Heeee, it's here, it's here! *does the Dance of Joy*

And it's a "2 prompts 1 fic" promotion to boot!

I love, love, love this and I still live in hope to someday see on CM an Unsub pretending to be Edward or generally a vampire to ensnare and brainwash teen girls, thus prompting an awesome deconstruction of that tripe masquerading as... god forgive me... literature.

Geeky boy-toy said, apparently unperturbed by the teenage girl crack. Or maybe his honor had been avenged by Ziva already?

Reid isn't an alpha male and he's totally fine and secure about it. Point for canon continuity even in a simple drabble!

“Buffy does,” Ziva replied.

Ziva is a Buffy fangirl! This makes absolute sense: she would eat up the whole "girl destined to fight monsters to save the world" thing. Another point for characterization!

Joking aside, I really like how there is the same level of care and quality in everything you write, drabble or bigbang.

“That’s what I don’t understand,” Geeky boy-toy replied exasperatedly, not allowing Ziva to reply. “The book was fairly mediocre - and definitely abused purple prose. But I can understand the audience overlooking poor prose if the characters are engaging and original. But they aren’t.” Geeky boy-toy looked betrayed.

As someone who read all those damn books in the hope they would get better, I feel your pain, Reid.

Ziva was still glaring. “Buffy would stake Edward, the end.”

Gold. Just... pure gold.

Thank you so much for this, I really liked it.
