More Independence

[cornerofmadness]

Faith/Buffy – Post Chosen – Thank You’s
 
“We need your help,” Buffy said, eyeing Faith hostilely.
 
Faith didn’t look up from the duffle she was packing. “And you’ll get it, B. Just not this second. I have to go back to L.A.”
 
“We need you in Cleveland, where the Hellmouth is, not off on vacation,” Buffy replied, her jaw set grimly. “While Willow and I hunt down all the new Slayers.”
 
Faith sighed. “I get that, B. And I’ll go but I have to go tell Wesley and Angel thank you. A phone call isn’t going to do it. They gave me back my life, my independence.”
 
“Go.”

 

Wesley – BtVS S3  - Pride
 
Wesley surveyed the boxes packed for shipping. He already knew the Council was disappointed in Mr. Giles and he had outlined his plans for how he could help the man with Buffy while he, himself, took over Faith’s guidance. He couldn’t wait. He had been puffed up with pride ever since his appointment was announced. Even his father seemed almost proud, or at least not disapproving.
 
He was finally free, out from under his father’s thumb. He would shine. He would make the most of his independence. He would show them all how good he was. What could possibly go wrong?
 

 

Connor/Holtz – Quor-Toth – Striking Out
 
“I can do it myself!” Steven’s jaw set stubbornly.
 
“You’re still too little.” Holtz eyed the rocky terrain uncertainly as he held his son on his hip.
 
“Uh-uh,” Steven protested.
 
Holtz set Steven down, reluctant to accept this little show of independence, just as he had been when his own daughter had shown it. It was good for them to not be clinging, he reminded himself as he set out over the rocks.
 
Quickly independence turned into skinned knees gushing blood but once the bleeding was stemmed and the tears soothed away, Steven doggedly walked over the stones holding Holtz’s hand.

It IS a great icon

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I've had it so long, I don't even know where I got it. It was one of the first ones I got.

My father had to ask what I was giggling over. I, of course, said that I couldn't explain it.

*giggles more at your icon*

Giggles are always good. Especially when they're shared.

Poor Wesley. He has no clue how bad it can be.
