Un-birthday Fic for Erin

[electricalgwen]

Sometimes, your best isn't good enough.

This has been made painfully clear to me this week in a couple of ways, but the relevant one here is apreludetoanend's birthday. Which was Monday. For which I hope someone wrote her some fabulous SPN fic, because she completely deserves it, but it was never going to be me. And for which I started writing her some S/X, got

Cake and Spike, a winning combination...

I followed a link from germaine_pet and I am *so* glad I did. This was a wonderful fic- where I could hear every single voice.

Spike:
“And they call themselves Oracles? Bloody useless posers. Still don’t see why Percy can’t just look it up.” Spike sat on a column fallen crosswise in the aisle and lit yet another cigarette. “Bad idea bringing her back here, if you ask me.” - sarcastic and bored, almost feigned disinterest

Angel: “Humans have been around two million years?” Angel said bemusedly. “I thought it was more like four thousand.” - I can totally see the look on Angel's face as he says this...

Wes: “Angel.” Wesley was running his hands over a series of bas-relief carvings. “This appears to depict an encounter with the entity you described from your dream.” He rummaged in the bag and took out the digital camera. “I’ll take some pictures and work on translation back at the office. The way the runes and carvings are triangulated is suggestive of an ancient Khwaric ritual - perhaps something that could be useful.” - all business and

The Jossverse for you. Yes, absolutely! Fred's death does hurt, so much, but I find Illyria's interaction with the team fascinating and fun to explore.
Thanks for reading and commenting! :)

Lovely!
Poor Illyria - no one remembered her birthday!
Did you get my Illyria fanmixes?

[electricalgwen]

Thanks! :)

I must admit I didn't. I saw them linked from the su_herald and read the list of songs, but didn't download. Until quite recently I didn't really grasp the idea of fanmixes - the way they offer a view or interpretation of the character just as a story or fanart does. Thanks for reminding me, I'll check them out.

I'll re-load them and link you if you like.
