I hate real life at the moment. I am so incredibly pissed off at not getting the promotion that compared to me Willow was merely mildly irritated by the shooting of Tara. However possession of guns is illegal here so I won't go postal.

Instead I'll post. This is a drabble I wrote for the "Shapes of Spike" series on the Bloody Awful Gutter. AtS S5 spoilers.




Girls Just Wanna ...

When we fought to the death I killed him first.

Now I call him ‘pet’ and hit his nose. I take his ‘clipboard’. I mock his blows. In truth his skill is great for one who has had little more than one century of combat. He grows angry; yet his eyes sparkle, the corners of his mouth turn up.

I am diminished. Reduced. Trapped in this place, in this shell, and I must learn.

From Wesley I learn to care. From the chieftain I learn of the mission.

And from the white-haired one?

I think I learn to have ‘fun’.






And now back to work on the ficathon story I promised [livejournal.com profile] i_digress_uk. Deadline 3 days away, probably half way through it, but it's really flying now. Shame it doesn't call for the hideous mutilation of a Call Centre manager or two.

Oh, that made me happy all over. So yay. And I'm sorry that your boss is a ball of suck.

Lovely Illyria perspective. (The nose/blows bit makes me wonder if you've been writing too many season 7 musical lyrics for HVN.)

I didn't spot the rhyme, it's pure accident. However ...

I call him pet, I hit his nose
I take his clipboard, mock his blows,
I grab his arm, and do some serious harm,
To his outdated clothes.
And I will punch the vampire
Some bloodsuckers will never learn
That I am filled with desire
Though I look stern.

I go in with some body shots
I think his ribs are getting cracked
I knee his balls, he very nearly falls,
I hope they're still intact.
For I would shag the vampire
Harmony has had her turn
For I am filled with desire
Though I look stern.

Hee! And I can see her 'singing' it, too, with a deadpan-yet-slightly-cranky Rex Harrison delivery and endearingly stiff gestures.

Gorgeous antidote to a very nasty Tuesday, you are.
