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."

OMFG YOU DID IT and it's awesome!

I LOVE that when I told you future--you went ALL out.

And the future tense--you are so eclectic, dahlink.

You did it--your first drabble! *claps*

*Psssst* You so *know* that Buffy and Faith as Slayage teachers is my kink, right?

Awww, that's so sweet! I love that idea!

Eeeee, very nice. And I had all sorts of thoughts whizz through my mind about the spider - eight-legged demons, weaving time, etc.
Heee the future is there.

Omg. Suddenly - I see a world of 80 year old Faith and Buffy's living together with their like, fighting over whether or not Buffy can have cats or not and Angel and Spike being too afraid to play them at bingo 'cause last time the women got so angry at losing they beat the poor vampires over the head with sticks.

And Dawn would so totally bring Buffy cats anyway and Buffy would try to keep them in secret!

Lovely, lovely.

Oooooooh! You kicked butt with your first drabble. This is such a creative setting, and I love all the old dream reminders. Excellent!

[lynnenne]

I adore this. Completely awesome.

LOVE it. The Little Miss Muffet shout-out made it. That and Buffy still dying the grey. Awesome.

[lostakasha.livejournal.com]

Oh, I loved this. It was perfect ... and the ending choked me completely!

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

Very cool. Yay you!

See, I knew it was a twist when you had Buffy sagging. Because old Buffy would still be doing cardio and jassercise and would be too skinny instead of saggy.

I love this. Kind of dreamy, kind of snarky and their voices both on.

And I like thinking their still around, taking names all those years later.

Awesome first drabble!!! I love the future tense and the dialogue is awesome! I like the "ladies in training" and "Slayers in waiting". And of course the reference to the dream in Graduation is excellent!

I love these two together. I know the Miss Muffet reference, but my favorite image is "made our beds." In the episode where that dream appeared it was such a contrast, the two of them comfortably and companionably making the bed together after their fierce fight. Nice to recall it here.

Oh, I love this. That "We're sixty-whatsit?-genarians." is great--perfect Buffy voice in so few words. And, like everyone else, I love the ending.

God, old!Buffy/Faith is such a perfect idea, and one I'd never even thought of. Those old animosities fade away, even the guy-killing would seem funny like a weird dream they'd shared, prison-stories would contend with "cold dead seed" tales, it would just be awesome.

LOVE IT! Sexa -- speaking of sexay ...

awesome! I really like the tone and the rhythm as well. :)

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!
