a2zmom for the 2012 holiday fic meme. She wanted something in the Return to Me-verse. I'd actually started a sequel to Return to Me, but apparently that was lost when my old computer died, so I wrote something new.Around the World in 80 Days
Dawn gets postcards.
From Eritrea—“Angel is doing much better. I have never in my life seen so much salt! Seriously, they farm salt here, how weird is that?”
From Saudi Arabia—“Okay, the fashion in this city pretty much blows. Also, did you know women aren’t allowed to drive cars here? Shut up, I’m an excellent driver. Angel says hi!”
From India—“I LOVE kheer. How is it that I never knew about kheer before? They should serve this everywhere, like frozen yogurt.”
From Thailand—“Dawnie, the beaches here have baby elephants! They just wander around, like dogs. One let me pet him! I wanted to ride him, but Angel didn’t think that was a good idea.”
From China—“Chinese food? Not what a lifetime of takeout has led me to believe. Also—apparently Angel speaks fluent Mandarin, which is my new favorite thing. He is so sexy in Chinese. Zai jian!”
From Ukraine—“It is cold here, and there are potatoes in EVERYTHING! So many carbs. We’ll be home for Christmas. Love you, Buffy.”

I also like that while I suepct there's plenty of danger and scary stuff during their travels, she focuses on the good stuff for Dawn. This whole story makes me smile.
