This is a pre-series Buffyverse story in ten parts, all drabbles. Wrote it all in a couple of hours yesterday, because I was tired of scrolling through the stuff on my external hard-drive.

I really need to lose my internet more often...


TITLE: Promises Made to a Lady I. Death in Life
AUTHOR: kerkevik_2014
LENGTH: 100 words
CHARACTERS: All OC until the last couple of parts, unless you're paying attention of course.
SUMMARY: The story is about previous watchers and slayers, or seems to be, and is set between the fall of France in 1940 and just subsequent to the liberation of Paris in 1944.

I. Death in Life (May 1940)

Gustav found Emilie in an abandoned barn close to Dunkerque.
His Slayer had been killed by the leech, that was unmistakable.
He buried her deep; making sure her remains could not be misused.
She was Alsatian; he technically an enemy now, but he was able to give her the Catholic service.
They had that in common; she would have wanted it, and he owed his Slayer that.
Their tenure had always been stormy; his stubbornness had them part in anger.
Sending her to her death.
Picking up its tracks, Gustav made for Dunkerque; only vengeance on his mind now.

Anyone got any pro-PP icons; especially an "I Stand with Planned Parenthood" icon?

This is a pre-series Buffyverse story in ten parts, all drabbles; set during World War Two. Managed to write it all in a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon, because I was tired of scrolling through my external hard-drive.

II. False Freedoms (June 1940)

He watched shoreward as it disappeared over the horizon.
The tiny boat Gustav had been rescued from, sunk by his own people's gunfire.
Its eyes never left him either.
Of that he was certain.
Eyes closed, he could still see it. Too still, and far too heavily bandaged to be anything Human.
Its escape had been prevented; that was some small comfort.
He could still keep his vow.
Gustav thanked his parentage; practicing his rusty Quebecois in his head as he drank the awful englander tea.
Only when it had disappeared entirely did he turn his gaze away from Dunkerque.

kerkevik_2014: (The Story's Not Done)
This is the third in a ten part, all drabbles, pre-series BtVS story; this one covers the greater part of the war. Wrote all ten in a short few hours on sunday afternoon, after I got tired of scrolling through my external hard-drive.
Thinking maybe I should run out of internet bandwidth more often...

III. Blind Determinations (Spring 1941-Spring 1944)

Time after time he got wind of it when he was dropped into France.
Always close, but never close enough; not enough to risk the missions he was on.
Stories was all her heard; only cursed stories; never enough surety in them.
Rumours.
Stories of Germans; sometimes collaborators, disappearing mysteriously; agents rescued from dire need and returned to safety.
But he remembered well its face; that scar, the sneer in its voice; his Slayer lying broken in that barn.
One night he was forced to bed down in the very barn where the leech had killed her.
Her Watcher minded too well.

This is the fourth of the ten-part series I wrote in a relatively short few hours on Sunday afternoon while internet-less and unable to find anything to capture my mind on my external hard-drive. All ten parts are drabbles, and were written as I was learning the story myself.
Perhaps I should lose my internet more often...


TITLE: Promises Made to a Lady IV. Eye of the Mountain Dew
AUTHOR: kerkevik_2014
LENGTH: 100
CHARACTERS: Two new ones; a new Slayer; replacing the one who replaced Gustav's lost Slayer, and a Watcher who may, or may not be (in my head), be related to a series canon watcher.

IV. Eye of the Mountain Dew (May 1944)

Whispers out of Watcher Headquarters reached Gustav early in Forty-Four.
He saw the Slayer himself in late May. She was Canadian-Indian, set to hunting the same leech as himself.
He nearly cursed in German on hearing she was going into Utah Beach; try as he might, he had no chance of being attached to her unit.
He had to calm himself with the knowledge that he would be between her and their target, with ample time to intercept them.
Determined to be there when it was dusted; confident of his tracking abilities, he kept his eye on the real prize.
