So, this is my Inspirational Challenge #30. I won't give much more than this pic, so work with it.
What comes into your mind when you look at this pic and read the text? What do you think?
What's the timeline?
When she meets the Family, who does she likes / dislikes?
What happens during the visit?
TIP: This is a BTVS AU [/color][/center] |

You know, once upon a time I wrote something like this, only to half-finish it and it was Buffy under the protection of Darla.
My family is threatening to disown me unless I stop spending all these late nights online, but it is quite fun, since my little girl is up to entertain me as well.
Anyways, a few ideas about this little image...
The timeline is... the Dopplegangland world in a total AU setting. Sunnydale still exists and Faith, preferably, is the current Slayer, working hard to keep the town falling to darkness. Imagine her surprise when she realizes that the other Slayer, the dark Slayer, is in town...
Spike and Dru come to the Master's new warehouse, the one that transforms bodies into blood. Buffy is given the chance to explore and finds a whole new world she never knew about. Angelus is asked to babysit the younger girl (I think she can be around sixteen at this age) and loses her.
Buffy meets her fellow Slayer and begins to learn that she has spent the past fifteen years in the hands of the enemy. She is then forced to make a choice between her family and what could become her future. Will she betray her parents? Will she get Angelus into trouble? Will she literally "let the sunshine in"? And why won't she stop singing Celine Dion?
As for who she likes and who she doesn't... I'd say she's a Daddy's girl, so Spike is definitely her favorite. Dru is her mother and she's rather protective of her, as in she'll kick the ass of whoever calls her mother a nutjob or whatever insane jokes they can crack about her. She thinks she can get away with everything with Angelus and has no respect for his authority. And despite the fact that Darla is the oldest, she sees Darla as the big sister she never had. The Master, of course, spoils her beyond belief.
Currently I have selected one challenge to move ahead with, along with everything else I have to write. Maybe someday I can take one of my own ideas. But, once again, this would be a freebee.

I like the looks of this one. It is very different and I like different.

Yes, different... but maybe it is a different type of crossover... SGC: they get stuck on one of the other worlds for osme reason, and one of the teams find Buffy, and she chooses to play 'miss puppy dog eyes.'
because of her odd background, maybe she can talk to Mr. Gordo like Dru does to Miss Edith.

I had to comment on that SGC thing. I am trying ever-so-desperately to break that little psyche and so far she has not been abandoned on any planet and the only puppy-dog eyes she makes is to her pet goat Wuafu.
Anyway, that would be hilarious to see Buffy making little conversations with a stuffed pig. It would be even more bonus points if the pig talked back (they ARE living on a Hellmouth, you know).
Oh, and the goat thing was a joke. I actually had a pet goat once named Wuafu. It is one of the pleasant things about growing up on a farm.

Talking to Mr. Gordo? Definitely excellent idea! BTW, where did she get that stuffed pig? Did Spike or Dru give it to her? This may not be the most important question ever, but I just wanted to know where the pig came from...  This challenge is non-crossover, but I kinda like that Goddessa's SG-crossover idea. It has potential... Let's think about this... Maybe some magical wormhole kicked her to another planet when she was young. There is no other people around, so she has to be old enough to survive alone (and old enough to remember that Dru and Spike are her mommy and daddy). And of course Mr. Gordo is there with her. Maybe that's the reason why she is talking to the pig - she is alone and she doesn't have another person to talk with. So, she lives there for years - and then she is about 15 or 16. At the same time Miss Edith starts talking about Buffy, where she is, where they have to go that they can get her. This means trip to Colorado and SGC. They get the control of the Stargate (but they don't kill all the people because they don't know how to operate the damn thing, so they need their help). And then they travel through the Stargate, and... blah, blah, blah... And they lived happily ever after. So that was it. It is Stargate crossover. I have Spike and Dru there. And Buffy of course is talking to Mr. Gordo. Yay me! |

The SG1 thing was just a suggestion-in no way does it have to be there... but it opens other ideas...
Anyway, I like my idea with Mr. Gordo. She could be stranded somewhere, and maybe Mr. Gordo and Miss Edith are chatting or something, and Dru is going all loony about how they need to go and get 'little miss ball of sunshine' *hint*hint* and things go from there.
Where did she get him:the story could be going back to there in the plot. Maybe there was a little piece of the past between one of the vamps and her. Or maybe the whole fic plot is on how certain dolls and things can talk to psychics and children...

I think adding the Stargate thing would get a little too confusing for my poor brain to synthesize.
I should try finding my own story and finishing it. It would sort of go along with this, if it were fixed. I just have to finish my others first, I think.
Oh, and Angel is more like her grandfather... it would make a really weird scenario for any romance. But, that is just me, probably.

It does soundd kind of nasty. But like other fics explain-a vampires 'family' could be anywhere frome a childe ot a childe to a master to a minions to a grandchilde and so one...
Again-the SGC thing was just and idea for that-you could always involve Buffy with Lily or something.
But I think someone should take this with my Mr. Gordo ideas. I just love using the little stuffed pink pig...
