“I’ve never seen you around here before.” The tall demon took a step closer, and Spike’s hackles bristled.
“Well, duh, since I’ve never been here before,” Dawn snapped. She pointed to the scruffy demon-merchant. “And neither has he!” She swung around to face the crowd, incidentally edging back towards the tree […]

OK, I’m re-posting a revision of the last bit because I felt like it was too rushed even for a first draft, and there’s a new scene or two added.
Dawn woke with a start as something warm and wet and heavy dropped on her chest with a squishy thump. The door […]
Assorted maunderings

I couldn’t pull all the way into the driveway today because the duck was in the way. (See wildrider’s LJ for the Saga Of Chick & Duck.) The cats are watching them out the window, fascinated.
We’re letting Cairo and Silly meet New Cat slowly. There’s been a little hissing, but nothing major. […]
New Cat is continuing to be ingratiating, damn him. He’s a talker. He has conversations. .I’ve been reading up on the FIV stuff, and getting more torn about whether or not I can keep him safely. It’s not anywhere near as transmissible as feline leukemia, which is what I’ve had the […]
Everyone needs to read this. Like, NOW.
AnnieSJ’s nice visit from the Secret Service
Another teeny bit

Dawn woke with a start as something warm and wet and heavy dropped on her chest with a squishy thump. The door at the top of the kitchen stairs was open, letting a long shaft of pale light into the cellar. For a second she panicked, convinced that Grigna had found them and […]
Well, damn

New Cat tested positive for feline AIDS. That might not be a problem if we didn’t have other cats–these days cats can live very well for years with FIV or feline leukemia. But they’re still contagious, and we don’t have the facilities to keep him segregated from the other cats forever. […]
Little bit more…

Dawn crept along the side of the inn, keeping a wary eye on Goggle–the trackerbeast was chained to its kennel, but if it started making noise, they were in for it. Spike padded along behind her, yawning. Well, he’d had a hard day too, and done a lot more running around than she […]
A few nights ago I dreamed that I was Faith, leading a group of new Slayers to rescue Clem, who’d been beaten up by someone. Only it wasn’t exactly a rescue, since Clem had been taken to the demon hospital, and of course the demon doctors and nurses weren’t about to let a bunch […]
It didn’t take Dawn long to decide that she’d made a huge mistake. Riding an ox-cart turned out to be not much faster than walking, the ox-thing smelled like butt, the wheels kicked up entire Depression-Era novels worth of dust, and independent suspension was still on the drawing board. She clung to the […]
