At the Crime Scene
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sherlock BBC
Words: 680
Rating: G, Gen
Background: Rupert Giles and the Scoobies have escaped the destruction of Sunnydale, and, after an arduous journey to England, have left the Potentials at the Watchers’ Council headquarters outside London and set themselves down in The City. Giles connects with his childhood friend Detective Inspector Lestrade, where he is swept into an investigation of a peculiar set of serial killings that has left victims, half-drained of their blood, scattered around town. Meanwhile, Buffy and the crew have followed newspaper headlines to the exact crime scene where Giles, Lestrade, Sherlock, and John have just arrived.
( Sherlock strode toward the caution tape... )
Meanwhile, In Luton...
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sherlock BBC, Grimm
Words: 785 (157 words from a previously-written fic)
Rating: G, Gen
Background: Mycroft Holmes paused with his gloved finger hovering over the keypad at the gated entry. He closed his eyes momentarily, unfamiliar doubt flooding his mind. He willed himself not to glance back toward the black car at the curb. He hadn't chosen to engage Anthea in his trust; he had no right to request her support now.
It had been many years since he had pressed those numbers (of course, he had never pressed these numbers; the code was changed weekly), many years since he had crossed this threshold. However this current flurry of serial killings, the involvement of his brother, and the surprising appearance of the man Giles made this visit inevitable. In any case, hesitation and doubt were irrational, unproductive. He pressed the requisite numbers with aplomb, and pushed the open the gate to the headquarters of the Watchers' Council.
