Prompt 162/3 A drabble and a ficlet

[gillo]

LJ went down just as I posted this yesterday, turning it into an illegible load of tripe which the mod could not in all conscience let through. If it was my fault, I'm sorry. If it was LJ's, I think I want to set a demon on them.

Fortunately it's free-for-all week now, so I can still post these. Both post-Chosen and linked by theme to some extent.

Ugh, posting issues. Grr.

But I'm glad these got through. Very poignant pairing of post-Sunnydale memories. All those horrid nicknames transformed into mementoes, especially.

[gillo]

Well, nicknames are very often terms of endearment, aren't they?

Thanks for reading and commenting.

These are lovely. Sad, but lovely. I especially like the stillness of the second one; it's like the lights are out on the bus and we only see the people on board in the headlights of occasional oncoming cars. Impressions.

Thank you. What a wonderful, thoughtful comment.

Both of these are lovely and poignant. I can imagine bunnies have been ruined for Xander forever. Somewhere Anya would feel vindicated.

The second is vivid and moving. The image of Buffy quietly mourning with even the insulting nicknames becoming part of the memorial is wonderful.

Thank you for a wonderfully detailed comment!
