halfamoon | Day 13 Theme ~ One Hit Wonders - Thru October, until Forever (BtVS, Dawn/Lisa)

TITLE: Thru October, until Forever https://kerk-hiraeth.dreamwidth.org/21267.html

PROMPT: Day Thirteen ~ One Hit Wonders

FANDOM: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

AUTHOR: kerk hiraeth

RATING: PG

LENGTH: 200

CHARACTERS: Lisa Torres; Dawn Summers; Martin King,

SUMMARY: Per the theme; Lisa is the schoolmate Dawn is talking to at the start of the second act of BtVS Season Five, Episode Sixteen 'The Body'. She was in one act of one episode (for less than two and a half minutes of an Act of just over seven minutes) yet I have a nearly complete back story in my head for her, and have written more than a dozen (at least) of fics about them; including one (as part of a series for an old Buffy fandom friend who was herself about to get married) where they get married.

This is the first time their names surnames have been revealed to me; for her Dad his first name too. This made writing this one extra special, and extra special too was that I wrote it in less than four hours from idea to completion (been a long time since I've written a story that fast!); also wonderful was the fun I had getting the story edited to a specific length as I was completing the final draft; so much fun and, again, something that hasn't happened for a very long time.

I was also pleased at how I responded to getting name-checked in the theme post; as good a feeling as the few times I got a fic rec'd, or nominated.

May the Goddess watch over you in these dark times,
