What's the difference between a trip and a journey?

Guys, it's my IWRY day!! I always love when this happens!! Multiple series of exclamation points!!

Title: Hope Springs
Author: Fluff

Summary: "When will it be enough?” she asks, but there is no reply, and she stands alone amongst the stars." Half a decade after Chosen, Buffy risks everything to protect the thing she loves most.
Pairing: Buffy/Angel

Rating: PG
Word count: 14875
Spoilers: All of Buffy and Angel to be safe, but nothing particularly specific other than a couple of references to Chosen and Damage

A/N: This story is my frilled shark fic, so named because frilled sharks have been known to have gestational periods of three and a half years, which is how long it has taken for me to finish it (the first draft I have is from 2009 and Ren's name was Molly). So, many, many thanks to my midwives: Bean, who almost undoubtedly read the first two or three drafts of this back in high school; Kairos, who was so encouraging when I was trying to get my mojo going while I was away in Israel; and MoragLee, who betaed for me (AKA talked me down from the ledge) now that I'm in college.

Title from Alexander Pope and summary from The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. Few characters are mine.

(It would be unbelievably sweet and awesome of you to review this)

Title: Beautifully Irrational
Author: fluffernutter8
Rating: PG
Fandom: BTVS/ATS
Pairing: Buffy/Angel, implied Spike/Faith (sorry, K, apparently that's the best the muse would do.)
Summary: A Buffy and Angel future involving pregnancy, paranoia and peanut butter.
Notes: A very, very belated wishlist fic for kairosimperfect. Happy holidays, a month late, K. Unbetaed, at least for now. Hopefully no terrible errors. Title from a quote by Bill Cosby: "Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit."

( Make way for fic! )

Title: Reflection
Author: Fluff
Rating: PG-12 (Vague mentions of sex.)
Wordcount: 709
Disclaimer: I is being a person of the womanly gender, not a man as is teh Hart Hanson. I is also not a company like Fox.
Feedback: This is me being serious for a second. Do you know how much it makes my day for someone to take 10 seconds to tell me that they read my fic and/or that they liked it? Seriously, all you need to type it "good job" or "nice fic" or "that was semi-amusing for a small portion of my life" or even just ":-)". Those responses are all typed out for you- all you have to do it copy and paste them into a response box. 20 seconds, max, and it will make my day, I promise you.
Dedication: This one is being for zerodetorres from the long ago fic post (still four spaces!). Prompt was Booth/Brennan, regrets. I'm not sure I like it, but I hope you do! Sorry it took so long. I'll be getting to the rest of these stories soon. Promise!!

( To the future! )

Prompt: Pat

“I'm Joshua.”

“Hello, Joshua.”

“I'm four.”

“Aren't you precious?”

A pat on the head.

“How old are you?”

The patting stops.

His face turns serious.

“My mommy's a vampire slayer.”

“What an imagination!”

“She told me what to do if I see one.”

“Really?”

“One- No coming in. Two- Call for help.”

Deep breath into small lungs.

“No need to-”

Voice from behind.

“I'd say there's a need.”

Dust on the porch.

“Daddy!!”

Later, the parents sweep off their porch.

“They were looking at him like...”

“Food?”

“No, like a favorite grandchild.”

“Not even vamps can resist those eyes.”

Hug.
