Hi all. Back from vacation in Mexico. I'll make a photo post soon with all the nifty pictures. In the meantime, a drabble inspired by that beautiful blue Caribbean water.

Title: Landfall
Timing: Post-NFA
Pairing: Spuffy

The upside-down expanse of sea stretches out indefinately, a ribbon of teal filling the sky to the horizon. She wonders why this blue ( Read more... )

Looks like you has an awesome vacation. Lovely spuffy drabble.

I did have a great vacation. For all my angsting over the travel plans and accomodations, overall it was a wonderful time.

Glad you enjoyed the drabble. I have this bizarre love for water metaphors (there's so many of them!), so I wanted to see how far I could take that idea.

Mexico looks like paradise.

I love your drabble , it brings wonderful sensations.
Thrashed in the rolling breakers, she drifts toward the blue she knows best; Spike's arms her quiet shoal amidst the warring current. Oh yes.

That picture is from the window just outside our room on our last day there. The water was really that breath-taking. For most of our stay, though, it was overcast or partly-cloudy.

I love water metaphors. When I saw this picture, I knew I just had to write a little something.

I hope you had a good time. It certainly looks scrumptious. Your Spike is as enduring as the sea. Lovely.

I did have a good time! There were a few problems with reservations we had for an excursion, but it got worked out. More on that when I post the pictures.

Your Spike is as enduring as the sea. Lovely.
One day I should really write one of these Spuffy drabbles from Spike's perspective. I'm always inclined to do it from Buffy's POV. It's easier for me to write the female characters.

Oh, that was an awesome drabble. :-) Very well done! :-D And you seem to have had one awesome vacation to!

I'm glad you liked it.

Yeah, vacation went pretty well. I got to see some really beautiful sights but, best of all, learned a lot about the Mayan culture and got to interact with all sorts of neat sealife. More to come when I post the pictures.

Nice to se eyou back. Looks like your holiday was very inspiring.

I'd say it's good to be back, except... you know, it's snowy and cold!

Looks like your holiday was very inspiring.
Heh, i'm not sure that I have much more fic in me based off of Mexico, but it was refreshing. Relaxing would be stretching it. Gus and I were out and about nearly the whole time. I'm not the "sit on the beach and stare" sort. I like sightseeing. I have some great pics of the pyramids at Chichen Itza. I'll get them up soon so you guys can see. Very impressive!
