Wolfram and Hart did not pay Ingleby enough

In these situations, I imagine there is no "enough". Yikes.

Ingleby did very well, keeping it together in his vampire-proof suit. But Dru! Dru was in prime form - vicious, inhuman, creepy x 11, childlike, and inappropriate. And, in my head, gloriously beautiful!

I'm going to file this under "totally happened". Thanks for another gem!

[brutti_ma_buoni]

Nope, and exactly how Ingleby got this gig is an unwritten fic that interests me. *g*

So glad this works for your Dru; I think you think more about her than I do, and I love that you like this.

Ugh. Very Drusilla. It takes a lot to make one feel sorry for a W&H functionary, but this works. Very disturbing - in a good way.

[brutti_ma_buoni]

Just doing my job, dammit. Urgh. Yes. The practicalities (always an area that interests me) are mind-boggling.

Ooooh, this is neat. And not just because people have been making snow angels all over town this week. This is so Drusilla it tingles, though that might be frostbite. I'm with rebcake, this is definitely how it went down.

[brutti_ma_buoni]

!! So pleased this works for your headcanon. I love a good creepy Dru.

[waddiwasiwitch]

Wonderful. So Dru. Really evocative imagery.

[brutti_ma_buoni]

Thanks so much! I'm glad it worked for you.

[snogged]

This was incredibly well done.
You captured Drusilla very well here - creepy, insane, and still completely whimsical.

:)

Thanks so much! Dru is so unconscious of her strangeness that she terrifies me even on the page.
