This really got meta accidentally. I’m sorry, Buffy. And it’s not a perfect solution or perfect conversation which is going to keep bothering me, but then, that’s the point. It’s part of why Vincent and the Doctor was one of the Moffat-run episodes that was genuinely so good. There’s no ‘this will never turn up again’, ‘this is solved’. It’ll come back when you least expect it and blindside you. It’s learning to be okay again.

…the first animated series came out in 1987. Right on time for a six-year-old Xander to have watched it. that worked out better timing wise than something else I had to put off for a bit
Morden’s salute is actually from the Prisoner. Yes I’ve seen both. Yes, the Prisoner remake was…poor.
They can’t fully catch a break. Also, I really liked the Carnival of Souls book, though it has absolutely been long enough I only vaguely remember it.

( don't be afraid )

( in the aftermath )
(buffy and gibbs both posted someone as one of Leon’s neighbors)
“I mean, I get it, wanting to protect you, but you’re a grown man who can handle himself and—stop waggling your eyebrows at me, I’m trying to be mad on your behalf that apparently everyone I know can’t treat you like a mature adult.”
“They might have a reason to think I’m immature,” Leon points out reasonably, before adding, “And as annoying as it is, it’s probably going to come in useful now.”
“Argh.”
( in the words of admiral ackbar, it's a trap )
Most of Ashley’s existence is pain, right now. It’s hard to tell how long it’s been, but it feels like one or both grabbed her, like she’s on Leon’s couch right now.
“Babe. What’s that.” She can’t even be mad at the cutesy nickname. It feels like she’ll never be warm again.
The other—Redgrave, that’s it—sounds confused. “Oh, uh. Huh. That’s a thing that happened. You can bandage it in a bit. If I’m right, this is big, Leon. I don’t think it can wait.”
Ashley’s head is killing her. She whimpers.
“But she broke your hand.” She did what? It’s not like he has to shout.
“It’ll heal.” It’s too flippant, and she half wants to scold him, but she’s out again.
( Ashley's in the mood to be annoyed by everything )
