Title: Elemental II: Fire
Author: Jedi Buttercup
Disclaimer: The words are mine; the worlds are not. I claim nothing but the plot.
Rating: PG
Summary: When the consultant from the British Museum finally showed up, she wasn't anything like what Billy had been expecting. Double drabble.
TtH100 Prompt: #15, Fire
Notes: B:tVS post-"Chosen"; JP post-"Jurassic Park III" (2001). Follows "Elemental I: Earth". Also fits the TTH FFA for Buffy & Billy Brennan.



When the consultant from the British Museum finally showed up, she wasn't anything like what Billy had been expecting. He'd been picturing someone more Alan's age, a dried-up stick of a woman whose enthusiasm for the subject would have long since been snuffed out by long hours trapped behind a desk. Since a lot of their funding came from that museum and affiliated organizations now, news of her visit had lit a fire under the team at the dig; they'd been burning the candle at both ends for days now, trying to make as much progress in their research as possible before her arrival.

The energetic golden girl in the sexy suit and two-hundred-dollar shoes, even younger than he was, was a pleasant surprise. Not so pleasant, however, was the realization that his usual effortless charm, practiced diligently on female grad students at the dig, wasn't so much as making her blush. It was Alan, surprisingly enough, who'd inspired a spark of interest in her eyes.

Well, good for Alan, Billy decided. Dr. Grant had been alone for years, since Dr. Sattler had left him; he-- and his work-- could only benefit from a little more passion in his life.

I do rather like the idea of Buffy and Alan. *grins* Not a pairing I thought I would warm to...but I can see him balancing her nicely.

Buffy and Alan? I got the impression that Alan was older, somewhere around 40, maybe more. But then again, love doesn't ask for age, I guess...
