Fic: "Bed Wrinkles In Time" (1/1)

[thisficklemob]

Just a short ficlet from me today. I took a bit of a risk with the decidedly unsexy subject matter; I hope you like it anyway. :)

Aww, adorable. I like the idea of established relationship Spuffy with older Buffy and immortal Spike. Actually that would be a kickass endgame for them.

I like it too. I've seen a lot of her dying of old age fics, less just... being middle aged.

Thanks!

Long experience had taught him that his Slayer was a vault when it came to matters she didn't want to discuss.

Lovely description and perfect for both of them. This fic made me smile; the tone of the relationship feels just right.

You're right, there are far fewer middle aged tics (Barb is one of the few to focus on that time period I think?)

Thank you so much. :)

Yay! Buffy getting older is one of my favorite things.

[thisficklemob]

Especially since she never thought she would. Thanks.

she was more likely to settle into them if he just faced her head-on and let her thunk into him like a skiff running aground

Perfect language! Awwww. He's learned all her ways, and still is pleased to be her docking station for comfort, among other things.

when he felt cherished, it tended to make him feel amorous

Well, yes.

This is what I want for them! This whole thing is lovely from start to stop.

Edity bit: relationship had survived made the wrinkles conversation

I have a not-so-secret weakness for head-thunking in fic. Barb had a great line for it once, "butted his shoulder like a disconsolate sheep." There's just something about the simpatico and comfort it suggests that I like.

Thanks very much!

And thanks for the edit.

Perfect description is perfect. :D

LOL Loved it. Real problems, real solutions. Spike made me smile.

[thisficklemob]

I'm glad. :)

[double_dutchess]

Loved it. Great ficlet!

"So, you're saying we might be on a deadline."

Ha!

Thank you! I considered letting Spike go all serious about how her birthdays represented victories to him, but then decided he'd rather focus on something else. *g*
