Completed-ish Fic

[dlgood]

Done! I am done, dammit!

Title: "Bakery".
Status: Complete
Disclaimer: All characters are property of Mutant Enemy. Except for the ones that aren't.
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: BtVS up through S7.22 "Chosen", AtS up through 4.22 - "Home"
Summary: The war with the First Evil is over. What will Buffy do now?

That only took me a month to wrap up. I suspect the ending will be something of a letdown because I've left it in a place where I could come back and continue Buffy's story for another 10 plus chapters. In theory, I could still pick it up. But, I don't have the energy or the inspiration right now, and I don't want it hanging over my head for another month, so I've found the thematic leave-off point and left off thematically. I hope my seven readers won't tar and feather me for it...

This was very much an impressionistic sort of narrative, and I like the snapshots approach for a number of reasons. The little vignettes seem oddly appropriate for the Scoobies and the Fang Gang's ways of life...episodic, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, I loved it because it wasn't overly sentimental, pat, or happy, yet it offered perfect little moments of scoobie-hood in an adult, yet properly characterized way.

Thanks. Glad you liked the form. And here I was going with it to cover up my limitations with narrative.

I don't know how these characters would score on the Myers-Briggs, although I'd guess Buffy might be ISTJ. I've done the tests a few times, and I'm usually either ENTJ or INTJ depending upon my mood that week.
