ANGEL--FIC: Slow Motion (NFA--Gunn-centric) ---Late July writing-bit---
*
Eighteen days late for the July writing bit but hey it got here! Let's just be happy about that okay folks...
Title: Slow Motion
Rating: PG13 (It's a "Not Fade Away" fic people strong language, adult themes, and off-screen minor-character death.)
Fandom: Angel: the Series
Summary: Gunn's scatter-shot thoughts and POV during the final scene in NFA.
Wordcount: Approximately 198.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my shiny DVDs. Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy and all the other appropriate network types, own everything.
Beta'd by: The wonderfully kind kimalis. But I changed some stuff after she looked at it so ANY mistakes found are totally mine!
Warnings: Do I need to give spoiler warnings for season 5 Angel anymore? Spoilers for: Damage, Not Fade Away and for the season one episode War Zone.
Author's Note: So way back when I use to write open_on_sunday drabbles a lot, I wrote several drabbles within a post-Chosen or during NFA timeline.
***OoS #81 "Slayers who aren't Buffy" gave me a double drabble Never asked for this./No Such Things. In which I create a new character who was one of the potentials found after "Chosen" this one timelined out to be right before "Damage" in season 5 AtS, so spoilers for "Damage" in this one.
***OoS #75 "Counting Crows song titles or Silence" had given me a double drabble before that with Forever wasn’t quite so long Pt 1 & 2, which shows a POV from an old minor-character in the final scene of NFA.
***Then right on the heels of that drabble and right before the first one, OoS #80 "Weapons" gave me one drabble The use of Weapons, which showed Spike's POV during the same scene.
Author's Note 2:I'm also working on a ficlet that continues on the Spike drabble but timelines a few monthes after NFA, but it's not ready yet. I do however have Gunn's POV now with this ficlet/drabble. I started this one of from OoS #279 "Slow" and was thinking of writing something with Xander, but Gunn barged in and took over and then NFA invaded. I tried to tie the other NFA-type drabbles in with this one.
***********************************************
Slow Motion
Slow. Time was moving so very incredibly slowly, he thought. It couldn’t progress any slower, but then with everything happening so slowly he could notice every detail.
~*~*~*~
The blood dripping down my face.
The pain of my injuries.
Potentials struggling with demons everywhere, some occasionally falling to the ground and remaining there.
Angel fighting a huge dragon.
Swarms of demons flooding the area near the Hyperion.
Illyria to the left taking out demon after demon, cutting through them like butter.
Spike taking out just as many on the right.
~*~
Then everything kinda fades and there are a couple of girls helping me outta the alley, where they begin trying to patch me up, as best they can.
Glancing over I see Buffy spin an axe through six demons around her.
There’s a gentle hand turning my head towards a teenage girl. She reminds me of Alona. There’s a look of age in her young eyes.
“Can you still hear me?”
“You look like Alona.”
“My name is Taylor. Who’s Alona?”
“My sister.”
“Is she here? Should we find her?” The girl, Taylor, sounds worried.
“No. She’s dead.” I can feel the tears dripping down my face.
