Oooh... Love it! (Welcome to the challenge. :D)

'Fuckwit' is a very perfect word, not nearly used enough. Full of such feeling!

brutti_ma_buoni August 26 2010, 18:09:02 UTC

Thank you! I can't resist the slightly rough-round-the-edges quickie challenge. Apparently...

(Btw, what's the comm view on post-series fics? I have to believe I can write something other than Rulesverse, but if a prompt fitted I'd be tempted.)

ETA Never mind - have managed to read perfectly clear instructions on tagging post-series fic. D'oh.

In case you're in any doubt - if it's Spuffy, we take it; you get to make the exciting decision of whether it's 'post-series' or 'b8'. (Or both!) :)

ITA!

>>But looking like a wreck of her own ghost, bloody of limb, vacant of eye, absent of spirit.

Lovely line!

brutti_ma_buoni August 26 2010, 18:09:42 UTC

Oh good! Was worried it was a tad overwrought, but then overwrought is about right for Spike's brain at this point.

bogwitch August 26 2010, 21:08:30 UTC

I like it like that.

penny_lane_42 August 26 2010, 18:16:41 UTC

Gah. Both of them just catch at my heart during that time period. I want to wrap them in hugs.

brutti_ma_buoni August 26 2010, 18:23:42 UTC

Yes, so much raw vulnerability on both sides. Not surprising they clung together for a while, is it?

hello_spikey August 26 2010, 18:32:50 UTC

yay! Beautiful!
Oh poor Spikey! Such angst! I think we'd all be chain-smokers in that situation.

*pats him*

brutti_ma_buoni August 26 2010, 18:37:59 UTC

Thanks so much! With Spike's angst and lungs, I'd *definitely* be a smoker.

Down to the fag end now. Chuck it away and grind it out. Time to face the new reality.

He’s just about to leave Revello Drive when said fuckwits exit the house and catch his angry tears.

Oooh, good FitB for the before the tree confrontation.

brutti_ma_buoni August 26 2010, 19:06:15 UTC

Thanks so much - I love Spike's emotion in that scene.
