They play a game. It's a respite from the boredom, a battle of wills, a thrill, a jump, a fall. It's corruption; and it tastes so sweet. (Sheriarty slash)

Rupert and Jenny's date takes an unexpected turn. And we all learn the perils of americanisms. And pants.

During 'Chosen', Angel and Spike snark, only it leads to decidedly other things.

Serenity asks River to give Kaylee some help.

AKA: "Angel and Cordy play house". Remember that final, pretty scene at the end of 'Provider', where Angel and Cordy lie on his bed, baby Connor nestled all snug between them? Well, this is the events of later that night.

(Series 3, though no mention of the Darla thing, or Gru) The pain is getting worse by the day and it's getting harder to fight, but when Cordy has a dream about her own mortality, Angel makes her see that death doesn't matter.

Femslash! Buffy and Faith like to role-play... Mostly drabbles, these are fragments from their relationship, as told through their... games.

(Sort of follow up to 'Darkness') In a world where all else becomes bathed in blood and death, one always stands. He stands so she can hold him tight and wish life and Hell away. So every night she wanders in, tears spilling over onto pale skin, to the one place where the darkness shies away.

A dream during Faith, Hope, and Trick. It's hard to tell in dreams, sometimes, whether you're alive or dead. Breathing in the sleep and ashes, touch the realms that lay between; ghosts and heroes line up to dance.

A fragile Slayer with a murderous appetite comes across a broken Vampiress plagued with visions and searching for a lost 'childe', unaware they've lived lives in parallel. This is when Dana (from Angel Series 5) met Drusilla.

Buffy sends a chipped Spike on an errand to Angel Investigations... Things happen, Cordy is scarred for life. Set around Angel Season 2 and early Buffy Season 5.

Sometimes her nightmares seep into wakefulness

Takes place during 'Moss and the German'. Title says it all, I think.

This is my power, to not let them take me. The PTB step in to give Fred one final choice as Illyria begins to consume her.

Wilson muses after the dinner scene in "Love is Blind" (I promise this one isn't depressing!)

Our Jayne isn't scared of anything...Right?

It had been three months since Wilson had given up and gone running into the big bright light... Gregory House gave up his life so his best friend wouldn't have to spend his last moments alone. And now he is a ghost. What do ghosts do? They haunt the living, and this one has a promise to keep.

Out in the black, the Reavers are hunting... But River knows what Jayne's really afraid of...

"The girl's been crying for some time now but she keeps pushing us away. She only wants to talk to the Captain." Set post 'Objects in Space' but pre movie. Ever wondered why, after River presented herself as a risk to everyone aboard, Mal refused to leave Simon and River to fend for themselves in the big bad Verse? This is how I think he came to that decision. It's about home.
