stress drabbles

[cornerofmadness]

The open_on_sunday challenge was 'stress' how very appropriate. College students think taking tests are stressful. It's not much easier to write a good final and i have four to do. I took this opportunity to fulfill some holiday wishlists etc too

Faith – Post series – Shadow of the past

It wasn’t easy fitting in after all she had done. Yeah she helped save the day and got out alive when Sunnyhell fell in. Faith still felt the stress of trying to overcome her past. There were days, especially when Buffy would give her that ‘look’ and Faith would just want to give in and be her bad self. Those were the days she’d call Angel. He always knew how to steady her, something she never told Buffy. When the time came for the group to break up and find all the new Slayers, Faith was relieved. Finally, her second chance.

Connor – S5 - Finals Week

Why in the hell did every one of his professors think that theirs was the only class he was taking? How was he supposed to handle finals not to mention all the new thoughts rolling through his head? Ever since getting his memories back, Connor was having trouble sorting himself out. Why was he even bothering with college when he was so obviously meant for something darker, more dangerous and ever so much more important? Had he even picked his major or had Angel? He needed to shake off some stress. Frat party or demon hunting. Decisions, decisions.

Giles & Willow S3 – Shop Talk

“I don’t know how you do it, Giles. The stress would eat me up,” Willow said, helping Giles reorganize his books on aquatic demons.

“I’m not so sure about that, Willow. You’ve acquitted yourself admirably many times over now. I think you have the potential to be a very good Watcher.” Giles pushed his glasses back up. “Though I can easily understand why you would rather chose another lifestyle.”

“The magic part is fun. Not that I’m practicing magic without your approval,” she added hurriedly.

Giles smiled uneasily, wishing he believed her, wishing he had time to train her properly.
