Title: Full Circle
Rating: PG for now
Medium: Fanfic
Setting: Early Season 3 and then it goes wildly AU after that

Summary: What would have happened if Buffy met with Spike instead of Lilly in “Anne?” Where would it have taken them?

Disclaimers: Spike, Buffy and the Buffyverse are not my creations. They are the glorious brain children of Joss Whedon. Any liberties I take with the characters and the ‘verse are ‘cause he’s indulgent towards his fans. Some of the diner dialogue is directly from the original episode, “Anne.” The general concept of Drusilla leaving Spike for a chaos demon isn’t mine either. That’s from “Fool for Love,” Season 5. I didn’t write or create either! Please don’t say I did.

A/N: If you're still reading this, many thanks for your perseverance. This is going on much, much longer than I expected. As always, comments are greatly appreciated and help to feed the muse.

It's been a while since I've had half a chance to write anything not related to some other projects. This was fun!

One Word

They hovered on the brink. One word was all it would take. Just one. She could say it. Caught in his embrace. She could. It was just there, on the tip of her tongue. One word to tip the scales.

They were a heart beat away from it. A beat. That was it. She looked into his eyes, so close she could see the little variations in his irises. He blinked. Blue disappeared behind long lashes. She inhaled. So close. Lips parted. Pink tongue licked dry lips. And then…

Nothing… she turned abruptly and walked away. One word never spoken.

Walking Away

Click. Click. Click. Click. Her quick steps sounded on the pavement as she stormed away from the alley, her mission clear. He lay there, bleeding on the ground. Maybe provoking her wasn’t the right thing to do tonight. But he had to try. Had to stop her before she ruined her life for an accident, a stupid, bloody accident.

“Buffy,” he rasped out.

He tried to rise, but his injuries were too severe, too fresh. He reached out a wounded arm, ignoring the pain. The quick click-click of her shoes on the pavement echoed in his ears. She was gone.

Prompt: Doctor - Rex Morgan M.D. in Sunnydale

thistles
Rex carefully shut the door to the exam room, wearily resting his forehead to the door.

“Doctor,are you all right?” June stood behind him in the hall.

He swallowed a sigh and turned. The concern on her face was clear. Understandable, it had been a very odd day.

“Fine, June,” he replied.

“She didn’t break out… into… song… did she? Like the others?”

Rex winced, closed his eyes. The memory of old Mrs. White creaking out an aria about her incontinence was now permanently burned in his brain.

“June, please cancel the remainder of my appointments. Just don’t… sing.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: Rex Morgan, M.D. is a long running newspaper comic strip in the US. I don't usually read it, but for some reason, this seemed like the perfect place to insert him into the 'verse. *grin*

“You can’t get me to talk! I won’t! And if I do, how do you know it will be the truth? Even I don’t know what the truth is.”

Xander eyed the blonde boy tied to the chair. “Right, Colonel Flagg. You keep yourself in a state of utter confusion.”

“I…! What?”

“Xander, the little blonde weasel isn’t going to be intimidated by some obscure pop-culture reference. Let me at him,” Anya narrowed her eyes in Andrew’s direction. “I’ll get him to sing like a canary.”

Andrew blanched and scrunched down in the chair. Pilfered cookies weren’t worth this interrogation.

Writing Progress

The Good News: There's progress on "Full Circle!" Yay!!!! And it's good!

The Not So Good News: It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of sequence and I'm missing big gobs of stuff that has happened between when we left The Seer rubbing her hands with glee on a London street and ... well... where I am right now. So no posting updates yet, but soon.

More Good News: I'm going to be taking some time off from work for a few days (That's what we call "vacation," Self) and hope to get some serious writing done - on this and other things (work on "Angel Between the Lines" has started! Wha-huh? Go check out Buffy Between the Lines if you haven't already to get an idea of what's going on.).

The Bad News: There isn't any bad news! Woohoo!

Drabble: Bow (2)

It's All About the Tie


#1
Gently she tugged his bow tie into place. For as long as she could remember, he always wore a bow tie. He wouldn’t be him without one.

