Here's a fic for this year's spook_me ficathon and also for... I think the "Inside Out" square on my buffyversebingo card.

Title: Player Piano
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, post-series
Characters/Pairing: Dawn
Rating: PG13
Word count: ~1000
Summary: When Dawn was six years old, her dad got her a music box. No biggie, it's just a music box, just a childhood toy she's kept for all these years, a tune she occasionally hums. Just a small part of the pool of memories and quirks that make a person. And obviously she should have more important stuff on her mind after Sunnydale turned into a giant crater. So why does the world suddenly seem so quiet?

Written for spook_me, the prompt "evil toys" and this picture.

From the moment of my birth to the instant of my death
There are patterns I must follow just as I must breathe each breath
Like a rat in a maze the path before me lies
And the pattern never alters until the rat dies
- Paul Simon

( Dawn never actually had a sixth birthday. She's asked Dad in one of their increasingly rare phone calls if he remembers going there; he does. Czechoslovakia no longer exists. The airline went bankrupt in 1994. Apart from the music box there is no physical evidence that he ever went there. )

I guess it's been kind of a theme day. First, there was gabrielleabelle's post on "Him". Which inspired ladyofthelog to write commentfic. Which inspired stormwreath to write "Buffy's Little Secret". Which inspired angearia to write "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Which inspired peroxidepirate to write "Show Me". And now, I... very much doubt that anyone will be surprised by what this fic is about.

It just occurred to me that I left something off my year in review post: Buffy Between the Lines, the fan audio drama! Over the year, I had one script (written in 2007) produced and broadcast for season 1 and wrote half of another episode for the ongoing season 2.

And since I haven't posted the script for the first ep I wrote here, I might as well. So this is episode 11 of Buffy Between The Lines, the penultimate episode of the season, in all its pre-produced glory. I'm pretty happy with most of it.

If you want to listen to the episode, it's here. And since it ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, the season finale is here.

Title: Oldies Night
Author: Beer Good
Rating: PG13
Word Count: Over 9000
Summary: Buffy Between the Lines takes place between seasons 5 and 6, tracking what happened with the Scoobies during the Buffy-less summer - Willow's descent into black magic, everyone dealing with their grief, deciding to raise Buffy, etc. At the same time, they have to deal with a new Big Bad - Javert, a vampire Spike once sired during a very drunken night in Paris, who's decided to rid the world of California once and for all and employed a few Sunnydale lowlives to help him out.

In the last episode, Javert kidnapped Dawn, who's been less than happy with the situation and feeling generally abandoned by everyone and a bit rebellious. Javert's plan for destroying California is nearly ready for execution, and the Scoobies have their hands full...

( The play's the thing )
