That was great! Just the sort of thing I'd like to see post NFA

[hesadevilspike]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a bugger to write.

“You’re right about one thing,” he said.
Spike raised a hopeful eyebrow.
“This must be a hell dimension if I have to listen to your incessant babbling much longer.”
"Oh, great. Stuck in a fiery hell with you for all eternity. Someone's really got it in for me. "snorfle"
I know what’s waiting for me and it’s not the hero’s kind of reward.”
“In that, you are mistaken,” said Drogyn. “For you have rightly earned your place among the champions.” "snuggles you for that one"
Just what I would love to see in Season Six. Snark and bickering while saving the world. Great job.

[hesadevilspike]

Thank you! Snark and bickering were the easy bit, it's the saving the world that gave me the most trouble.

That was the first thing I wrote and from then on, the ficlet had to go down the humourous route.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Lovely, crackling, interesting banter between the two of them - and a great entrance by Drogyn. Very clever :)
Liked how you paced this too - from the intensity of NFA to the calm of this moment where the fic takes place (aside from Spike's asides *g*) and back out again, keeping on with the fight.
Connor! Eeepy.
Spike looked towards the horde of demons sweeping relentlessly through the alley. "Yeah. Been outnumbered by the Sheriff and his posse before. Know what we do next? ‘S easy.”

“Jump!” Angel interrupted.

“Die,” Spike continued.
Heeeeeee! Very nice :) Enjoyed that!

[hesadevilspike]

Thank you!

I have to admit to stealing a few ideas (Connor and Drusilla) from Soul Searching to overcome the writer's block (Drogyn's appearance was always planned but I took the description from SS) and move the plot forward.

I wanted the feel of this one to be like the scene where Fred and Wes are killing bugs with a flame thrower and Spike and Angel are bickering - a light 'interlude' before resuming the serious business of saving the world again.

Me? I saved a baby. You took down the Black Thorn.”

I love the infusion of humor in the NFA setting. Of course, the banter is always a treat --- and never-ending. :)

[hesadevilspike]

Thank you.

I'll probably put it on gen_storyteller at some stage.

the banter is always a treat --- and never-ending.
Like the fight itself, it's what defines Spike for me.
