DRABBLES

There are a selection of Drabbles that were written at different times ... and for different reasons.

 

 

WE CAN REST IN PEACE.


The Apocalypse is coming. Who cares?
I don't!
My girl is hurting. Who cares?
No one but me!

Yes, she is my girl. She asked me to stay. She trusts me to hold her tonight.
Tonight, forever.
She is my girl, my slayer, my love, my Buffy.

The pain of last year has gone. She has forgiven me ... No I am not going to think of that time. We have moved past that to this special place.
Our place. A coming battle.
Together we can face anything.
This time she will live, because I will make it happen!

 

This was written for a LiveJournal drabble challenge in January 2007 and is un-bet'd.

 
 
 
 
 
LOVING ALL THE WAY


“I want to see how it ends!”
 
The last thing he said and Buffy heard him as she ran to safety. As she rushed to survive and live the life he was dying to give her.
 
How could he do that? 
 
He proved that Angel was correct. The very first thing she had ever heard about Spike was that once he started something, he would never give up. His Grand-sire knew that about him.
 
She knew that he could love with all his being. However she was also learning the hard way, that when he loved, he gave his all.
 
 
 
 
THE AIR SMELLED OF SUNRISE.

The air smelled of sunrise, he knew he had to stand up and head for his crypt.

How much longer could he continue with his life?

Patrolling with the Scoobies, then sitting with his girl.  Patrolling without the Scoobies, then sitting with his slayer.  Her place of rest was protected, her sister was cared for, her friends were looked after and her calling was continued.

Without her, how much longer could he continue with his life?

"'Till the end of the world" ... Thats how long.

SPUFFY LIMERICK

In 2009, for the Spring Seasonal Spuffy group of LiveJournal, the theme was poetry.  So, as one of two offereings I submitted, I wrote this Spuffy Limerick :-

There's a really great group called Seasonal Spuffy
That's all about the Slayer called Buffy.
When she ends up with Spike,
Who's the Vampire we like,
We really do feel warm and fluffy.

 

 

GILES, THE WATCHER 

Allowing the noise to fade, he realised how much his words were true.

“19, it’s hard to believe.”

When she was assigned to him he thought that his task would be hard and brutally short. Teaching her to use various weapons, and how to identify assorted demons.

Slowly he accepted her friends into his care, knowing that it made things easier for her, but so much harder for him.

Now he sits and faces his hardest task, to see her growing up and enjoying her life is wonderful, but it does mean that he is now watching from a distance

 

 

 



WHO'S THE WINNER?


"Right I'm off to find the drink!" With those words Spike walked confidently across the room of Lowell House, leaving a surprised Anya and Xander in the doorway.

Although he swaggered among the people, inside he was worried that the apparent fog would wear off and he would be noticed as the missing Hostile 17.

"Drink" he muttered to himself as he spotted a table set round a corner in the quietest corner. Once there he approved the soldier's taste and poured himself a tumbler of JD and leant against the wall taking in the surrounding spectacle.

As he relaxed he knocked something off the wall, and bending to pick it up he saw it was one of the many sheets of lists that military people seem to collect. Hanging back the clipboard on its pin he spotted The Slayer's name in some of the boxes, and tracking across the rows he noticed it was aligned to the slot where Riley's name was. Puzzled he studied the sheet further and found that the top row was a list that made the Kama Sutra look polite.

For the first time ever Spike envied Riley. The Initiative may spend their working days mutilating Demons, but in the spare time, they found more interesting ways to make use of army equipment.

An army score sheet, with a difference ... and it looked as if Buffy would be the winner.
