Un-written-about character drabbles
Since our esteemed mod ruuger asked, I dug out a couple of drabbles on some previously un-archived characters.
Title: How Riley Got That Scar
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: PG13
Character: Riley
Timeline: Mid-s5
Word count: 100
Iowa
Christmas on the farm before leaving for Nicaragua was just what Riley needed; time to relax, think about his life, and Buffy. He knew he'd been right to end it, but...
As he cleaned out the toolshed one morning, a shovel hanging on the wall came loose somehow. Riley barely had time to look up before it hit him right in the face.
Sunnydale
Tara loved hearing Willow talk in her sleep and trying to figure out what she was dreaming.
Usually.
This, however, was creepy.
"'Fyou hurt'er... beat you... shhhovel..."
And since when were her eyes that dark?
Title: Brogue Demon Hunters
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: PG13
Character: Doyle
Timeline: "City of..."-ish
Word count: 100
"So... Doyle, where are you from then?"
"Tought it was obvious? Ireland."
"Yeah, but where exactly? I've been trying to place your accent..."
"Fancy ya know Irish accents, do ya? Ever been dere?"
"Why, aye. Born an' raa...eee...iized." And Angel set about to prove his birthplace by, for the next ten minutes, speaking in a long-neglected dialect that might - might - have passed for Irish on... oh, say, American TV.
All his tortured vowels earned him, though, was a healthy gutlaugh and a slap on the shoulder. "Nice try, pal. Tell ya what, rent De Commitments again and practice some more."
Title: He Who Fights Monsters
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: PG13
Character: Holtz
Timeline: "Benediction"
Word count: 100
The pain feels like justice. Two holes, like those in his wife's and daughter's necks.
Holtz kills monsters. It's what he does. It's what he's sworn to do.
"Papa, no! Please, no, papa! Papa, don't. Let me go!"
Watching the Thing that was his daughter burn, every night for 240 years. Teaching himself to hate. Justice.
"Take him."
18 years in hell, teaching Stephen to hate. Justice.
Justine is crying. He knows what it's like to kill what you love, but justice must be served.
"Again. Again!"
Justine kills monsters. It's what she does. It's what she's sworn to do.
Title: Neither Neither Nor Nor
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: R
Character: Justine
Timeline: Between s3 and s4
Word count: 100
Good and evil are fucking two feet from her cage, grunting, gasping, moaning as one. She can't always tell them apart from in here.
She's damned and taunted Wesley, pleaded to his good side, promised to be good, offered to be bad. He never cares; there's no forgiveness there.
Sometimes, Lilah opens her cage as Wesley sleeps. Gagged, Justine shoots her hateful looks that say you can't buy me. Lilah laughs and closes the door.
She's fallen between, too good for evil, too bad for good. They're having sex two feet from her cage, but it's Justine who is fucked.
Title: Killing Angel By Degrees (100 Fahrenheit)
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: PG13
Character: Fred
Word count: 100
Slowly, the world stopped spinning. Angel was soaked through and through, and his limbs felt heavier than ever before. He could hear the last of the blood-tainted water run out through the drain below him and tried in vain to move.
Then the hatch opened and Fred hauled him out, holding him up triumphantly. "See? Told ya Tide gets demon blood out."
Gunn shrugged. "Fine. I still say we shouldn't have let him fight like that..."
"Oh, don't worry, Angel's tough. Ain'tcha, big guy?" Fred cuddled him before opening the next hatch.
PuppetAngel protested weakly. "No... not the dryer... please..."
