Late drabble and some whining

I feel like death. I've totally lost my voice and now my stomach is turning inside out. On the upside my brother passed his national boards and is all certified as Dr. E, physical therapist.
And my nurses and majors did me proud on their neurology mid term. Excellent scores. So i don't suck after all.

as for the drabble

Dawn - post Chosen - Waiting

This was not supposed to be happening. She was in college. Dawn wasn’t ready. She had already told him she was late. How was she going to tell Buffy? Wasn’t this what birth control was supposed to be for? This could be bad, really bad. She was an interdimensional key. His first kid was some sort of demon-goddess.

Dawn didn’t even want to think about it. She didn’t think Buffy would understand. She had no idea what she might do if late turned into hello mommy. She stared numbly at the pregnancy test stick desperately waiting on painted lines.

Fic - Ghost Hunt

Well I'm off work today because I'm sick and the laryngitis is so bad I can barely squeak. So I had time to get this out here early. And if there's any luck I'll have the other one I wrote for this challenge done by tomorrow's deadline. And look, an all new fandom for me!

Author’s note - #1 this is my first Fruba fanfic so I’m still finding their voices and I took some liberties with Haru’s mother who hasn’t been seen yet (at least as of vol. 13). This was written for the Spook Me Multi-fandom Halloween ficathon. My prompts I could chose from were Alien, Tentacle Monster, and/or alone in the dark and I’ll confess to playing a little fast and loose with them. Oddly enough my Halloween fic turned out more darkly humorous than scary.
Author’s Note #2 - I have a feeling that the class levels in Japan are far more insular than this and wouldn’t go out on outings together but really, I wanted Haru on this adventure so let’s pretend okay. And the games they played here, well, let’s see, the kimodameshi is the ‘test of people’s courage’ and the point (such as my limited understanding is) is you have a goal that you have to get to (usually set in a haunted house or cemetery-like setting) and you have other people trying to scare you and prevent you from reaching the goal. The hyaku monogatari is the 100 stories. Traditionally it starts at midnight when a hundred paper lanterns are lit and are extinguished one at a time after each story and ghosts are supposed to come and check things out once all is said and done. Obviously, the kids are playing fast and loose with this.
Author’s Note #3- Thanks to evil_little_dog for the beta and to mjules for reading and encouraging me and to the moderators of this ficathon. It’s such a fun idea. I enjoyed it!
