10 out of 20 - Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Buffy Summers - That Feeling
Title: That Feeling
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Character: Buffy Summers
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 204
Prompt: Imagine
Summary: Buffy's thoughts after being brought back in Season Six
Some days it was hard to imagine that feeling- peace, bliss, quiet- that she had been immersed in. When she was there in that other place after her leap into the portal, she'd not known anything else. There was no worry over paying the bills or making sure Dawn got to school on time or the endless amounts of paperwork that came along with her mother's death. There was no heartbreak- there were no pints of Ben & Jerry's either to offset the heartbreak. She didn't have to do anything.
Now she was back, ripped out of that place, and it all had flooded back- the worry, the fear, the ever-present vigilance, no time to rest, just go, go, go, save the world, fight another big bad, they can't do it without her. She was the one girl (well, two if she counted Faith, but Faith wasn't exactly available to help.)
She knew that place (was it Heaven?) wasn't a dream, but it tickled the edges of her mind. This felt wrong. Everything here felt wrong. That place where she was, she couldn't just go back. Not without feeling that she let everyone else down, and that was the hell of all of it.
