[Fic] "Health Insurance" -- Buffy: the Vampire Slayer

[edenfalling]

I am doing a prompt-ficlet thing at the moment, and I am willing to keep going past five stories if anyone is interested.

This is the third one, for yggidee, to the prompt: Perhaps something lighthearted from Buffy? Xander being great? Set post-Chosen, but completely ignoring the season 8 comics. (675 words) [The slightly revised ff.net version is now up as well.]


Health Insurance


I use a broad interpretation of 'being awesome' -- emotional strength is just as important as physical strength, and often more widely applicable in real life. And since Xander is the 'normal' Scooby, well... *shrug* Somebody has to take care of the practicalities!

The idea of a mouth of hell in Cleveland is way too funny not to play with. And I figure that in the Buffyverse, anyone who staffs a blood bank with night access of any sort must either learn to believe in vampires really damn fast or die even faster. And that sort of jolt to a person's worldview is the kind of thing that makes people quit jobs (in addition, you know, lots of dead coworkers). Supernatural security guards seems like an obvious solution. *grin*

I... well, I never thought much about Shino as a person, but I have thought some about the Aburame as a clan (mostly because the idea of bugs in the bloodstream creeps the everliving shit out of me), and I am sure there are things to be said about Team 10, so... I'll try?

And that way, the slayers don't even have to go looking for vampires; vamps come right to them. *Has sudden urge to write Cleveland-based Buffyfic*

Trying is all I can ask. An if the muses aren't speaking to you on that subject, I can certainly understand -if lament- that. I just wish more awesome writers would find themselves really *inspired* to do fic for him- and also certain other characters- but if there's nothing there...well, it's usually pretty easy to tell when an author or writer wasn't really grabbed by their subject matter. I live in hope. ; )
