Fanfic: BtVS / NCIS - A Happy Event

[ffutures]

100-word BtVS / NCIS crossover Drabble - all characters belong to various corporate entities who are not me; this story may not be distributed on a profit-making basis. This answers my own challenge A Lonely Jew at Christmas though I was hoping someone would write a longer story...

Warning - character death.


A Happy Event

by Marcus L. Rowland
"Buffy, did Ziva just shoot Andrew?"

"Looked like it to me, Dawn."

"Any idea why?"

"Turns out Jonathan was her cousin, Andrew murdered him, and Ziva holds grudges."

"Shouldn't we do something?"

"Such as?"

"Help her bury him?"

"Naaah... she's strong, she can take care of her own bodies."

"It's hard ground."

"Don't worry, Xander's getting the mechanical digger."

"What about a burial service?"

"Willow can say a few words, she's a Wicca priestess."

"Ceremony once he's dug in, party tonight?"

"Works for me."

"Did Andrew just moan?"

There was another shot.

"I've got to get me one of those..."

End.

For those unfamiliar with Buffy canon, Jonathan Levinson was murdered by Anderew Wells for unknown reasons, possibly as part of an attempt to resurrect murderer Warren Meers. Andrew was never punished for his crimes. This seemed an appropriate response...

Very cool.

As much as I enjoy Andrew as a character, this is definitely appropriate.

Thanks! I had a much more complicated story in mind involving McGee's jet pack obsession and the packs used by Warren and Andrew in their armoured car robbery, but sloth intervened...

Pretty good, but the narrative line about the shot stuck out a bit compared to the rest of the story which was pure dialogue. Can you replace that with Buffy saying something instead?

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

It seems more appropriate since neither of them is doing the shooting, but I'll see what I can do. Maybe "Was that another shot?"

Just a note, on your note. As far as I can tell, Andrew wasn't trying to resurrect Warren. We don't really know what he thought he was going to accomplish by killing Jonathan.

OK, thanks - I'll edit it.
