Angel: the Series
Title: Different view
Characters/Pairings: Angel, Buffy, Spike; Buffy/Spike
Rating: G
Word count: 300
Summary: Three drabbles, one scene, three POVs.
Spike knew it was her even before he turned around, he felt her. Hell, he felt her even before she entered the room.
And now she was standing there, looking as gorgeous as ever. Her hair pulled high, making her look more, not older, but grown up. Her arms were crossed in front of her chest and her beautiful eyes were narrowed dangerously. They held anger, disbelief, annoyance and awe, all at the same time. But most of all they held an emotion he didn’t dare name.
He heard Angel gasp behind him.
Spike smirked. This was gonna be fun.
The moment she walked in Angel didn’t even react, he simply didn’t believe his eyes. It took him a good few seconds to realize that Buffy Summers was actually standing in his office staring intently at him and his grand-childe. And she was not very pleased.
Her stance was strong and confident, no trace of the little girl he had known. But he still knew her well, very well. And he was sure as hell that he was in trouble.
And then he remembered, he was the head of an evil law firm.
Angel gulped. This was gonna be fun.
Buffy walked passed Harmony without a second glance.
She walked into Angel’s office as if she owned it. Her eyes beginning their search immediately and settling on their target when he turned around and looked at her.
She was gonna play it cool. That was her strategy. Now. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.
The Slayer put all her energy into calming down her breathing and her racing heart and then did her best to intimate the two Master vampires in front of her.
And, surprisingly, it was working out very well.
Buffy let out a sigh. This was gonna be fun.
Title: In LA
Characters/Pairings: Angel
Rating: G
Word count: 136
Summary: Angel broods. But he has a good reason for it this time.
Angel exhaled. He rarely breathed. He didn’t need to so he didn’t do it. But in situations like this, when unlife seemed more miserable than ever, he found small comfort in letting out frustrated air. His hands were berried deep in his pockets and his eyes couldn’t focus anymore. He was beyond tired, he was beyond desperate. He believed that he hadn’t brooded this much in a very long time and that was something. LA had never looked this cruel and cold. He could feel the walls laughing at his misery. Gunn and Wesley had left him. He couldn’t blame them, couldn’t call them cowards. If he could, he would have left too. But he couldn’t and he wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon. So he just bowed his head and followed Cordelia into the next shop.
Title: The Best
Characters/Pairings: Cordelia
Rating: G

Summary: This bath ain’t good enough fo this queen.
As the warm water touched her cold, shivering skin Cordy let out a moan. Nothing could compare to a hot bath after a long, tiring, visions-filled day. Well, maybe some things could but she had to settle for a bath and she was perfectly fine with that. Yup, perfectly fine. She loved these bubbles that hugged her body in all the right ways and the romantic effect of the candles that she’d lightened up around the bathroom. It was all so relaxing and peaceful. And-Oh, who was she kidding?!
She got out of her perfectly perfect bath and picked up the phone. Queen C didn’t settle for anything but the best.
Title: First Impressions
Characters/Pairings: Spike, AtS cast
Rating: G
Word count: 200
Summary: Spike’s POV is the important one.
The brunette was still a hollow chick, no change there. Fashionable clothes, nice makeup, high heels, hair that probably took hours to be done. All the things that guys didn’t care about as long as there was a nice body underneath it all. Chicks didn’t seem to get that. However, Cordelia did have what was needed under all the silly things that she fancied calling fashionable. No point in looking for a brain where a good body could be found.
The Watcher was a surprise. Spike knew Watchers. They were all nancy boys who hid behind their Slayers. It was a shame that they were all English. That one actually seemed on his way to growing a pair. Who would have thought? Ok, so maybe he had only grown one so far but things didn’t look too bad.
Maybe the Poof was having some good influence on these two. Oh, well, who cares, he’ll be dust soon enough anyway. Now, he only had to get these humans wrapped around his little finger. Like taking candy from a kid that was.
They may be on their way to somewhere but Spike has been in that somewhere for a very long time.
