Summary
this story is created from inspiration provided by a jivey story combined with a swise and allie story (fingers crossed that i got the "inspired by" links correct!). the storylines in both Roses and OINT are so compelling and affirming and while wildly different, equal in encouraging hope that we can all find the connections we need if we are open to new ideas. mostly about the world and how it works, but about ourselves as well.
anyway. this is the Charlie and Nick from 'Give me thorns' but the David and Olly from 'Oh I Need This.' as seen through a series of conversations between adorable brothers Olly and Charlie as each of their individual relationships take shape and progress.
i figured out EXTREMELY quickly that i am entirely unable to write the characters in the way they actually already exist in their separate worlds, so i send all apologies to the original authors. i still was entirely and completely inspired by your universes and possibilities, but it turns out i inhabited them with my much, much more ridiculous versions of the characters. anyone reading this who hasn't read those original works first, maybe you should rethink the order of your plans...

Summary
At 19, three years after he had been called by the Watcher’s Council to begin his training, Olly feels like an old hand. He can swear he’d seen it all — potions that turn people into fish, ancient vampires you need a ten-foot-pole to dust, demons who enslave and kill people in a variety of more or less creative ways. They’ve all put a new meaning to the big “Slay Queen” poster he’s had over his bed since he came out at 13.
Somehow, it still amuses him when new baddies first realise that the seemingly helpless twink in front of them can give them a good tumble and throw them back to whatever dimension of hell they came from.
Without interrupting the quiet of the night, a figure steps into the small circle of light around him, putting Olly out of his boredom-induced misery. He’s alert now — ready for whatever the darkness throws at him.
Or: Olly is ready for anything, but he's not ready for the new vampire in town. No knowledge of the Buffyverse is required to read this fic.
