Title: Cold As Ice

Fandom: BtVS

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Buffy

Rating: G

Spoilers: Season 6?

Summary: Nothing can warm her anymore.

Word Count: 100

Written For: mirrored_illusions’s prompt ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy, she had felt cold inside ever since they resurrected her,’ at fic_promptly

Disclaimer: I don’t own BTVS, or the characters. They belong to Joss Whedon.

A/N: Came out at exactly 100 words first try! Yay!

Even in the heat of California, ever since her friends dragged her back from Heaven, Buffy’’s felt cold; nothing seems to warm her.

At night, she wraps herself in her bed covers, feeling chilled to the bone, lost and bereft, as if every scrap of warmth that ever existed in her life is being leached out and there’s nothing she can do to stop it.

She just wants to feel warm again.

This isn’t life, it’s Hell, and isn’t Hell supposed to be hot? But her heart is like ice and not even the warmth of friendship can thaw it.

The End

Well, she'll have a lot of issues with her friends, as they KIDNAPPED her from Paradise! That is what that magic ritual was: kidnapping!
Excellent story, I loved it.
May I please share this on my lJ? I cannot remove the credit for who wrote the stories I share, but I sure don't want this story to be lost if you're lj gets deleted/purged for some reason.
Sorry, I had that happen too often to ever want that to happen again, and this is so wonderful!
Sincerely your fan;
Vantiri.

I have five different accounts and it's on all five. I'll certainly never delete any of them so it's here to stay, it won't get lost. You're welcome to link to any of my stories, but I'd prefer they weren't posted anywhere that I don't have control over, I'm sure you can understand that. However, I'm always happy for people to save copies for their own use and share them among themselves. All my stories are posted on AO3 here:

It's simple to download them in several different formats, so you can do that if you'd like to.

Buffy's friends believed they were saving her from Hell, they had no idea they were dragging her out of Heaven, and she didn't want them to know because she knew how much it would upset them. Even in her misery, she wanted to protect the people she loved from the painful truth.

Thank you.
