'Tourist Trap' by Quinara

[quinara]

Apparently I'm on a roll (who would have guessed, with this being Magical Creatures Week? I know I'm surprised...), so here is a sequel to my fic about the kraken, Deep Sea Rescue. Still PG, still post-series/halfway through Angel S5, but we're beyond reunion into established relationship territory now. Exactly 1000 words according to Word and it

Hooray! They didn't slay the dragon! Love it.

[quinara]

Yay, thanks! This fic definitely needs a footnote to stultiloquentia's awesome dragon fic Urban Wildlife, which has a similar sort of solution, but after BMB's cruel slaughter of her dragon, I could hardly have more bloodshed!! :P

*snort*

quinara: soft on dragons, soft on the causes of dragons.

But this made me laugh quite a lot, so you are forgiven.

[quinara]

I am a friend to the dragons, it must be said, ill-advised though that may be...

But hooray!! I'm glad there was laughter. :D

A sequel!! You are are on roll, and it's quite impressive.

during which his dashing and irresistible physique had suffered some rather miserable setbacks, leaving him quite possibly whimpering in Buffy’s arms about how the salt hurt and he loved her more than unlife itself

I was both snickering and going 'awe' in my head. Excellent combination, that.

He had to cut in. “Norbert?”
“Yeah.” Buffy shrugged. “I finally read those books. Charlie’s way the hottest Weasley.”

Shouldn't it be Norberta, though? :) Hee, Buffy liking Charlie best makes perfect sense. Lovely series- think you'll try for the other creatures?

[quinara]

Oh, thank you!! I'm so glad I could maintain momentum (these are just fun to write, can you tell?).

And, hee - it's only 2004, so nobody knows the secret about Norbert yet! Dawn made Buffy read after obsessing over Order of the Phoenix, so she's not that well versed in everything, but has been forced to come up with answers to essential questions... I would love to try the other creatures, if I can work out things to do with them! *puts thinking hat on*

[gryfndor_godess]

And, hee - it's only 2004, so nobody knows the secret about Norbert yet!

Ahh, of course! *claps hand to head and feels dumb*

I'm glad you're having fun (and being uber-productive) with these prompts. I thought it would be a barren month at Fag Ends what with S_S and the DDoS attacks.

[quinara]

Oh, don't feel dumb! It's also entirely possible I actually forgot that piece of information and just happened to be lucky that it was in DH... *is a bad HP fan*

Me too, actually, but there's a certain quality of uni stress that always pushes me towards writing, and it just so happens it's happening now. :/

[hello_spikey]

aw! Poor Spike, he's having quite a time being manly! hee hee

The dragon sounds so cute! OMG!

Rehabilitated!

[quinara]

:D I think Spike's work is definitely cut out for him (and Buffy's far too entertained to put a stop to it).

And heh, I always seem to fall short of writing really scary dragons - but there needs to be moarr of them! I can't let them be evil and killed off!

[spikereader]

Yay for Spike safeguarding my National Trust membership from dragons. And the rehabilitation, of course. That was good.

[quinara]

Definite yay! Up next, the peak district! And thank you. :)

“I finally read those books. Charlie’s way the hottest Weasley.”

DYING at the perfection of this. So. Incredibly. Buffy.

“You’re not a subtle man, are you, hon?”

Has he ever been? That's why we love him!

AND THE ENDING. SO MUCH LOVE. I'm grinning like a loon!

[quinara]

Buffy may have a thing for people who can deal with wild beasts... :D

Anyway, YAY!! Really glad you enjoyed - thanks! :)