She smoothed his hair, touched a palm to his cheek, grazed her mouth over the cold lips set in a serene smile ... shuddered. Even with his glasses and the art of the funeral home’s director, he didn’t look like he was sleeping. He just looked ... dead.

Silently she laid her hand on his chest and said one final farewell. As she turned, she didn’t see her grandfather’s eyes open and flare to life.



#2
She comes awake in confusion. It’s dark. She finds the switch and the fluorescents flicker to life. She’s in a shop of some kind. The others slumped around the main room start to stir. A feeling of familiarity settles over her, but she can’t put her finger on...

A man lying on the counter rolls and falls to the floor, breaking her concentration. A girl screams. He recovers with an astounding agility. She steals a glance at Counter Man.

Bow tie? she thinks. That’s kind of dorky… but still...

Idly she thinks how his mouth tastes of tobacco and whiskey.

for [info]open_on_sunday - Prompt: Auto
=====================================================

It was automatic, this lying.

“I’m fine.”

When she was first called, it was one of the first skills she’d perfected. She lied to everyone.

“I’m glad to be back.”

Even when she could finally talk about her calling, lies just felt more comfortable.

“No, you’re right. I need to be on my own. Go back to London.”

It seemed natural to lie now, no thought to it at all.

“I can handle it.”

So then, why was Spike the only one she wouldn’t lie to? Since when did honesty become their hallmark?

“I think I was in heaven.”

Welcome to the Middle Ages: Complete!

pink
-Rating: PG-13
-Medium: Fanfic
-Titles: Welcome to the Middle Ages
-Setting: S6 after “Once More with Feeling” (I have taken a brief liberty with the timeline relating to certain relationships)
-Pairings: Spike/Buffy with a brief appearance from Drusilla

-Summary: Buffy goes to a local SCA* event to stop a demon plot to turn Sunnydale into an actual kingdom and runs into Spike instead.

-Disclaimer: Neither the SCA nor the characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer are mine. I take no credit for any of that – just inspiration. ::grin::

-Author’s Note: The SCA is the Society for Creative Anachronism. It’s a world wide group that recreates the Middle Ages in modern times. There is a definite hierarchy within the group and, lately, a greater degree of authenticity from when it started in the 60s. For more information go to www.sca.org. As far as I know, there are no actual demons in the SCA. ;)

Drabble: Prompt - Destruction

So, she thought as turned and ran without heed to her surroundings, This is what it looks like – the destruction of self-confidence – an eyelash caught under an eyelid, irritating and blinding.

So, she thought as she watched him disappear into the rain, This is what it feels like – the total destruction of hope and trust - like ground glass churning in my stomach.

So, he thought even as he denied what he was seeing on the screen, This is what it tastes like – the destruction of the last vestiges of love – bitter and dry as ashes in my mouth.

Question to those out in the Whedon'verse

  • Mar. 31st, 2008 at 11:52 PM
inkblot heart by fluidic_icons
Drusilla - was she ever killed? I know Angelus set both she and Darla on fire... Spike nearly staked her for Buffy... but was she ever actually killed? And if so, when? I'm having a hard time putting my fingers on the necessary references. *sigh* I think it's time for bed.

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated! In 6 minutes I will have 15 days to finish this story for Seasonal Spuffy (including getting it beta'd). GAH!

100 Words: Prompt: - Dark

spike rest by enchantress4eva
Dark were those days
Filled with loss and pain
As the demon wept
And the witch denied
And the Watcher watched
Each alone in the dark of their grief.

Dark were those days
Lying in the grave
Covered with earth and grass
The mortal vessel corrupted
Yet the soul
At peace.

Dark were those days
Ripped from the grave
Deafened by the sound
Blinded by the sights
Of Life thrust unwelcome
To the one newly raised.

Dark are these days
Empty of emotion
And the only way to feel
Is to embrace the
Demon, the monster,
And finally find
Release.
