queerlygenTitle: Cold Comfort
Creator:were_lemur
Universe: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Type of work: fiction (drabble)
Contains: Established and debatably canon relationship, but no sexual content. Alternate universe.
Summary and/or notes: Giles tries to comfort Buffy, Ethan tries to comfort Giles. Neither of them completely succeeds. Part of my Buffy has Two Daddies-verse.
After he's finally gotten Buffy back to sleep, Ripper returns to bed. "I don't know," he says, "what I'll do when she finally remembers."
"She might not." But Ethan knows they can't count on that. She's been having nightmares more often, not less. And even if she doesn't remember, sooner or later, she'll be old enough to demand answers.
"We can't do anything about that now," Ethan says, and rolls over to put his head on Ripper's chest. "We need to concentrate on staying ahead of the Council."
It's cold comfort, he knows, but he has nothing better to offer.
