Birthday fic!

Happy birthday musesfool

::throws sparkly things::

I swear this started as a drabble but it kind of got away from me. It isn't exactly what you asked for so, just in case, I kept the receipt. BTVS/SPN Xover, Dean and Cordelia, a chance meeting by the side of the highway, July 1999, 2,056 words...

Heh, I was wondering why you needed that info on Cordelia's car!

This is a lovely story; both of them are more than they seem. And each presumes that the other is a civilian (and thus they're not being honest), but seeing a bit more of an edge there...

Dean is such a horndog, but recognises caution & sadness - and Cordelia's so wary after her bad experiences, but appreciates a fine man nevertheless. I was kinda hoping they'd get it on, because that would be damn hot, but it works well as a brief encounter too.

[teand]

It was the sort of thing Dean would know. Thanks again for finding it for me!

I was kind of hoping they'd get it on too but I rewatched Prom and both halves of Graduation Day (it's been a long time since I wrote BTVS and I never did much) and Cordy at that point is, as you said, way too wary to indulge in a little roadside nooky even with Dean Winchester.

I'm glad you liked the way it turned out.

I really like this, how they recognize each other, or, you know, they each recognize that the other knows something about the darkness, but they skate on the surface of it, banter and attraction. I'd love to see them meet again down the road at some point, possibly while hunting the same creature. *hint hint*

Thank you so much!

[teand]

You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it and I hope you had a wonderful birthday!

"I thought you weren't the kind of girl to go into sewers?"

When she turns, Dean sees there've been some changes over the last couple of years. She's in a lot more clothes but he can see there's a lot less tan and the look on her face suggests she's been... tempered. Beautiful brown eyes widen, first with recognition and then in surprise as she glances down at the crossbow he's cradling. His eyes widen a bit in turn; she's carrying one just like it.

He's about to say something about it being a small world when she raises her weapon and yells, "Behind you!"

::whines:: I haven't done anything but outline my harlequin story yet... ::sighs and adds this to the list::

[musesfool]

Dude, I hear you on the harlequin thing, but seriously, Dean and Cordy together is just hotness that cannot be denied! I'm so happy it's on your list! Thanks again.

[dotfic]

Clicked through from musesfool's lj. That was fun. Oh, the banter! There should totally be a fic where they meet up again.

[teand]

Thank you!

There should totally be a fic where they meet up again.

::points up::

Apparently, there's about to be...

[athenejen]

Damn. This worked so well, with sparkling, slightly edged banter, and the way each of them recognized and acknowledged both the superficial and the hidden within the other. And they would be so hot together... Truly fabulous.

[teand]

Thanks, I'm so glad it worked for you. And that much pretty in one place would be almost... incendiary! *g*

[tylergrrls]

Wandered by from musesfool's journal as well, and this was awesome! Truly cool. I dig this crossover pairing. ;)

Thank you! It's not a pairing I'd have thought of on my own but musesfool kind of asked for it and that got me thinking so... *g*
