Title: Slayers: A Shared Destiny
Author: veronyxk84
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Characters: Sineya, Chinese Slayer, Nikki Wood, Buffy Summers, Kendra Young, Faith Lehane

Content: Meta (1,080 words)
Written for: halfamoon
Theme: Day 9: Aging

“The younger, the better.”
These words were uttered by Kennedy in episode 7x11 “Showtime” when she was still a Potential Slayer.
Before her, a long line of young women, the “Chosen Ones,” shared the same mission and the same fate: carrying the weight of the world at the cost of their own young lives.

Age has, in fact, always been a key factor in the mystical power that perpetuated the calling of the Slayer through centuries and millennia. And also in their untimely death.
In fact, there’s one thing that, as far as we can tell, all the Slayers have in common: called young, died young. Aging, as a matter of fact, doesn’t seem to be in the cards for the Chosen Ones. Or at least it wasn’t, until one girl came along and changed the rules…

Title: They Can Never Know
Artist: veronyxk84
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Characters: Buffy, Dawn, Tara, Willow, Anya
Episode: 6x03 “After Life”
Episode: 6x07 “Once More, With Feeling”



Content: 1 banner (500x200px) + 20 icons (100x100px)
Made for: halfamoon
Theme: Day 6: Secrets and/or Lies

Note: SPOILERS for BtVS S6 ahead
I believe that Season 6 of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” could be the one that best represents this theme. Everyone is keeping secrets, and everyone is lying about something... and there’s always someone paying the consequences.
I also think that the biggest secret/lie is the one that Buffy keeps/tells to her friends: the fact that she was in heaven but tells them that they pulled her out of a hell dimension.
So I picked two episodes that represent Buffy’s confession to the audience through Spike (banner), and Buffy’s revelation to everyone through Sweet’s spell (icons).
There are also other secrets/lies that are discovered during this episode (Willow using a mind-altering spell on Tara; Xander and Anya’s doubts about their upcoming married life) or will be discovered later (Dawn’s kleptomania).
More secrets and lies will pile up after this episode, but I had to make a choice. Also, I didn’t have time to adjust the coloring... so some icons are a bit off. Sorry about that!
