A Lar by any other name

TITLE: Drenched in Power
FANDOM: Buffy/Whedonverse
PAIRING: Willow, Giles
PROMPT: someone needs to be wet at the April Showers writing challenge at whedonland
RATING: PG
WORD COUNT: 353
SUMMARY: Willow discovers some earth magic.
WARNINGS: None
DISCLAIMER: Joss is king. Sometimes I write a few scenes from his universe.

( ...she wishes she knew what the coven wanted from her... )

Title: Come Out and Play

Title: One In a Million
Author: lar_laughs
Artist: enwashian
Fandom: Firefly/Buffy crossover
Genre: het
Word Count: 17343
Rating: R (for Chinese swear words and some drinking)
Characters/Pairings: Mal/Faith
Warnings/Spoilers: This is set after Serenity (BDM) and somewhere in the last season of Buffy. All the Chinese is either found at this really cool site or using Google Translator. Please don't think that it's exactly correct because I don't know Chinese any more than Faith does.

Author's Note: I've finished something! Imagine my surprise! I would like to thank my betas, imagine_that and brendanm720, for putting up with my "I'll have the rest to you tomorrow" attitude through most of this. I certainly made you wait for a lot of tomorrows! I would also like to think entwashian for the very cool fanmix and mannip she made for this story. There is nothing more cool in this life than having someone make something for a story I write. Thank you so much! Last but not least, this is for all my fellow browncoats at whedonland. It's true that I will do anything to get points for my team (save for making vids because I still don't know how to do that) and without that drive, I never would have completed this.

Summary: Thanks to a strange box that Kaylee found in a junkyard, Faith finds herself pulled from the world of vampire slaying that she knows so well only to land onboard Serenity in a time well out of her own. She’s surprised when the crew accept her so easily but even more surprised when the captain seems to find her as intriguing as she finds him. Mal has lost a lot of people in his life but when he loses Faith, he loses more than a friend. He loses the one girl who might be the perfect fit for his heart and soul. Will he find her again after Kaylee sends her back to where she came from and, if he does, will she return his feelings?

AUTHOR: lar_laughs

WORD COUNT: 493
SUMMARY: Illyria comes to grips with what is happening around her as well as what is taking place in the soul that is left over in the vessel she inhabits.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any part of, nor do I make any money from any world that Joss Whedon has created. I merely dabble in the shadows of his greatness.

WARNINGS: spoilers for the last four or five issues in this current arc, nerd foreplay
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I didn't go back through my past issues to see where the bathroom might be located in Oz's house... or even if there is one inside. I sure hope he hasn't actually mentioned a bathroom before!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any part of, nor do I make any money from any of Joss' kingdom. I merely dabble in the shadows of those wondrous worlds.

( ...they've fought the good fight but now it's time for some well-deserved down time... )

Title: Breaking the Record
Fandom: Jossverse (Firefly)
Characters: Jayne, River
Word Count: 503
Prompt: a character makes a resolution of some sort at whedonland

(I keep trying to work through the death of Inara... even though we never got to see it on the show. The only clue we even have that she was sick is some Comic Con conversations, I think. Anyway, when I read that she was really spending her last days aboard Serenity, I found that incredibly heart breaking. She's died a thousand different ways in my head but I know Joss would have done it better.)

( ...she knows she can help them more than they can help themselves... )

Title: Supermassive Black Hole
Fandom: Dollhouse/Buffy crossover
Characters: Topher/Dawn
Word Count: 1051
Prompt: unnatural selection
For elle_blessing who asked for one of my New Year drabbles

Author’s Note: Dawn is coming from the current timeline of Season 8, although I’m not sure how close to canon I am. All I know if that the Slayers need some help and Dawn is getting good at helping out those in need. If you haven’t read the graphic novel, you’re missing out!

( ...he's always on the lookout for new playthings... )

I keep forgetting to post this!!!! This is the Marriage Fic that I wrote nearly a month ago that won FIRST PLACE at the_browncoats! I'm very partial to Kaylee and I like the thought of her getting a REAL MAN instead of some swishy sort of doctor fellow.
