New Fic: Came the Thunder, Chapter 1

I can resist anything except, of course, temptation. With ‘Dojo Hard’ now complete I should have been working on ‘Tabula Avatar’ and, as I promised, completing ‘Life, Resumed’. Afraid not. I’ve started another WIP and my ‘to do’ list is back to exactly what it was before. I’ll be returning to the other stories tomorrow, don’t worry, but this one will be taking up a slot on my rotating schedule from now on.

I’ve wanted to write a story about a specific type of Slayer for about 3 years. I’ve mentioned it before, and indeed deathisyourart was even inspired to do artwork to accompany it, but I could never get the actual story to come out right. Then, last August, ffutures wrote an extremely clever drabble – read it before you start my story – and sparked an idea in me that set the plot bunny off in an entirely new direction. In the past few days it has all fallen into place.

This one is not a comedy (so those of you who have recently Friended me because of Dojo Hard won’t necessarily like this one, although I hope that you will). There will be some humor along the way, as there is in most of my stories, but not as much as usual and it starts off very dark indeed. NC-17 for extreme violence right from the start. Character death. This is BtVS Season 6 without Buffy! Be warned, an original character plays a very major role; although I think that most of you will be aware that I can be trusted to avoid Mary Sue syndrome.

Chapter length 3,000 words, NC-17. It begins in 1864…

deathisyourart’s banner, from the watchersdiaries ‘Art-a-thon Reversed’ event in January 2006, can be found HERE. Please DO NOT take this picture for any other purpose. Even I can’t use it without deathisyourart’s permission and the original deal was that permission would not be granted until the story is finished. So you can look, but don’t touch.
