A (weird) challenge

["Matthias Engel" <Solarsenshi@xxxxxx>]

Ok, guys. I just got an idea and since I?ve got more than enough fics to
handle myself I thought I share it with you and watch, if someone is
interested. It?s really weird actually and I wouldn?t blame you, if you don?
t find it interesting. I mean we have Buffy/Willow/Tara here (plenty of
them) and even some others that are similar but I guess that one tips
everything off (although I have the distant memory having seen one before).
What about Buffy/Willow/Anya? Yes, yes, I know, don?t look at me like this
let me explain the challenge. The idea actually came when I more or less
bored thought about what a Buffy/Anya shipper could look like (not that I
actually am a fan of this). Am I rambling? Err?
Alright here it comes:

Write a fic following these points. Hereby it is totally open when this
takes place but it should be somewhere from Season 6 upwards (up from the
time Spike and Buffy start their? err, whatever they have).

Starting scene (does not mean that the fic has to be started like this, its
just the initiator): Anya runs in on Buffy and Spike having sex and stakes
him/shoots him with a crossbow right in the act, thereby leaving Buffy
unsatisfied and having to finish the act. (and please give me a funny scene
with Spike looking totally dumbfounded *evil grin*)
After doing ?it? Anya reveals to Buffy that before her time as a demon she
had been involved the Slayer of this time. This Slayer had a similar
?relationship? with a vampire and Anya rescued her sort of from this
experience. All alone (without family, friends etc.) they fought their way
through the forces of darkness and were together for about a decade. That
was then the vampire (who continued to bug them) had finally caught up with
them. Since he couldn?t get near them anyway he tried to shoot Anya with a
poisoned arrow but the Slayer took the shot. Even her Slayer healing couldn?
t help her and she died in Anya?s arms. Anya was heartbroken and in her
grief cursed man in general for being so lust driven. That was when she got
the offer as a Vengeance Demon and took it.
Anya admits that she envies Buffy for actually having a life, with family
and friends since she and the other Slayer never had this. Anya offers Buffy
that, if it was just to feel something she could come to her and that unlike
Spike it would be her decision alone. But Buffy declares that she wouldn?t
do that to anyone, either work it out or leave it that this one experience?
Naturally they agreed on working something out. *g*
Now how to get Willow into this? This actually depends on when you are
setting the time. What I thought about would be that Anya (through her
history with the other Slayer) would have a basic understanding about both
the craving for feeling (Buffy) and the addiction to power (Willow). After
all, taking this background into account, what do you think she thought when
her powers were gone and she was human again? How helpless she must have
felt? Think about it. I leave it to you how you pull Willow into this, after
all I pretty much gave you everything you need for the Buffy/Anya part
already.

I know that the basis lies here in a Buffy/Anya relationship but it?s just
as an initiator. Actually, I only had this idea and thought it might be
interesting to write. Personally (although we are just in the middle of
Season 6 over here), I would say that after Season 6 would be perfect. Tara
would be gone, Xander and Anya not together? It is just a suggestion. If you
are creative you might even manage something similar already in Season four?
Who knows.

I hope I didn?t spook you out with that. As I said a weird idea passing
through my head that I found to sad to be wasted.

Ja ne, yours
