FIC-sorta: A dubious sequel to Snow White Queen
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: Willow Rosenberg x Spike
Theme set: Gamma
Rating: PG-15
Written for: 1sentence - basically, one sentence per prompt.
Note: This is a sort-of sequel to Snow White Queen (which is NC-17) that spans the following years.
Note2: This was harder than it looked, and I discovered I'm not very good at describing what I need in a single sentence - hence a horrendous use of commas and dashes.
01 - Ring
Sometimes Willow looks at her classmates' engagement and wedding bands, and envy wells up in her chest, wishing for such a public token of intention that's recognized by more than the underground demon community.
02 - Hero
The day that Willow came home, trailing a litter of demon pups behind her like she was the conquering hero with her legion of adoring fans, Spike couldn't stop laughing for a week - until he realized she intended to keep them all.
03 - Memory
It was strange what remained despite her amnesia, because neither of them could have predicted the well of information Willow had retained in her memory, locked in there after years of researching demons and the odd apocalypse for the Slayer.
04 - Box
Spike was never one for anniversaries or special occasions, but he did occasionally make an effort to leave a plain brown box topped with a ribbon on the kitchen table for Willow to find when she got back from classes - the smile on her face was always worth it.
05 - Run
Spike couldn't understand it, but the early morning runs made Willow happy - plus he got to join her in the shower after, so it was a plus in his book.
06 - Hurricane
The weekend that Buffy came to town was a whirlwind of activity, as Spike kept his minions running around New York in an attempt to kept the Slayer away from his territory and his witch.
07 - Wings
Huh - so cupid really did have wings.
08 - Cold
“You're room temperature, I'm not - turn up the heat, Spike!!”
09 - Red
She was not suppose to bleed like that - ever!
10 - Drink
Spike looked at the half-dead witch lying limp on the bed and said “Well, pet - at least you have a tequila story, now.”
11 - Midnight
'Midnight Blood' - the hour of death - The title alone made the book a worthwhile purchase for a giggling Willow, but the picture on the cover was pure delight.
12 - Temptation
Sometimes she would pick up the phone and start to dial Buffy's number - obtained through a helpful online 411 - but inevitably hung up before she finished dialling.
13 - View
“Yeah, the view of hookers and decomposing sewage is a selling point - Next!”
14 - Music
When the mood hit right, Spike would sit down at the rarely-used piano and play for hours, and Willow would sit quietly by, silently absorbing the echoing melodies.
15 - Silk
The green silk dress reached just above her knees and had a camouflaged slit up the side that provided tantalizing views of slender thighs, just the thing to drive a master vampire crazy on their anniversary.
16 - Cover
“Would you look at this - bloody embarrassing!” Spike ranted, holding out the book 'Midnight Blood', which sported a realistic likeness of Spike as the blood-thirsty cover monster and the author as Dawn Summers.
17 - Promise
When they'd first settled in New York, he'd made a promise to himself that he'd give Willow whatever she wanted, and if that meant medical school, then that's what his witch would get.
18 - Dream
She sometimes had dreams that seemed to come from another life, where Spike came after her with a face full of fangs, throwing her on a bed with more violence than he had ever directed at her, or where she was dancing with some blonde girl, floating above the heads of an entire club full of people, but the dreams always faded upon awakening, leaving behind nothing but a vague sense of longing.
19 - Candle
Spike followed the trail of lit candles that led predictably to the bedroom, and felt an unneeded breath catch in his throat at the sight of his Willow, in all her lingeried sexyness, splayed out on the bed as an offering.
20 - Talent
She'd spent so much time bandaging up wounds on both demon and human alike, that Willow figured she should do it right by going back to school to put her acquired talent to the test.
21 - Silence
He hadn't realized how just her presence filled the room, until she was gone.
22 - Journey
It had taken longer than most, but she was finally there - Dr. Willow Rosenberg.
23 - Fire
The demon world called her 'Flame', a name and reputation garnered after the time Spike was ambushed and she thought him dead - the magical energies crackling around her, lighting her hair as if it were on fire.
24 - Strength
He didn't know how to go on without her - he wasn't strong enough anymore.
25 - Mask
It took every ounce of will power she had, but Willow refused to let these pitiful excuses for vampires see her fear or anger - she'd leave that for Spike.
26 - Ice
“Put some ice on that love, and remember for next time that the wall is harder than your hand, so don't go punching the bloody things.”
27 - Fall
Every time they kissed, Willow fell in love all over again, and she hoped the day would never come where that didn't happen.
28 - Forgotten
Sometimes she wondered if Spike had told her the truth back in Sunnydale, concerning her life before her amnesia, and only now wondered at the wisdom of not getting a second opinion.
29 - Dance
On the opening night of their first Sanctuary club, he watched her dance amid a mix of humans and demons, smirking as the dancers made an effort to avoid touching her, while sending fearful glances in his direction.
30 - Body
Running his hands up and down her figure, Spike knew he'd never get tired of this beautiful creature in his arms.
31 - Sacred
The minute she walked on to the vacant lot, she knew that this was the place - the best land to build a Sanctuary club on.
32 - Farewells
It had almost killed him to let her go, but Willow hadn't wanted to be turned - if it was the last thing he did, he'd respect her wishes.
33 - World
“I'm not taking over the bloody world, pet - just a suburb of New York that no one will miss.”
34 - Formal
Spike barely glanced down at the lithe form kneeling at his side as he addressed the occupants of his newly obtained territory for the first time, saying instead “This is Willow - look at her wrong, and if she doesn't gut you like a lowly Qu'iate demon, then I will.”
35 - Fever
Spike watched her body twist and turn as she fought her way free of the virus, reminding him all too vividly that she was still only mortal.
36 - Laugh
He loved to make her laugh, and tried his best to get her past the hysterical laughter and in to the snorting, if only to make fun of her.
37 - Lies
Willow had always known that Spike hadn't been completely honest about their life before her amnesia, but after a few years, she lost the desire to call him on it.
38 - Forever
Willow had thought long and hard before making her choice, not wanting to leave her vampire behind, but her decision was made - she wouldn't allow Spike to have the soulless shell masquerading as her, she wouldn't become a vampire.
39 - Overwhelmed
He couldn't stay in this apartment, in the neighbourhood or even the city - every corner he turned just reminded him of all that he had lost, reminded him of her.
40 - Whisper
In the morning he doesn't remember what he said to her the night before as she'd trembled in his arms from half-forgotten memories and dreams, but knows that it was enough.
41 - Wait
“Willow, stop pacing - they won't be posting the exam results for another hour.”
42 - Talk
“Bloody women and their silent treatment!”
43 - Search
If they thought they could take his witch and break him, they obviously hadn't faced a master vampire on the hunt for his human mate - they would take weeks to die.
44 - Hope
He'll be ok. He'llbeokhe'llbeok!
45 - Eclipse
They'd danced on the sidewalk one dark afternoon, celebrating life under the blacked out sun.
46 - Gravity
Her favourite magic trick was always the gravity-defying ones, where she'd float herself across the room, the park, or - on one memorable night - the entire city of New York.
47 - Highway
Spike eased his grip on the steering wheel a little more with each mile marker they passed, leaving Sunnydale and its dangers in their wake.
48 - Unknown
Staring sightlessly out the tinted car window, Willow played absently with the choker that signified the only thing she was absolutely sure of, and wondered where this life would take her now.
49 - Lock
“Damnit, woman - open the bloody door!”
50 - Breathe
“Breathe, baby, you've got to breathe for me. Please.”
