(Fic) A Storm Coming In

[stormwreath]

I actually started writing this back in February, and it languished incomplete on my hard drive until today, when I finally finished it. Yay me. :-)  Incidentally, I think this is the first time I've attempted to write the characters in their early-season voices, so it's something of a milestone.

Summary: Buffy and her friends have to cope with an

Hee! This is utterly brilliant! *applauds* And isn't my icon just perfect? ;)

[stormwreath]

Thank you!

I'm probably missing something with the icon; why's it perfect? (I'm probably going to kick myself when you tell me...)

I'm just imagining that this would be Andrew's exact reaction if he saw the events of your story unfold...

[stormwreath]

Ah! Okay. I did wonder if there was some link to the specific scene Andrew's picture and/or dialogue were taken from - but Andrew never met the Buffybot, did he?

And wouldn't Andrew be more likely to say "oh wow" if it were Arnie rather than Summer Glau who'd come back through time stark naked? :-)

Very nice!

Extremely believable reactions from the whole group. And really enjoyable!

[stormwreath]

Thanks! (It was interesting to think how they'd react differently in Season 3, considering I normally write them post-season7...)

Absolutely priceless!!!

their own urgency to hear Robo-Girl's story lasted right up until she revealed that the apocalypse she'd come to prevent was due in... twelve years time.

Everything's relative... :)

"We probably should get her some clothes, Buffy. She is kinda naked."

"Thanks, Will. Thanks a lot. I was carefully trying not to think of the fact that Buffy is straddling a naked woman in the middle of the street. I'm going to have nightmares about this for weeks."

"'Nightmares?'" Buffy raised a sceptical eyebrow.

"Well, dreams. Dreams of a highly disturbing nature."

I can literally hear them sayig these lines. Spot-on Scoobies voices!

Everything's relative.

Seen through Buffyverse eyes, the meta-plot of Terminator does seem a little silly sometimes. :-)

Thanks!

I think you got the fight down very plausibly, too.

Good work, if a little sparser than your usual style.

[stormwreath]

Thanks! Terminators do seem to rely on brute strength (and pushing people through walls) more than actual fighting technique, while Buffy has both...

I feel the same.

Thanks! :-)
