Complete crackfic

I'm trying to bust through a little light writer's block so I was going through some old prompting posts I'd saved & found one from Small Fandom Fest 2009 for OZ which was "Beecher/Keller, your shirt". Here's what it generated. This is set after a Season 6 in which Keller lived and somehow managed to get out of prison and live happily ever after with Toby (see? crack!fic)


Keller wrapped his arms around Beecher, holding him close.

“It’s not fair,” Beecher said.

“I know, baby.”

“It’s one of those things where we were there from the beginning and it was good, right? It was good.”

“The beginning was good,” he said, pulling Beecher in for a kiss.

“And then all that shit went down and things fell apart.”

“Right.” Keller rolled his eyes.

“But, but, they were together. Finally. After all the shit they went through,” Beecher sniffed. “And they were together with the kissing and the making up and…” Beecher started sobbing again.

Keller handed him a tissue.

Beecher wiped his eyes. “I hate Joss Whedon.”


If you don't get the reference, "Your shirt" is the line that Tara says to Willow right after Tara is shot by Warren in season six of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the prompt.

Oh! It's lovely! And I totally believe they'd be BtVS fans, and Tobias would get weepy after that scene. I did. Good one!

Loved it..hated what Whedon did to Tara. Loved Toby being all emotional over her.

Even though I didn't get the reference (I watched some of Buffy when it aired originally, but only the first couple of seasons), I still really liked this. I'm a sucker for hurt Beecher and comforting Keller, and this was really sweet. (It also probably parallels a lot of real-life reactions by people at the end of Oz!)
