Fic: Unicorns Are Totally Real (3/?) - Buffybot & Harmony, T
The chapter is apparently too long and heavily formatted to crosspost in one piece, so I'll just leave the header here with a fake cut to Dreamwidth.
Title: Unicorns Are Totally Real
Author: thenewbuzwuzz
Fandom: BtVS
Rating: T, I guess
Word count: ~5.5 K this chapter, ~10 K total so far
Characters: Buffybot, Harmony
Warnings: Buffybot, Harmony; not particularly Spike-friendly. Chapter warnings: animal death, plant death, POV character died in the past (she’s fine now!), bad houseplant ownership, messing with endangered species, life of crime, cultural appropriation of Fearsome Critters, bizarre side ship.
Working summary: A Spike stan and a Spike hater discuss their Spuffy-related woes while painting each other's nails or doing whatever skirt girls do together; eventually, unicorns.
UPDATE SCHEDULE: when I get around to it, possibly never! Current track record: 5 to 8 months between chapters.
Beta credit: thank you to thewiggins, kind and invaluable as ever. If this chapter makes sense, that's because Wiggins is so very good at saying huh? Also, thanks to OffYourBird for explaining how big America is, back in the early planning stage of this story.
Feedback: always appreciated, including about things that aren't working so well. This has been beta-read once, but I've changed a number of things since then and made some parts even weirder, so I'm curious about how this version works.
Notes: surpriiiiise, there's an update! :D I attempted a couple of scary things this chapter, such as using the POV of an original character. I'm very excited about a bit of mythology I got in. Tweaking the mood was an interesting time as well-the final version of the chapter is quite a bit less macabre and tragic than some of the drafts.
Chapter 1 is here.
Chapter 2 here.
And the new chapter is here!
