( All the other fishes )

Hey, it's my first season 8 fic! I got the first issue of the comic and read it and liked it, but I must admit to thinking that Dawn's story is a little... hmmm... perplexing. So... before I get Jossed (and I REALLY hope I will be) here's the explanation for Dawn's predicament in the first issue of season 8.

Title: Size Matters
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: R
Word Count: 932
Spoilers: Season 8, #1
Disclaimer: I would like to publicly apologize to everyone in the entire world for this thoroughly repulsive ficlet. Especially to Joss Whedon, whose boots I am not worthy to lick and couldn't even afford to buy since I don't make any money off this.

( Little Dawnie's All Grown Up )

26th of January belongs to the *insert adjective of your choice here* character of Andrew Wells.

Also: make sure you check out the brand new community gen_storyteller, dedicated to all that fic which is NOT about Spuffy vs Bangel etc. All gen, all the time.

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 )

I promised four more – here's five more! This is a little bit dark. Rated R for cruelty and violence to minors.

( Five Holidays Faith Won't Forget )

Title: Welcome To The Slaughterhouse
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Timeline: Alt s5 from "Family"
Rating: NC17 !!!
Length: 20,000 or so in toto (10 chapters)
Summary: Alternate version of "Family", crossover with "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Tara’s family kidnap her and the scoobies follow, but of course there's things Tara hasn't told them... According to some this is "completely demented" and "morbidly sadistic" but I like it.
Characters: Ensemble, focus on Willow/Tara
Warnings: ***Violence; character death; character dismemberment; cannibalism; homophobia; self-harm; family squabbles***
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the characters here. They belong either to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy, or to whoever owns the TCM characters - if there is any justice in the world I guess that would be Tobe Hooper. If anyone knows for sure, let me know.

If you want to read me cringing and trying to justify all the nastiness in this, there's an annotated version here. You should probably read it unspoiled the first time, though.

( The Saw Is Family )

Continued here

What if The Gift played out as on the show... right up until about two minutes from the end? What if Buffy didn’t jump? Let’s see what happens. Oh, and just so you know: people are gonna die. It's not gonna be pretty.

This story was inspired by something latarmig said over at buffyforum.se. I couldn't help but agree: as good as "The Gift" is, it MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL. Blood, portal, key, slayer... my head hurts. This is really bleak, but I think it works. Plus I got to explore Buffy's and Dawn's relationship.

Pairing: Well, there's some Willow/Tara and Xander/Anya scenes that I like, but again, not really the point.
Chapters: 5
Rating: R for violence, death and apocalypse




( Red Dawn )

Yes – it’s the adventures of Vampire Dawn! Dawn gets vamped in "All The Way", and wackiness ensues as the Scoobies try to work their way through s6 AND take care of a spoiled teenage monster with a taste for blood.

Pairings: Spawn, Spuffy, Spangel, basically Spanythingthatmoves. There's some hinted-at Dawn/Drusilla naughtiness too. Also: my first Clem/Buffy pairing!
Chapters: 48 (short ones)
Rating: PG13 (mostly language and violence, but all in good fun)
Warnings: ***Character death, underage sex, character metamorphosis, misspellings of "magic", references to incest, references to the Backstreet Boys, sad puppies***

This fic won "Best Lighthearted" and placed second in "Best Vamped Scooby" in round 6 of the Fang Fetish Awards, and was both the judges' and the readers' choice in "Best Lighthearted" in the "Best of the Best" round. Also, it was runner up in round 12 of the Sunny D Awards for "Best Comedy". If you want to skip past these banners, click here.
