Title: The Rhymer’s Return
Author: pythia
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Rating: FRC
Spoilers: General
Warnings: Very, very vague reference to mental health issues …
Disclaimers: None of these people are mine. Buffy et al belong to Joss and the rest of those guys. All references to the sterling members of the Hampshire constabulary (and to their procedures) are entirely fictional, and any seeming resemblance will be purely coincidental.
Summary:
The gifts she made were numbered thrice, beneath the Eildon tree
The price he gave was triple paid: three time three the key.
Three songs for the tongue that cannot lie
Three tears to pierce illusion’s eye
A kiss to tease
A kiss to please
And a kiss that set him free
Notes: A sequel to ‘Seeking the Rhymer’s Gift.’ Both pieces written for the 2010
