These Are A Few...
I know it seems as though I haven't been doing a whole lot lately but trust me, I am. I just can't post most of it here right now because of voting and whatnot. So be prepared for a mountain of stuff soon :D
As for now, I've got a couple of submission pieces from a challenge at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
whedonland that I can post here, so I will. Hopefully that will tide you guys over for now :D They're a couple of Buffy drabbles. Probably won't turn into anything more than this but you never know ;) There's a few references in there to my past work and some other shows but I didn't make them particularly noticeable in case I wasn't supposed to. If you get them though, good on you. I'm baking bikkies tomorrow so I'll chuck in a few extra to those who get them :P *Kicks horse into gear* Onto the drabbles :D

Dawn grinned as her fingers quickly raced across the keyboard, her eyes glancing down at them occasionally as she typed a response.
A pause.
As the screen changed to add the new response, she read it and burst out laughing. With all the things that had changed in her life over the last few years, Dawn had thought that she would never have 'normal' again. But the activation of the potentials had opened up a new world to them and she'd had to learn quickly. She'd developed contacts worldwide, ones that helped them keep the world safe, and along the way had made new friends.
She would do her bit to keep the world safe - a little slaying here and research there - but the one thing that was going to save her from retreating into herself was having anchors in the real world. As she laughed at the retold antics between her friend and his brother, she knew that even in the dark and terrifying world that they lived in, humour was a great way to shed that small ray of light.

She walked silently through the street and gave a cursory glance toward the park on her left before looking back at her feet. She pulled her black coat tight around herself and pushed her fisted hands into the pockets. A tear slipped unbidden down her cheek and she closed her eyes to prevent anymore from spilling.
Even though Tim hadn't been around long, she still felt his absence as though he had. Only tonight he had told her that he hadn't felt connected to her, not in the way he should have. As though she'd been holding something back. And he'd tried, almost gallantly, but the pull of someone else - someone who was more honest - had been stronger. There had been sad eyes, a kiss that had broken her heart because of its finality before the wind took his place beside her and she saw his car driving away.
She couldn't get used to it no matter how hard she tried. Slayers weren't supposed to have connections, let alone boyfriends, but it didn't stop her heart from yearning for more. As a flurry of movement caught her attention, she took a deep breath and took a brief reprieve from her thoughts, becoming what she was born to be.
A Slayer.
