Apologies to my flist because you are about to get hit with three entries from me.
I wrote this for

Characters: Spike/Dru
"The Queen of Hearts will be dead and gone. The King of Hearts will break and brood alone. The Jack of Hearts will run off with the Queen of Spades and her merry deck. And the Queen of Diamonds will have no home.” Drusilla said softly to herself as she spread the deck of cards on the table. She separated them out, turning the Queen of Hearts over. She pushed the King of Hearts far from the rest while coupling the Jack and Queen of Spades together to the side.
“What are you playin’ there then, Dru?” Spike asked.
“Solitaire.”
