Here's my whichwillow fic!

Title: Where Do You See Yourself In Five Years?
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (post-"Bargaining")
Characters/Pairing: Willow/Tara
Rating: PG13
Word count: ~2500
Summary: The ritual to raise Buffy called on Osiris, ancient god of resurrection and also the judge of the dead. Since that time, Willow keeps seeing a man in the corner of her eye; tall, dark and handsome with a goatee, and followed by a snake not unlike the one that materialized in the ritual...
Written for the Which Witch Ficathon and JayeMaru's prompt.

A man in the corner approached me for a match
I knew right away he was not ordinary
He said, "Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?"
I said, "I got no money," he said, "That ain't necessary…"
- Bob Dylan, "Isis"

( The first few times Willow saw him, she didn't really think about it. Not consciously. It wasn't like they never got odd looks when they held hands in public, she'd learned to turn that into armor, into pride. But this guy who kept turning up just in the corner of her eye wasn't looking at them, he's looking at her, and she had to look back. )

Inspired by gabrielleabelle's post on Buffyverse characters writing fanfic, here's a long overdue installment in the shelf!verse, in which our intrepid heroes find themselves trapped in the world of fiction.

Book The Fourth: In Which Scotland Is A Silly Place

( I know it's kind of a secret and all, but... you didn't happen to have some of your fanfic in your backpack, didya? )

OK, this is purely for my own sake, so I'm hoping there's at least someone out there who thinks this is a good idea. I don't know if anyone else has ever thought there should be a Buffy/Dostoevsky crossover, or that Faith/Raskolnikov is a logical pairing, but...

Anyway, Chapter 2 of Shelf Life, in which our heroes get sent into Giles' bookshelf, this time finding themselves in 1860s S:t Petersburg. Written for still_grrr's Classic Literature month.

And on that note, this month is Classic Literature month at still_grrr, so let's see if I can create a sort of multi-chapter multi-crossover fic type thingy. The first challenge is "Ancient Greece to Renaissance", so let's step back to 1605...

( Unhand me, villain! )

Hey, while you're waiting for the next chapter of the snow monster thing (probably due tomorrow), here's two drabbles, one silly BtVS and one sad-ish Doctor Who since I'm doing a little pre-Christmas-special rewatch.

For open_on_sunday's "candle" challenge:

( Willow/Tara, season 5-ish )
And since I just watched "Gridlock" yesterday:

( Novice Hame and the Face of Boe, pre-episode )

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 )

September was "seven deadly sins" month at still_grrr. I had this idea for a drabble series about Willow (yeah, I know, Christian imagery for a Jewish wicca...) but one turned out to want more than 100 words, so I went with that one instead.

Title: Easy-Bake
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Pairing: Willow/Tara
Rating: PG13
Timeline: Early season 6
Word count: 591
Prompt: Gluttony

"I go to bakeries all day long/There’s a lack of sweetness in my life" (Jonathan Richman)
