    Summary

    Three and a half years after closing the Hellmouth, Faith is doing good. She’s living in Cleveland, taking care of her dog, and showing a new Slayer the ropes. There’s just one tiny problem. Buffy moved back in five months ago. And now the feelings she’s been (semi) successfully tamping down for years have been dragged straight back to the surface.

    Three and a half years after closing the Hellmouth, Buffy finally has a minute to breathe. She’s back in Cleveland, taking college classes during the day, taking turns guarding the Hellmouth at night, and even mentoring a new Slayer on the side. And then there’s the matter of Faith, who she just can’t seem to stop thinking about.

    Or: Buffy and Faith are living together. Things between them are better than ever (even though historically the bar has been in hell). Just as things start to shift into something new and terrifying and unknowable, an ancient artifact is stolen, and an angry God comes calling...

    Summary

    April doesn’t care. She doesn’t care that people can see her as her body moves seamlessly with someone whose name she doesn't know in a place where no one cares who she is. She leans in closer to the girl so she can smell her sweat and the sourness of beer on her breath and something else fresh and sweet and holy.

    Summary

    “April’s right,” Blair says, and in April’s ten years and eleven months on this planet, she’s not sure there’s a greater satisfaction than those two words right after each other. 

    “Thank you,” she says smugly. 

    “But!” Blair says, grinning, “our party is so going to be better than yours.”

    “Oh, you’re so on.”

    “Can we not?” Sterling asks. They both ignore her. 

    It becomes a sort of competition then, to see who can have the better party. All under the guise of good fun of course. But April will not lose.

    Summary

    “So you’re saying,” Hannah says, giggling, “if this kind of show suddenly got very queer, you’d go on one to piss off your dad.”

    April rolls her eyes, laughing. The girl on the TV takes off the guy’s shirt, while the cameras zoom in.

    “Sure, Hannah. If they ever make one of these tropical shows where they just hire hot dumb people to fuck, but for lesbians, which they won’t, I will be the first contestant to audition.”

    Or, Sterling and April both happen to be cast on the new season of Too Hot To Handle.
