BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER | 5.10 "Into the Woods"

[explosionshark]

hiii I just came here to say how much I love your fic body language, im only on chapter 3 but for me this is THE fuffy fic. seriously, as a lesbian, it makes me so happy to read a fic like that with two of my favorite characters ever. it's so complex, emotional and hot! it's insanely good 💞

wow thank you so much! i'm really proud of that fic, it makes me really happy that people are still discovering it and enjoying it. and i always really appreciate whenever someone takes the time to send a tumblr message or leave a comment on ao3 about it - really, really makes my day every time

you did not ask, but if you're looking for more to read after, here's a fic rec post i made like a year ago that i still really stand by.

i hope you enjoy the rest of the fic!

#this hurts me in the best way possible#tv: btvs#it just kills me to see how natural it is to them to be this close#but the reality was they never had this intimacy before this is all new to both of them#and for buffy to let herself be this vulnerable to ask for what she needs of some thats something she's never done#its such a tender moment via @userslayer

//Trimming it down.//

@systemadministratorclu

"No. I'm not even that good at Disc Wars, they just rig the game so I win. Not my idea, by the way."

-

Ark blinked before responding, "The Occupation touts your ability to derezz enemies, I even heard someone call you the Userslayer once. But, you're telling me that you've never taken a life? That's hard to believe. I don't like killing, but it's what I have to do to survive."

Open RP - Trapped (Compressed Space AU)

Ark tried not to think of the countless cycles that had passed while she had been stuck in compressed space, but it was hard not to.

It’s been so long since she’s seen anywhere but this place, and anyone besides herself.

After the Occupation had captured and rectified her, Tron had gotten his friend Able to help him rescue her. Able had been able to pull a few miracles and partially restore her, but the Occupation code moved fast and it was only a temporary solution.

They had quickly come up with the idea of sticking her in compressed space to stop the progress of the rectification and it didn’t take them long to set it up.

A few comforts had been placed here: a chair, a bed, and a datapad that was disconnected from the network.

No one and nothing could get in or out of this place, but Tron and Able had promised that they’d come back for her, once they had found a way to remove the Occupation code for good.

Considering how much time had passed since then, Ark wondered if finding a cure was impossible.

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Sunday, December 8th

BUFFY: Forget it. I'm not playing by anyone else's rules any more. (gets up) I'm done. She staggers drunkenly over to the table, opens the basket and tips it over, setting the kittens free. All the demons yell in protest. DEMON: Hey, I won those two! BUFFY: Be free, kittens! DEMON: They're getting away! Buffy turns and leaves as the demons frantically try to re-capture the kittens. The kittens run around under the table, meowing.
