Jack's House of Buggery

The lovely LaT issued this spiffy cool Isn't It Iconic? challenge last month (see here for the original challenge) and, having fallen into a bit of a monofannish rut after the "While We Tell of yuletide Treasure" rareslash challenge, I decided an excuse to stretch my writing muscles would be a good thing.

I couldn't pick just two of my own icons to have a story written for, so I signed up to write two stories. (I'd say, foolishly, but I got them both done and they seem to have turned out all right.) Both my stories ran over the 750-word mark, but I did at least keep them under 1000.


Though I'm not certain of the origin of either of the icons rliz asked to have written for the challenge, they both had a Buffy femslash feel to me. In the end, though, the story I wrote for Rebecca Lizard was influenced most by this icon:



Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom, contains content some readers may find disturbing. PG-13 rating.

I had never written either BtVS or femslash before, so I got a real workout writing this. Thank-yous go out to adamlizz, fox1013, and pearl_o for soothing my nerves as I took new steps, and special acknowledgment to thete1 for advice that made the story work much better than it would have otherwise.

And here's the story. Same as the icon keyword, its title is: ( Split )
