Insp. Challenge #11 - Who Am I?

[CrystalCheyenne]

So, this is my Inspirational Challenge #11. I won't give much more than this pic, so work with it.

What comes into your mind when you see this pic and read the text?
You have so much freedom to decide what kind of story this could be...




What's the timeline?

Who kidnapped her? And why?

How did he find her?

TIP: This is a BTVS / Harry Potter crossover

:DThis looks interesting. I might give this a shot after I finish the PC sequel I'm writing.

[CrystalCheyenne]

I like to read BTVS/HP crossovers, but I'm kinda sick and tired to read those fics where Buffy is Harry's sister or aunt, and she was kidnapped or believed she was dead.

Don't get me wrong, there are lots of those 'Potter's lost sibling / relative' fics I love, but nowadays there are too much of them.

So, this is kinda a therapy fic to fix that problem. So let's make Buffy to be Oliver's sister. Easily fixed! ;D

i REALLY like this idea. I think with all of the Harry/Buffy long lost sister/aunt/cousin stories are just getting boring. This one is different and hey Oliver is cute and never in very many stories so...I Like. ;D

[Goddessa39]

This sounds cool. It couls always take place in late S2 or something, so he contacts her post-Angelus or post-B2 and everything is going crazy. The angst and stuff would just be getting bigger and bigger. But how would he know where she was? If she was his twin, they might have some kind of connection or something so he felt her distress or something... I hope someone tkaes this one on.

[CrystalCheyenne]

So Oliver contacts her, but why now? Okay maybe he senses her distress, but if he has known about Buffy for whole his life, why haven't he contacted her before?

If his parents haven't told about Buffy, and he senses her distress, does he know what is really happening?

Hmmm... If Oliver is Buffy's twin and the timeline of this fic is S2, they both are 17 and Oliver is still in Hogwarts, right? So maybe he starts to sense that something is wrong. He tell about his feelings to his parents, Dumbledore or someone else, and he wants to find out what is going on. Maybe his parents tell him about Buffy, and he of course knows exactly what the feeling means. And then he starts to search for her. Maybe locator spell? Or maybe he can communicate with Buffy other ways, or at least he tries and maybe he succeeds.

[Goddessa39]

You can always go for the 'dream thing.' like they start dreaming with eachother, courtesy of a spell, thier connection, or maybe the PTBs. It would be cool if it was only the two of them that really knew about each other. Maybe everyone else thought that Buffy was dead, or thier was some spell that made the wizarding world forget about her.

[Aly]

I just had this thought... what if Oliver knew something was wrong and could not quite place it... in other words, Buffy died at the end of Season One, and Oliver could feel it?

And, let's just say that Oliver was the one who was adopted and he happened to be taken into a Wizarding family. He wasn't supposed to be British at all (or Scottish), but picked up on the heritage as a baby. What if there was some psychic pull between the twins after her death that brought her back? What if she decides she wants to find out more? What if he decides he wants to find out more, and ends up meeting the family HE never knew existed POST Hogwarts?

There are so many different directions this could take.

[CrystalCheyenne]

Yes, you're right - there are so many different directions where this could be heading, and none of them are wrong.

[Goddessa39]

So many directions... so many things to do... so little time to make them be done... *sigh*... we need more hours in our 'do-what-we-want' day.

Maybe they always felt something was missing, but just ignored it. And when she died in S1, it registered a little shock or something, and they were both looking for each other, secretly of course. Maybe she finds him soon after 'Becoming Part 2' and things go on from there when Voldywart gets into the picture. ANd I am all for the adoptin thing-but I sure hope that that part has nothing to do with Voldy...

[Lena]

:DHmm...Oliver's about three or four years older than Harry, right? So when he was born, Voldemort's Pureblood propoganda's in full swing...let's assume the Woods are Pureblood, and remain neutral in the war to avoid retribution from families like the Malfoys and the Blacks, families that they know they might marry their offspring to, bcuz theres not many Pureblood families left. So one of the Wood daughters has a rebellious streak and has a fling with a Muggle man . She gets pregnant with twins and freaks out. She keeps her pregnancy secret, so she won't be attacked by Death-Eaters for being intimate with the "enemy". She puts the twins up for adoption...three years later, the war's over. She manages to track down Oliver-but somehow Buffy got lost in the adoption system. Like she went from family to family, moving to several different countries, until Joyce adopts her, changes her name, and changes her citizenship to American. Of course her biological mother's led on a wild chase across the world, but ultimately hits a dead end.
they probably use locator spells...but maybe the Hellmouth interferes and tampers with magic, even as far as LA? Or maybe they never thought to use a locator spell in different countries, and by the time they do, Buffy's moved to the Hellmouth, where all the magical intereferenceness messes up all the spells. But then how would Oliver find Buffy if the spells keep getting messed up??? ooh, so many questions... ;D

[CrystalCheyenne]

Ooh, new name! Welcome to the board, Lena!

You have quite nice ideas there. A little different than the others we have before for this fic. But it's good, of course.

Okay... How Buffy will find out about her adoption? And when? I have read too many fics where Buffy finds out about her adoption after her mom dies or after S2 when she is on run and someone comes to pick her up and tells her who she really is. Can we create something else for this? What would be a new and different way to tell her about the adoption?

[Goddessa39]

Hey Lena. Noce to have another person to get ideas switched and spread from.

Uhm, Buffy and him are twins right? Okay, so maybe in the spell, he uses blood in the spell or something to find her. The blood could locate her from there or be used as something to find her easier.

Unless this takes place during 'Anne' or something and she is out of Sunnydale. He could find her then. Maybe he could just sense her distress.

Maybe Buffy always knew she was adopted, or her father might have told her during 'Nightmares.'

[Aly]

Well, if Hank told Buffy in "Nightmares", Buffy would have just dismissed it as something her father would have told her because it was her worst nightmare. Well, her worst nightmare is about to come true...

If both Oliver and Buffy were sold to the highest bidder, it would make sense that their blood would bring them back. I still believe that there would be a connection between her death at 16 (at the hands of the Master) and their eventual "bonding".

[Lena]

thanks for the welcome! ;D
I totally agree with you on the twin-connection thing. A spell using blood would probly work. Maybe Oliver's mother told him about his twin sister but they can't contact the Ministry to get help finding Buffy-cuz obviously ppl like Lucius Malfoy will find out. And maybe blood spells are banned by the Ministry cuz its "dark magic" and so illegal...so Oliver can't get any help from them. So when he "feels" Buffy die then come back to life, he decides to do the blood spell, despite it being illegal...and manages to pinpoint her location to somewhere around LA.
