@jennyorjanna / starter call
“------------ Why?”
Three letters. It was the only word she was able to string together; her only coherent thought. She’d had many over the last twenty-four hours, but all of them had been fleeting. From one theory to the next, her mind was abuzz. Floating in and out of consciousness, each thought more damning than the last.
The devastation, though omnipresent, had subsided momentarily. Long enough for one emotion to grip her with its talons: anger. Angry at herself for allowing this to happen. Angry at Angel for changing, even if it hadn’t been his choice. Angry at Angelus for even existing. But most of all, her anger was directed towards Jenny.
Buffy and Angel may have been the one to dance, but Jenny choreographed the routine.
She trusted her. Trust for a slayer was hard to come by, but when that slayer was Buffy, it was even more unattainable. Putting her faith in the wrong hands had always led to someone getting hurt, but she hadn’t expected the betrayal to come from Jenny. Because Giles was a surrogate father to her, knowing his feelings for the woman caused the blade in her back to scrape against the vertebra.
The spark in her green eyes was replaced by unshed tears. Weakness and vulnerability, more than ever, needed to be avoided at all costs. It was what got her into this mess in the first place; the things that took him away from her, from the world. She didn’t have the right to give into her feelings right now when, had she done that before, he’d still be here.
Wouldn’t be terrorizing the town, her... the other people in her life she loved. None of it.
She couldn’t be weak again. Never again. She’d once confessed that her emotions gave her power, a fact that rang true. Like everything else in her life, however, it was a power she no longer wanted. Her chest rises and falls slowly, a deep inhale before her lips part once more.
“I just need to know why.”

FAITH.
( @flunkedwritten )
“ y’know what i’m thinking, b ? ” moving away from buffy’s side, she skips a few steps ahead, turning back on her heel with a grin. “ i say we dust some vamps, skip the weapons training with giles, & convince your mom to order indian food for dinner. i’m getting cravings. ”
Her pace is lazy, mind and heart miles away until the mention of food brings her racing back. The corners of her lips upturned, the blonde considers the proposition laid before her. “You know,” she begins, stake tucked safely back into the waist of her jeans, “I think that might be the best idea you’ve ever had.” Guilt is there, looming above her like the storm clouds Sunnydale so seldom seen, but the growl of her stomach wins over.

‘ i found a liquor store and i drank it. ’ (from Spike)
———— SUPERNATURAL SENTENCE STARTERS / @beautifulpcople
The scrunch of her nose is completely involuntary, but necessary. Her eyes slowly drink in the sight of him, disheveled and slightly wobbly. As far as Spike’s Greatest Hits went, this wasn’t number one. Gently, she bobs her head up and down. “So I can smell,” she says. “Is it possible to get drunk from smelling too much liquor? Because I can already feel a massive hangover coming on because of all,” a hand motions in front of him, “… this.”
