136 Drabble: Be In the Now (Giles)

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Title Be In the Now
Author Bruttimabuoni
Rating PG
Word Count 100
Prompt 136 (Band Candy: the factory scene)
Characters/Pairing (if any) Giles
A/N: This is a coda to my fic Echoes in the Air, and particularly antennapedia’s Pistolwhip Remix of it. If you want to know when Giles last fired a gun and why, the answers are there.


Last time I fired a gun, Ethan was there too.

I remember this feeling. That means something dangerous. Last time, I killed a friend.

Got to focus.

God, it was fantastic in those days. We were letting loose, using magics for pleasure and thrills. Now nerdy little Snyder and my disobedient Slayer are nothing compared with those we’ve lost.

Wish Joyce had been with us then, though. What a cracker. Wonder what she was doing in ’76? Student probably. Mmmmm, tasty. Hope she wore hotpants.

Um. Gun in my hand. What’s that for?

Killing Ethan.

Isn’t it?

...

Buffy disagrees. Spoilsport.

This is great!

Thanks!


(And it's your fault I'm apparently going to introduce Snaiku to the world. All your fault.)

What! What? C'mon! You can't just put something like "Snaiku" out there without some follow through. It would be wrong. (I can just barely wait!)

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

Fabulous. I like the echo "I remember this." Giles with ADHD is incredibly scary. And funny!

Read & Enjoyed!

Well, I already warned deird1 in a comment to her piece and she didn't stop me.

With a concept as stunning as Snaiku, you don't just post at once. It has to be honed to a peak of perfection, you know. *snooty*

(And it's in the mod queue now, so you won't be waiting long).

He's just under the surface, waiting for band candy...

*g* Giles is scary, underneath the tweed. Band Candy just brings it out!

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Great! That's good to know.
