by Red Wolf"Are you certain I can't convince you to come home?"
Dawn shook her head. There wasn't much point. Giles was taking Buffy on a Slayer retreat and, as much as he refused to admit it, Spike really didn't want to be alone. She'd done her part in keeping her sister from killing Spike, talking through her problems was more Giles bailiwick.
"Have fun aligning Buffy's chakras or doing the hokey pokey or whatever it is you do on a spiritual quest."
Giles sighed. You took part in one ceremony involving shaking a magical gourd and you were branded for life.

*has to laugh* I always did love the scene you refer back to... and always look forward to more of the alleyverse. Enjoyable as ever! — via LiveJournal

It has got to take the mystique away from your highly important ritual when it looks like a childhood dance. Poor Watcher — via LiveJournal

Thought it would be nice to take a break from the angst and play with the humour for one of the challenges — via LiveJournal

*is vastly amused*
Will we get to see Giles's reaction to this in more detail? Not just to the "Buffy's a mess" situation, but to the "Buffy is abusing Spike in particular" bit — via LiveJournal — posted by Elizabeth Culmer at 10.04.2004 12:53 AEST |

Don't know yet. The challenges I can usually work in the direction I want to go.
The muse, on the other hand, is still miffed that I rejected its suggestion to kill Buffy and send Spike, Dawn and Tara to the crypt naked.

*shakes head* I think I'm a bit out of my league here. I think that I am more of a Redwolfoz fan than a Buffy one. I don't think I kept up enough with the series to get the allusion, though I have to say, it was pretty damn funny anyway — via LiveJournal — posted by Dawn S at 10.04.2004 13:36 AEST |

I'm glad that made it through as funny without further explanation, but if you're curious it's from Intervention in season five:
"A guide, but no food or water?" asks Buffy. "So it leads me to a sacred place, and then, a week later, it leads you to my bleached bones?"
"Buffy, please," says Giles. "It takes more than a week to bleach bones." They exchange a smile. Buffy asks what this ritual entails.
Giles is a little embarrassed by that. "I, uh... jump out of the circle, then I jump back in it, and then, um... I shake my gourd."
"I know this ritual!" says Buffy. "The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the hokey-pokey and turn themselves around!"
"Go and quest," says Giles. Buffy doesn't move. She just stands and looks at him. Giles knows that she isn't going to go until she sees this, so he jumps out of the circle, jumps back in, and shakes his gourd.
"And that's what it's all about," says Buffy — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 10.04.2004 13:37 AEST |

The muse has an even shorter attention span than I do, please try not to distract the muse with shiny things or I'll never finish the Alley!verse:
Muse: (bouncing off the walls) Woohoo! See, didn't I tell you naked Spike, Dawn and Tara would be a good idea.
Me: (gritting teeth) We really need to wrap up the story. Besides, how on earth do you plan to get them in the same place and naked? It won't work.
Muse: (sulking and muttering) I don't see why you insist on things making sense when there could be perfectly good smut.
Me: I suck at smut and you're avoiding the question.
Muse: Oh, all right. Spike can wear leather pants.
Me: You really need to do something about that leather fetish.
Muse: Well, I would, but you won't let me play with Spike, Dawn and Tara. Look I even have toys.
Me: What does the purple jelly thing do? (The muse turns it on and demonstrates) Nevermind — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 10.04.2004 16:31 AEST |

I think maybe you should put all of these Ally!verse drabbles in one fic, because it's hard to comment on a non-oneshot drabble thing — via fanfiction.net

Why would you call this a chapter? Smush ten of these together and save us the trouble of clicking next. On the bright side, though, it's an excellent story and funny as hell (in the good way)! — via The Slayer's Fanfic Archive
