Fic: Impossible Things (Chapters 1 - 6/??)

Ha! This is how I will thwart my tendency of late to make each individual scene a chapter.

Title: Impossible Things (Chapters 1 - 6/??)
Author: MoragMacPherson
Rating: PG-13
Timeline: Set during Human Nature/Family of Blood for DW, sometime in the Season Eight comics for BtVS
Disclaimer: Oddly enough, characters = not mine. Note for attorneys: if I file for bankruptcy, the only creditor who will still be able to get me is the student loan guys.
Archive: Here, TtH, & Teaspoon. If you'd like it, let me know.
Beta: The incomparable booster17 . Shezzi also lent a hand on Chapter 9.
Author's Note: So I saw a piece of fanart by BuffyCharmed over at TtH and got all inspired here. Then she saw the story I wrote and made me some genuinely terrific fanart here and there (my favorite is there).
Summary: John Smith and Martha hide from the Family of Blood at the Farringham School, where Martha meets a new friend from the 21st century.

Alone in the Dark

So, birthday party went very well... right up until the point when I realized around 10:30 that the sudden headache I developed around 8  was in fact a migraine.  Packed up the remainder of the chili (not much, people did a real job on it), told people they were free to stay as long as the roomie would put up with them, and headed to bed.  In case you were wondering, in the war between Tylenol PM and NoDoze, the Tylenol PM wins (caffeine is a known palliative for migraines and NoDoze was the only form of it in the house).  I feel quite a bit better now, but I changed my browser settings to display everything as white on black for a bit, stupid photosensitivity.

I was going to finish up Impossible Things today, but I've got a question for you folks, below the cut if you haven't read it yet and don't want to be spoiled.  Also, the question won't make any sense until you've read it anyway.  No rush though, I think I might do some actual homework to fill the time.

Don't You Love It...

When you're able to take a minor throwaway joke from the beginning of a story and turn it into an even better joke at the end with bonus!character-development at the end, making you look like a much more clever and forward-thinking author than you actually are?
