Title: Now That the Dawn Has Come
Author: jedibuttercup
Fandom(s): Falling Skies
Rating: R/Mature; language and canon-typical violence
Warnings/Notes: A Falling Skies canon divergence story, continuing the plotline established in "Waiting for the Dawn". Contains slash between two angsty, foul-mouthed, conflicted survivors of an alien apocalypse, and chronicles the shifting evolution of their family as they do their best to save Earth from the Espheni threat. (Because canon's version ... could have used a little applied logic.) Further research notes here.

Summary: "Alas! We were lost [...]! We shattered ourselves! We left our elder brothers behind! Our younger brothers! Where did they see the sun? Where must they be staying, now that the dawn has come?" 106,135 words.

(In which Tom and Pope undertake to save the human race. Starting with each other.)

Series: B:tVS/Falling Skies crossover
Rating: PG-15/M
Warnings: Some violence; post-apocalyptic setting; off-screen traumatic death of an OC.

Summary: "And I heard a voice like the noise of thunder..." (Life after the Apocalypse, Slayer Style, among the Massachusetts Militia). 19,300 words.

Notes: A Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Falling Skies crossover, set after the Season 8 comics and the Season 1 finale, with spoilers for both. Contains canon-typical violence, injury, OC Slayers, low-key Buffy/Kennedy femslash, and the canonical survivors of the Second Massachusetts Militia Regiment, among them: angsty kids, foul mouthed soldiers, misogynistic gun nuts, and one very determined ex-professor.
