Untitled


A moment of sand and sun and Angel’s arms encircling her waist, chin dipped into the curve of her throat; he whispers into Buffy’s ear: "If I were blind, I would see you."

He dissolves. Blown away by the salty breeze and the sharp rise of guilt, Angel waits in the waves, she knows.

Sitting there, on the beach, smothered by the scent of brine and rot, Buffy watches the tide until she can't resist the pull of the moon or the sound of her name whispered on the wind.

Forever, she thinks, and walks into the ocean at daybreak.

Undertow


Worms between her toes and seaweed in her hair. Buffy beneath the waves like Ophelia with lungs full of salt and froth; crabs skitter from the hollow of her mouth when disturbed. She feeds the fish. Luca Brasi in gossamer chains.

She refused to live without him. Put a sword through his gut for the honor of her kind and to save the world, again.

That last kiss, tear-stained, tasted of the ocean.

She walked into the sea under a full moon, pulled by the tide and the dream of Angel in the sun with his arms around her waist.
