    Summary

    They’d already been warned in advance that the process would be long.

    Even beyond the almost year-long road to getting approved, there was no guarantee that they’d have the opportunity to foster any time soon, let alone find a child who they’d bond with enough to comfortably start the adoption process.

    So when Shane feels his phone vibrating underneath him as he and Ilya sit curled up in the corner of the couch on a Saturday night barely a fortnight after their official paperwork had come through, he doesn’t think much of it at first.

    Not until he pulls the device from his pocket and sees their case worker’s name shining up at him, sitting up immediately, back straight and breaths picking up as Ilya lets out a small indignant whine.

    “Holy shit.”

    ----- or -----

    After applying to be foster parents, Shane and Ilya are called to take an emergency placement on a short term-basis in order to keep two twin siblings together. However, what starts out as a temporary situation soon becomes a much larger fight when bonding with the kids uncovers a tragic secret hidden between them for years.

    Summary

    With nowhere else in L.A. to stay, Buffy finds herself on Ms. Calendar's doorstep. She doesn't break in, because breaking in would be, like, majorly rude, right now, and there’s not many better ways to jeopardise your couch-surfing opportunities than by choke-slamming your teacher, running her out of town, and then breaking into her house. Buffy’s trying not to add to the list.

    Summary

    Buffy is standing there, looking at Ted on the floor. She is standing there looking at Ted on the floor and there is this exhausted ringing in her ears, because her mom is going to wake up and her mom is going to freak out about Buffy killing Ted again, just like her mom couldn’t look at her while they were driving to the police station.

    Buffy looks at Ted on the floor and then she goes over and calls Giles. It goes to voicemail.
