Buffista Fic: It Could Be Plot Bunnies
Where the Buffistas let their fanfic creative juices flow. May contain erotica.
Bitchy Fic should be NAFDA. I'll mention it in BureacIcan'tspellitanyway.
It already is NAFDA. It's on the slug.
I just looked at it on the main page and didn't see it! God. I need newer glasses.
Yeah, I thought it was NAFDA.

Totally gratuitous gloat coming

Go team connie!
A bunny got out and twitched its little nose at me. I don't have a plot, just a setting and some circumstances. And an opening ...
The shower was back along the corrider, around three corners, and over a pile of rubble. They didn't bother with a curtain or door or anything. Everybody had seen everything. Wes paused anyway in the gap of the wall to observe.
The sun shone down through the broken second story window, and by the steam, Harry had gotten the boiler running again. Light danced in the billows surrounding Xander Harris' body as he scrubbed his battered, scarred, lovely body.
"Save me some of that hot water, please," Wes said.
Xander tossed his shaggy hair out of his eyes and smiled over his shoulder. "Simpler to share."
"You know the rules. No screwing in the shower, it's wasteful of water."
Xander held a soapy hand to his chest and blinked large, innocent eyes. "Screwing? Did *I* suggest screwing? No, Mr. Wyndam-Pryce, you were the one mentioning screwing. For shame." He turned back into the water, virtuously soaping up every bit and rinsing quickly.
Wes slid the scabbarded longsword off his shoulder and leaned it against the wall, next to Xander's axe. The mini-crossbow, matched Glocks, and ammo belt were carefully piled on the floor. The clothes and boots were unceremoniously shucked. He crept across the broken tiles of the floor towards the shower corner. As he reached across Xander's shoulder for the soap, though, he heard the younger man counting.
"33 ... 34--35 seconds, Wes, a new record!"
Disobeying the rules for a moment, Wes kissed Xander quiet, then let the warmth seep into his muscles as he washed Xander's hair before letting the other man tend him. Shared showers were more efficient.
