BtVS / Sarah Jane Adventures - Support Group

[ffutures]

Quite enjoyed last night's Dr. Who spinoff, the opening episode of the Sarah Jane Adventures. So I thought I'd try to get in nice and early with some fanfic. Lots of spoilers! BtVS crossover Drabble...


100-word BtVS crossover with The Sarah Jane Adventures, a Doctor Who spinoff. Major spoilers for both shows.

Support Group

By Marcus L. Rowland

"It's about your son," said the American girl. "You know he's not real, don't you?"

"He's...?" said Sarah Jane Smith.

"No navel, and you faked his adoption records."

"What are you suggesting?"

"He's a magical construct. Maybe you wished for him, maybe a spell put him there. But he's not real."

"Magical?" she said incredulously.

"I'm here to help," said the girl. "It happens a lot, people get into these things then run into problems. We've set up a support group for the families."

"Without admitting anything," said Sarah Jane, "perhaps I'd better have some contact details, miss...?"

"Summers. Dawn Summers."

Heh, nice to know Dawn is reaching out to others. I want Sarah Jane's alien detector watch to go 'bleep' while she's talking, though.

Nice idea, but not in 100 words...

Doesn't Dawn have a navel?

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

She does - but Sarah Jane's kid doesn't

[vitruvian23.livejournal.com]

As long as Sarah Jane's kid isn't a symptom of the same problem that the Scarlet Witch's kids were...

???

Heh. 8-)

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[lastscorpion.livejournal.com]

LOL! How cute!

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

I'm not 100% sure Dawn would use the R word, except for shock value, but I can certainly see her getting involved in such a group if someone started it.

The Scarlet Witch's kids.... oh dear Lord, the pain.

Long ago in Marvel comics, the Scarlet Witch married the Vision who was a robot. Somehow they had children, mainly due to a usage of the Scarlet Witch's power to alter probabilities. These twins were later on revealed to apparently be not real, to actually be missing parts of a big demon, and were promptly ret-conned away. The Scarlet Witch incidentally went a little nuts over this, but seemed to fully recover.

About 2-3 years ago, someone innocently reminded Wanda of her kids, and she went totally bug-shit nuts and basically ripped the Avengers apart, causing at least 2 deaths, the destruction of Avengers mansion and the disbanding of the Avengers. For an encore, she used her probability powers to change the entire world to one where mutants ruled, and for the show stopping finale, put everything back and promptly wiped out most of the mutant population around the whole world.

Oh, and her kids? Have since appeared in a current book called Young Avengers.

To put it mildly, some fans are not happy.

How long before mini-Jack from Stargate turns up? *grin*

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Off the top of my head we have mini-Jack, Dawn, Anya (OK, human originally but not as Anya), Jasmine (magical pregnancy and not really human), Glory (as Ben), Connor (something very odd about that pregnancy plus he was retconned into his new identity), Darla (that human - vamp - dead - human - vamp - pregnant vamp - dead - ghost lifeline qualifies, I think), and I suspect the baby at the end of Lois & Clark S4 if they'd ever made S5.

Right - I had heard about this but I think it made my brain hurt so much I tried to forget...

sigh
My DSL connection has been down since Boxing Day, and with everyone on vacation this time of year it's taking forever to get it working again. So I'm limited to modem speeds, and I haven't been able to download the latest Torchwood, or the Sarah Jane Adventures, yet.

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Sarah-Jane was quite good fun, Torchwood was needlessly apocalyptic and messianic, not to mention a little silly...

[paratti.livejournal.com]

Great fun.

Martha Kent's heading the Kansas branch then?

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me.

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Forgot to say, if it doesn't get fixed quick let me know, in a pinch I can bung you a DVD by snail mail.

[magicamethyst80.livejournal.com]

Very well done, would love to see more, especially what might happen if Sarah Jane were to meet Giles. How would one explain his resemblance to Mr. Finch?

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Here via the crossovers newsletter - and I just had to comment. This is *adorable* and totally spot-on for both characters and the concepts. Squee.

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Many thanks - glad you enjoyed it.

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Ah well... I'm still annoyed that they didn't cast ASH as The Master, and the Finch thing hadn't occurred to me. Maybe if I write a sequel...

[magicamethyst80.livejournal.com]

Sequel would be good, although you woul need to come up with an explanation for why the two looked exactly alike. After the initial awkwardness, I think Sarah Jane/Giles could actually make an interesting combination.

In addition I would be very curious to see who else is in the support group for children who are "magical constructs."

I certainly encourage you to take this beyond a drabble.
