I miss writing fanfic, but I don't have the mental focus for a full-on story. So... it's meme time. You give me the summary of a story I never wrote, and I'll give you a snippet from that story. So, let's see what you can throw at me. I can write in Buffy, Sentinel, Firefly, SG1, NCIS, or SPN.

"Hey, that hurts, you know."

The gray haired thug kept pulling Xander along by his arm.

"I was just walking down the street.  You can't arrest me for that."

Young and fashionable thug hurried ahead to open a door for the whole arresting crew. This whole arrest thing was getting a little too serious what with him getting dragged into NCIS headquarters. What the hell was an NCIS, anyway? "You were walking around on a secure base.  You might want to come up with another story," young thug who was actually less than thuggish suggested.

"How was I supposed to know that?" Xander went for the puppy-dog look.  As he got older, it was getting harder and harder to pull off, but sometimes, just sometimes, he'd find that goofy charm could trump the hardest hard-ass.  Not so much with this crew, though.

"The eight foot chain link fence should have been a hint," gray-haired, cutie thug said dryly.

"There was a bug.  I have a thing for bugs ever since...never-mind.  You don't actually care about my childhood."

"No, we don't." Gray hair looked about ready to explode in a dirty nuclear bomb sort of way.

"When you lie, try to be specific," handsome thug advised with a sort of mock intimacy that almost made Xander smile.

"DiNozzo," gray haired thug growled.  Well that filled in one name.

"Right, boss.  Sorry, boss." The guard checking the agents' identification gave DiNozzo a sympathetic look as he scanned gray-hair's ID.  It gave Xander a chance to see the name Gibbs.

"Mr. Gibbs," Xander started.

"Special Agent Gibbs," DiNozzo corrected him.  Xander barely restrained an eyeroll as he started over.

"Special Agent Gibbs, you really are wasting your time with me."

Gibbs whirled around so fast that Xander almost wanted to ask about the guy's humanity, or lack thereof.  Shoving his face right into Xander's, he all but growled, "Harris, a Marine's little girl is missing. That is not a waste of time."

"That's not what I mean.  I mean of course she's important.  Way more important than me.  Way, way more, and I know that more than you might think. I just think you really don't want to waste your time with me."

For a second, Gibbs glared murder at him.  Slow, bloody, painful murder.  The man had a glare that vampires would envy.  "DiNozzo, get him to interrogation before I kill him."

"On it, boss," DiNozzo agreed even as Gibbs stalked away.

Xander turned his grin on his new captor.

"You can save that for someone who buys it," DiNozzo said as he started guiding Xander down the hall, scary girl and dweebie guy following behind.

"What?"

"That goofy, clueless camouflage you wear... That's been my shtick around here for the better part of a decade, so one professional faker to another, figure out how to drop the act before my boss comes back.  He saw through me in about two seconds, and he already has your number.  However with a fifteen year old girl missing, he's not going to play nice and he's really not going to avoid serious psychological damage as he pulls all your defenses to shreds.  So drop the act, drop your shields, and play it straight with Gibbs or you have no idea how ugly this is about to get."

For the first time since hitting DC, Xander was scared.

Squeeeee!

I know. These all sort of require longer stories, but I am trying to wallow in the short a little.

Ooooh - I loved this, and I haven't really read Buffy or NCIS for ages.

Thank you so much. I do find I'm wandering from Buffy. It makes me sad.

Oh that's great! I never thought of Tony and Xander's similarities that way. And I'd be very scared if I was Xander, cause how can he tell the truth and be believed?

They are both jokester characters in both the best and worst of ways.

Gibbs is scarier than most demons, that's for sure.

Oh that was totally awesome. Xander DiNozzo face off. I love it. I bet by the end of this fic DiNozzo would be really jealous of Gibbs giving Xander attention cos hey being the team comedian/doofus, that's his schtick. Is Gibbs trading in for a younger model? (he'd be thinking) meanwhile Gibbs would be going insane from the Tony attention seeking - whilst at the same time really liking Xander.

Ooooh I see this one going somewhere.

I can totally see that happening because Gibbs would be fascinated by Xander's contradictions. He would recognize both the soldier instincts and the goofy insecurities.

I was just watching NCIS and there was a scene with Abby talking to a corpse in the morgue and I wondered what would happen if the corpse spoke back which is what Ducky warned her about. What if NCIS found a body when the girl was kidnapped; a body who had been shot several times; a body with blond hair and blue eyes and dressed in a leather coat with Doc Martens.

Oh hell yeah. I can see Spike trying to bluff it out until Ducky wants to cut out his heart. Then self-preservation would kick in.

This is awesome! Normally, I hate crossovers, but this intrigues me.

People seem to want more cross-overs than non-cross-overs this time. It's very odd.

And yes Xander, I would be scared too.
Thank you for this fine piece of art. And yay, maybe I can read the other one too right now before I've to go to work.
