Connor in Quor-Toth – Deadly

Steven often heard Father lament about the edibles they didn’t have here. There were no sweet ripe blackberries, juicy strawberries, no succulent tart apples to be made into pies in autumn. There wasn’t even really an autumn per se. No tea to relax over, nothing to act as a spice for their stews. The young boy had asked why they hadn’t just eaten the plants growing around them and Father explained that plants could be very toxic and the only way to know for sure was to try them. He wouldn’t risk their lives. Steven wondered what he was missing.



Buffy & Connor – Post Series – R.I.P.

“Brown irises? Of all colors, why brown?”

Connor looked up over his shoulder from where he worked to plant the flowers at the memorial for those lost to Blackthorn, namely Angel and all his friends. Buffy and her Slayers had arrived too late to save any of them. “Had a dream. Mom told me Dad loved them.”

Buffy blinked at him, still working on his relationship to Angel. “He liked roses, too.”
Buffy studied him, wondering how he was bearing it. She put her fingers over the names, Angel, Spike, the men she loved and lost. “I’ll plant the roses.”



the second is for evil_little_dog and her unusual love of brown irises

The first one...I still want the rest of the story with SPOT!!!!

The second one - AWWWW. But I think your spacing is off because the second paragraph wants...something.

And I'm sure Connor would love my brown iris.

i'm sure the second paragraph wants something but at 100 words it's SOL

Very fitting for this time of the year here in the Northeast.

RE: Buffy & Connor: love the last two sentences.
