I'm still not convinced the dialogue is quite right, but I'm my own worst critic and this is my first attempt at Buffyverse fic, so I can only get better, right?

It felt like something she'd do, the helpless act to get herself invited inside where she could feed, maybe on a whole family; it would delight her, making pretty patterns with their blood.

If this is your first time at Drusilla dialogue I'm impressed. It is difficult to write "insanity" - by all means keep going.

Prompts are welcome; I'm going to try to fit in rewatching BtVs (along with everything else I'm trying to squeeze in to what free time I have). I'd like to write more in the fandom and Dru is one of my favourite characters. If I get prompts from other people, I can post them on the prompt community I belong to and write them myself during the next challenge!
Glad you liked this one, and thanks for commenting!

I watched the show two years ago and it amazes me how, for a show with a female protagonist and several important female characters in her life, how little interest there is in exploring those relationships; in proportion to the amount of "shippy" fic.
Or I guess it shouldn't have surprised me?
And more Drusilla fic, oh yes please! I'm terrible at prompts you should know; or rather, I'm quite good at coming up with scenarios or ideas for other people to fill (aka fics I've thought of but know I'll never write) but terrible at prompts as I generally see them: two characters and you must use this one word, etc.

"Pretty flowers all turned to dust." So IC.
"The men say it’s for her protection from the demons that stalk the night, but she sees the lust in their eyes." Love that detail.
"Because fear makes their blood even sweeter." Perfect ending :D
Totally enjoyed reading <3
