buffyversetop51 The delightful Beer Good's By Wise Council You Shall Make Your War - Slayers are supernatural, right?
Author's summary: In each generation, a Slayer is born. She alone will stand against the etc etc. In 1917, that was a young woman named... um... Bob? Good thing the Watcher's Council have an auxiliary member already in place in the trenches.
Excerpt:
George frowned as he slowly made his way through the latest letter from home. "Now that's odd," he said in a tone that made it clear he expected someone to inquire what was odd.
"What is, Lieutenant?" Captain Blackadder really didn't want to know what was odd, but they'd spent days rained in in the trench and at this point, he welcomed anything that opened up the possibility for him to make sarcastic comments about the habits of the English aristocracy rather than endless games of "I spy with my little eye something beginning with M", which invariably turned out to be Mud.
"This letter from my uncle Roderick."
"Would this be the uncle Roderick who sells women's undergarments?"
"Ah, now that's just a front, Sir! He's really a member of a secret society called the Watchers, who train young women to fight vampires."
2 Bob the Mole's The Barter Economy - Drusilla hires a boatman to ferry her through the Amazon offering him enough gold to change his life. He should have wondered what she wanted in return.
Excerpt:
After his dinner he took Drusilla's leave and made his bed on the edge of the deck. The noise of the water quickly led him to sleep, but all night he heard humming and soft murmurs in his sleep. Good bye! he dreamt someone cry, Good bye, stars! Good bye, pretty musics. 'Tis rude but I shall forget you all. A moth fluttered by his ear and in his dream he saw the piskies dancing under a gibbous moon.
3 Another by Beer Good, Radio Silence - Welcome to Night Vale comes to us as a radio broadcast. What will we hear when the Gentlemen come calling?
