Yaaaaaaay!!! This is great! Though poor dragon. :( Nice to see him nice and acidy, though. You can't have enough acidy dragon flesh.

Otherwise, I think we can all tell which parts of London are in your best books - inferior baked goods in Marylebone indeed! I was almost unwilling to forgive you, but then you had Giles make them drink teabags (nice teabags!) from mugs, and I was so happy I was willing to accept Buffy living in Brixton.

Was glad to see Buffy embarrassed by any suggestion she might have been missing Spike. I think she's rather long grown out of teary declarations on that front...

You might want to edit Spike saying that he's an 'Outcast of my tripe.'

*g* Dragons are indeed acidy by nature. Glad you liked this one, despite his awful fate.

Oh, god, Buffy ten years ago and depressed is the perfect person to have moved to Brixton and then hated as it gentrified around her. I know too many people who did just that. And also both nice and vile cafes in Marylebone, identically (over)priced. People who make Giles drink finicky tea with pots and whatnot are wholly wrong, unless it's a special occasion, we are in full agreement.

That is the most glorious typo. Thank you, I have fixed it. Though rather reluctantly.

I love the tone of this, all sprightly and stiff-upper-lip and all that even when there was peril and angst. It was delightful! Also, bonus points for the dragon head in the hallway.

I love it. Tea, dragons, world-weary Buffy, snarky Spike, crusty old Giles and London.

Perfect.

:D Thank you! I wasn't sure I had more Spuffy within me, but the combination from the flist was quite inspiring.

“Please tell me you’re not growing a dragon inside your head,”

I love that line. Love it.
