Author’s Notes: It came together very quickly and ended up being more of a short blurb than a decent-sized fic, but hopefully it comes together well.  I didn’t have anyone beta this one, so if you have comments or suggestions as you’re reading, let me know.

Author’s Notes: The story below was written as part of a challenge called “Code Blue” in February 2007, for which I was awarded second place. In a nutshell, it was to write a Buffy the Vampire Slayer story, continuing from this sentence:

“Buffy is running through the hospital. Her face is cut and she looks like she’s been crying. Her leather jacket sways with every burst of an opening door. She stops as she sees the stretcher ahead. She breathes heavily looking at who is on it…”

So, with it, I figured I’d try something a little “different” (for me, at least). The story takes place at a very particular moment in Buffy and Dawn’s history, and is based on the finale to season five, The Gift.

The Fiction is live… kind of

As you can no doubt see, The Fiction is up and running with some stories already posted. Which means that, for all intents and purposes, we are now live. There is still a bio to be updated, and episodes of the virtual series need to be posted before the links work, but there is stuff to read.

If you have any comments about the look and feel, please make one below. While I love to have praise heaped upon me, if something just doesn’t seem quite “right”, be sure to post that, too.

The Perfect Woman

Title: The Perfect Woman

Setting: Season 7, in particular End of Days

Word Count: 1,221

Rating: PG for very mild language

Beta: None, so I’m to blame for every little mistake!

Author’s Notes: Standard disclaimer about how they’re not my characters, not my concepts, and I’m writing fanfic because I don’t have the originality of the almighty Joss.

This story was originally written as part of a fanfic challenge on KAX entitled “Unconventional Bonds” just about a year ago, in March 2007. I was pleasantly surprised when it won first place.

I wrote this in the first person, from Andrew’s perspective. He makes some comments about events in previous episodes, which aren’t entirely accurate, but (just like possession) perception is nine tenths of the law. The fic stems from the interaction and bonding between the two characters when rummaging through the hospital.
