Author's Notes: Written for Choose Your Own Author ficathon deadline July 15. This was late in getting posted. Sorry to whoever I wrote it for. Instead of getting into a long reason as why this was late, I'm going to give the short version – computer problems. My assignment was:
Characters/Pairings you want the story to focus in. Buffy/Angel
Characters/Pairings you want in the story too. Any character necessary for the story is fine!
Things you want: All human fic would be awesome! Any timeline/setting is fine, but I've always adored college age Buffy and slightly older but not toooo older Angel for AU fics! Some objects to include – the police, a pizza, welcome mat, an iPod, black markers and a knapsack.
Things you don't want: I'd prefer no Buffy/Spike except for reference purposes if it's necessary, not heavy angst although a little is fine. As long as Buffy/Angel are the end result I'm cool with how you get there!
Extras: Any rating is fine! Nothing too dark or angst ridden!
Warnings: Some things are compleately made up for the purpose of the story. Such things are symptoms of a medical condition, a new drug, some other things that I didn't have time to research. So if you see something that wouldn't happen in real life, that's why. I did play around with the timing of Mid-terms and how long a semester/term is. Sorry about that. But When I started it, I had one thing in my mind and when I ended it, the timing was just all off. In this story E.S.P. and Physic foretelling of the future and Physic insight to certain things are real, even though it's all human. CHARACTER DEATH. Although it's not Buffy or Angel, it is one of Angel's close friends. I really tried not kill anybody off, but you know how it is when the characters tell you something and you try to go another way with it. It just doesn't work. Since it's a "hero's death", I hope it's not too angsty. Oh yeah, the main plot of the story was inspired by Steve Holy's "Brand New Girlfriend" song. Lyrics will be posted at the end for those who haven't heard the song so that nothing is given away.
Thanks: to the person who I wrote the fic for since you entrusted me to write your story and please forgive me for being so late with it. Thanks to Leni who ran the ficathon and also Beta'd the story.
