BtVS/AtS crossover – Ensemble – post series – the waiting game

“Angel, will you please just sit down. You’re making everyone nervous,” Buffy said tartly, glaring at the pacing vampire.

“He was this big of a wreck last time, too,” Gunn offered cheerily.

Angel flopped on the couch, glowering at everyone. “I’m worried.”

“It’s perfectly natural,” Willow said. “Just relax a little.”

“You and Giles aren’t helping much with all your musings on exotic natures and how they’ll combine.” Angel grunted. “Wish they’d get back from the doctor’s.”

As if summoned, Connor opened the door and escorted in a very pregnant Dawn. Both of them grinning broad, Dawn announced. “It’s a girl.”



Joyce centric – S5 – The News

Joyce rarely drank and almost never went to bars, not since she had become a mom. She found one on her way home, one that didn’t look too grungy. It was nearly empty, just a few stragglers from the lunch crowd. She ordered a Jack Daniels and coke, waving away the menu. Her appetite was long gone. Joyce struggled to absorb what the doctor had told her. A brain tumor. Was she going to die? Who would watch out for her babies? Buffy and Dawn needed her. Joyce wept, allowing herself a selfish thought; she wouldn’t outlive Buffy, after all.

Oh, the first one was so happy making! Grandpa Angel and Auntie Buffy. :-D

And then you follow it up with a heartbreakingly sad dying Joyce drabble.

Well played, my friend.

Angel being a grandfather is one scarey thought.

Our poor Joyce. I always did like her and I hated that episode when she died.
