Author: Maeve Bran
Summary: Willow gives thanks.
Disclaimer: I own neither Bones or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I'm just having a little holiday fun with the characters and will return them to their owners full of turkey in the morning.
Prompt: TtH100 "Turkey"
Notes: This is part of the Willow the Squint universe. I hope everybody had a happy Turkey Day. (Written November 23, 2006. Posted several weeks late due to my usual beta's leave of absence from the Internet).
Willow looked around the table at the assorted 'family' she had gathered since last year at the same time. There was of course Buffy and her sister Dawn, and Dawn's husband, Zack Addy. Dr. Temperance Brennan and her brother, Russ were next around the table. Dr. Brennan's FBI partner, Seeley Booth, was next. Then Willow's boss, Angela Montenegro, and Dr. Jack Hodgins, and then Dr. Camille Saroyan. Willow's girlfriend, Tori Wood completed the circle. The group was a strange mix, but it was a lively group.
Buffy had been banned from the kitchen because of what happened several years ago when she had tried make the perfect Thanksgiving. Willow had instead taken charge of the turkey herself, and then assigned the other guests a dish to bring. The results were laid out before her. The table fairly groaned with food, and there were only eleven people to eat it all.
Willow smiled at the group, then spoke. "I suggest that we each take a moment to say what we are thankful for this year. I'll start. I'm thankful for my job and that I have friends where I work."
"I'm thankful that we survived another year without a Hellmouth exploding," Buffy said.
Willow and Dawn nodded. Those that hadn't survived Sunnydale merely smiled. They didn't know what the Slayer meant, but knew it was important.
Dawn's turn came. "I'm thankful for my husband." She looked away and blushed.
Zack blushed as well. "I'm thankful for my wife." Everyone just smiled and nodded at that.
"I'm thankful for finding my brother," Dr. Brennan simply stated. She looked at Russ, who gave her hand a squeeze.
"I am thankful you found me too. I am also thankful for finally knowing what happened to Mom," Russ added.
It was Booth's turn next. "I'm glad I was finally able to settle things with Rebecca. She and I have finally agreed about Parker."
"Are you going to see him today?" Brennan asked.
"Yeah, Rebecca is going to bring him over tonight and he'll spend the night." Booth smiled.
"That's good," Russ said.
Angela was next. "I'm thankful that I am not the only 'normal' person in the lab any more." She looked directly at Willow.
Willow smiled at this indication that she was appreciated.
"I'm thankful that I didn't have to be with my relatives today," Hodgins added.
Cam's turn was next. "I'm thankful to be in a state of the art lab with people I respect."
Tori finished the circle. "I'm thankful for Willow." She smiled at Willow.
Willow blushed, then to cover her embarrassment said, "Let's eat."
Everyone dug into the food closest to them.
