SYNOPSIS: Buffy wanders the US helping out the baby slayers after the season finale. The community this is for focuses on fics set after the Buffy finale. This one is from an open-AU that I'm building and I'd love any feedback folks can give! ^_^
Looking back through rose-colored glasses, all that's left is a memory of thorns.
Another town, another house, another set of accusing eyes asking 'why did you do this to me?' And each time she took them out and showed them what they had to do and how, and after, when they were shaking with adrenaline and the hard cold fear that came with facing death, she told them why.
Sometimes they killed themselves, sometimes they fled and died when they refused to fight, and sometimes they took what she had taught them and embraced the darkness.
And she moved on.
