Note: A few weeks ago, I wrote a ficlet for the prompt "Silver Lining" at slashthedrabble. Only when I went to post it, I realized the prompt was not, in fact, "Silver Lining" -- I had mistaken the title of someone's posted drabble for the prompt. Anyway, here it is. 300 words

I love this! It made my eyes mist up and it's touching and perfect and wonderful in every way!

The thing is, from a distance, Spike seems deceptively huge -- an enormous presence that fills up a room, stomping and swearing and swirling his coat. Like a rolling storm-cloud, all sound and fury

Perfect, nail-on-the-head description there!

Thank you, thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it, and I hope you're doing well.

[baudown]

Oh, you're too nice. Thanks much.

[baudown]

And ha!

[baudown]

Oh, good...I sort of worried that those last lines didn't deliver, so I'm pleased they worked for you.

Thanks!

Gorgeous - love the thought of Spike as the big spoon.

[baudown]

Mmm...me too! I've been picturing it in my head. Vividly.

Thanks, hon.

sparrow2000 once said that they're both betas who sometimes want to be alphas. I think that's a pretty apt description.
