Three - THREE - drabbles for open_on_sunday's prompt "Flower". I don't know when was the last time I managed three.

( Post-NFA, Faith & Buffy, kinda sad )

( 'A New Man', Tara, kinda shmoopy )

( AtS s5, Angel and Lorne, kinda silly )

I won awards! As did some people on my flist, so congrats to shapinglight and snowpuppies (as well as all the other winners, of course) and huge thanks to everyone who voted/judged!

( Under the cut )

But enough about me; make sure you check out snowpuppies' ficlet Chosen, which is a chilling and very convincing slice of Watcher-Slayer interaction.

Finally, a few icons I made for the still_grrr prompt "Surrealism," shamefully ripping off René Magritte's The Treachery of Images; the painting of a pipe with the caption "This is not a pipe." Because things are never what they seem in the Jossverse.

Happy birthday to the wonderful bakatulip! Yeah, a couple of hours early, but what the heck.

Here! Have some Willow/Tara and Willow/Fred icons!

( 7 more )

Also, inspired by maharet83's 8.08 icons, I thought I'd try to cheer Faith up a bit:


( bigger version )

Also, I completely forgot to pimp this story which the lovely sl_podcast wrote for my birthday. Thanks a lot for all good wishes, everyone!

Behold, I bring a separate post of drabbles!

For open_on_sunday's "Con" prompt:

( Faith and Kennedy )
And two simply because they were silly plot bunnies that wouldn't let go:

( Willow and Tara )

( Behind the scenes in Sunnydale )

My muse is in a sillykinky mood today. Here's a request ficlet (in other words, don't blame me for it, haha).

Title: All Doctors Need Patients
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Word count: 275
Rating: R
Characters/Pairing: Willow/Tara
A/N: Written for bakatulip, who wanted fic based on Willow's line when she finds a medikit in Chaos Bleeds: "Great, now I can be Nurse Willow! Tara's gonna love this."

( Doctor, doctor, gimme the news... )

Here's one that's been sitting on my computer for almost a year, and so with still_grrr's "Bring Out Your Dead" month in full swing, I thought I'd finish it.

Title: Borrowed Time
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: PG
Word Count 920
Characters/Pairing (if any): Willow/Tara, Xander
Summary: So I said to myself: Self, I said, here's a challenge for ya.
1. Tara's funeral.
2. NO resurrection spells, spirit worlds, manifestations or hauntings. Just... death.
3. Happy ending.
Well... I tried.

( Letting her be dead )

Today's drabble subject is... Tara.

Title: Weakness
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: PG13
Character: Tara
Timeline: Summer between s5 and s6
Word count: 100

( The audience wants to find you, strip you naked, and eat you alive, so hide )


Title: Even if she never...
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: PG13
Character: Tara
Timeline: Alt. future after "The Weight of the World"
Word count: 100

( Sometimes she's fine. )

Also, this week's prompt at open_on_sunday is "calculating". Here's two:

( Easy As Pi )

( Plus Equals )

Happy birthday somercet!

Which seems like a good excuse to post this. Though I probably would have anyway.

Title: Wow
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: R
Pairing: Willow, Tara, Buffy, Faith in various permutations
Timeline: "Who Are You?"
Word count: About 3500 words. Holy crap.
Disclaimer: Joss is a respected writer who would never lower himself to writing this. I am not him, evidently. I own nothing, I earn nothing.
Summary: All Willow and Tara had to do was keep their hands off each other long enough to perform a spell to put Faith and Buffy back in each others' bodies. Now, really, how many ways can that go wrong? Well, quite a few, as it turns out...

This is a totally gratuitous piece of femmeslash, written only for the amusement of me and others with a similar sense of humour. It started out as a drabble, continued as an ill-fated attempt at smut, and I think it ended up as baudy French farce. But it should be fun.



Nominated at the Crossing Over Awards!


( Wow )

Lucky 13! One of my favourite characters, but just the one drabble since I'm working on something else that I hope to have done by tomorrow.

Title: Numb
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: PG13
Character: Dawn
Timeline: Season 6
Word count: 100

( Is there anybody in there? )

EDIT: OK, I thought I was done, but I just got bit by the silliest plot bunny in a LONG time.

Title: Rated R For Language
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: R, obviously
Character: Dawn
Timeline: "The Gift"
Word count: 100
Why: Because it seems about as logical a way to stop the apocalypse as the whole key/blood/sister thing. Except a lot sillier.

( I bet you they won't show this scene on TV )

lateseasonlove has a challenge about fics taking place during "Tabula Rasa". So this little idea popped into my head and I decided to write it down while my muse is still in gear.

Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Title: Driving Away From Home
Characters: Xander, Tara
Timeline: Immediately after "Tabula Rasa"
Rating: PG-13
Length: 500 words exactly!
Summary: So Tara leaves Willow and she needs a ride back to campus. Xander's a gentleman, so he offers. But Xander's also Willow's best friend.
Disclaimer: Joss owns the characters. Joss has character. I have none.
