I'm all for friending!

Lovely! I'm going to try to find you elsewhere too. I did a gj and an ij, but prefer ij if fandom flees.
