Plan A: 'Get laid' has failed. JD has a damn good lock on his window. It's time for Veronica to move onto Plan B: 'Apologise'.
What better way is there to say sorry than to hop a fence, climb a tree, and drunkenly break into someone's home? At least Heather has a few ideas.

Summary
“You’re allowed to be sad,” Octavia repeats herself. She watches as Raven’s eyes land on the necklace she’s hung up, and she sees the pain in the girl’s face. “You can’t just keep hiding from it, Raven.”
“Yeah?” Raven’s voice is cold again and she narrows her eyes. “And how would you know? You haven’t even been here.”
Octavia continues to take it, knowing the verbal blows are well deserved. She feels infinitely small in that moment. In finding a problem that she can’t fix on her own, she feels powerless. All she can do is shrug, clasp her hands together, and look down at the ground. “Doesn’t mean I stopped caring.”
or
A Non-AU in which Octavia and Raven have a whole lot of history.

Anon request:
"I'm dying to see a step up au"
Trini looks up at the tall, ancient building with a heavy sigh, watches as the preppy, pretentious kids shove past her like she’s invisible. Some of them look at her as if to say ‘you don’t belong here’.
And they’re right. Somebody like her doesn’t belong in a place like this.
But she’s forced to be here for a minimum of six months so she’s going to put her head down and get on with her self-sentenced community service.
Why did she listen to her so-called friends and get herself in to this mess?

Summary
Faith doesn’t notice anything strange until the next morning, when they wake up in bed together. In another time. In another world. In a world where they’re married and living together and raising Buffy’s little sis and everyone’s walking around treating the situation like it’s fine and good and normal and not like things are about fifty shades from okay.
They’re the only ones who notice anything is wrong; the only ones who can remember. Everything’s different and nothing makes sense and they’re the only ones who can see it.
Oh yeah, and apparently none of the Scoobies know that they’re Slayers, either.
So… This is gonna suck.

Summary
Buffy huffs, “That’s the deal when it’s from regular people or monsters or whatever. We’re both slayers. We cancel each other out. Like a really sexy math equation. ...wait. Forget I said that.”
Buffy Summers loves her girlfriend. Her stupid, sexy, smartass, somewhat embarrassing girlfriend. Even when she pulls shit like this.
