Slayerfest 2048

"Who's gonna look after them?" Buffy'll ask, looking over the ladies in training.

"Jumpin' ahead, B. Let's be carefree."

Sagging, still blond to bleach the gray, Buffy'll say, "We're sixty-whatsit?-genarians."

"Sexa-. Speaking of sexay, they've got more to learn."

"'Bout Slayage in mini-skirts. But I can't teach that with those veins on my thighs." Buffy will flex her fist, watching Slayers in waiting. "It's their turn, now. You and I," she'll recall, "we've made our beds."

"Yeah," Faith'll agree. "End of the road. But you died, and how many years've passed? Little Miss Muffet can still kick that spider's ass."

I am lame, well for many reasons, but one of them being that I am so goddamn lazy that when femmenerd linked to this a few weeks back I actually bookmarked it to read later even though it is only 100 words long. Yay! That's like total and supreme slackerhood, yo.

Anyhoo, I have some sort of OCD about leaving feedback even if it is years later. So here goes, yay! Congratulations on completing your first drabble! 100 hundred word limit? Dude, I could never get there. It takes me like 176.5 words just to tell someone my name. You totally kicked ass, I would have never known it was your first time.

The future tense here was interesting to me. It really gave a dreamlike quality to it. I liked. "It's their turn, now. You and I," she'll recall, "we've made our beds." Ooh! I adore that flashback to the dreams of the past. Cool. I love the thought of Buffy and Faith being all older and cranky and kicking back about old times. It feels to me like all of the tension from their relationship would surely drain away as the years went on. I think they would make good gossip and 'bitch to each other' friends. Wonderful thoughts here! I really enjoyed and I'm so impressed that this is your first drabble. Congrats!

Apparently I'm even lamer. You left this comment a couple days before I left on a trip, but I had it all saved up to reply to and didn't (because I'm so goddam lazy) and then when I got back kinda forgot. But I kept the comment notification! I'm a worse slacker than you. I win! Because I have the same kinda ocd about replying to comments. So, thanks!

Glad the flashback to the dreams worked for you. And yeah, I just loved the image of them at last able to be friends--and old crumudgeonly ladies who snarked behind their hands at everyone. I love B/F but I have a hard time believing in them being happy together unless lots of time has passed.

Thanks again.
