Fic: Be Seeing You...

Title: Be Seeing You...
Fandom: BtVS
Rating: G
Summary: Waiting for Ripper to return…
Character: Ethan
Concrit: Please, in Comments
Disclaimer: They aren’t mine, not yet, but they will be… once I’ve taken over the world. Bwah-ha-ha!
Note: Given that this was written for the prompt of ghost and set in Season 2's Halloween episode, I'm rather amused I didn't use Willow.  ;-)

BE SEEING YOU... Ethan nudged one side of the card, tilting it just so. He winced as he turned but didn't let it show in his stride. He hadn't let Ripper beat him too thoroughly but still, Ethan knew he'd be aching for days. He left the door unlocked – it wasn't like he'd be back again – and settled into a car across the way and waited.

Rupert returned to the scene: not Ripper. Nothing Ethan had done had changed anything. All that work, and he'd been no more effective than a ghost. He'd have to try harder the next time.

Thank you. I'm always glad to hear what worked for people.

Thanks. I'm pleased with it myself and I wrote it pretty quickly: this morning.

Awesome icon.

This is really swell. Poor Ethan... he does keep trying.

he does keep trying. He sort of has to. It's not like anything ever goes his way. ;-)

Aww poor Ethan!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

The poor guy never catches a break!

Thank you.

Well, he's stubborn, that Ethan. Pity he didn't succeed in canon :(

Pity he didn't succeed in canon. *huge grin of agreement*

Loved it! :-)

What a great little summation of our favourite chaos mage.
And isn't that the sum of chaos. Come, cause a stir, move on with the certainty of a return gig down the track.

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Yep, that does sum up chaos quite nicely!

Ooh, this is wonderful, the idea that "Halloween" was really all about Rupert.

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I've read so much Ethan/Giles that I pretty much think everything Ethan does is about Rupert. ;-)

Actually feeling bad for Ethan, nice fic!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I love it when I get people to feel bad for Ethan! ;-)
