Fic: Drainage (1/1)

[thisficklemob]

I hope knifeedgefic and ladyofthelog will forgive me for horning in on their day. I had some connectivity problems yesterday, which made it harder to post, but impossible to do final edits in Google Docs.

This is a short early S6 ficlet, from the era when Spike and Buffy were tentative friends.

1. Love the "Mulder, I'm fine" reference
2. Drain-clogging hairballs are indeed hellacious.
3. I love this era in Spuffy history, and it's sadly neglected. Thanks for writing about it.

Thank you! Early S6 is one of my favorite eras, too. I could have happily watched an entire season of friendship and UST. (Obviously, since I also watched The X-Files. *g*)

Awww. Great twist. How in character that she thought it, but didn't say it.

[thisficklemob]

Thanks.

True. To me, it's good she thought it. :)

Buffy was fine. In the "I'm fine, Mulder" sense.

HAHAHAHAHAHA YOU ARE MY FAVORITE PERSON.

"I’m sorry! I’ll pick my hair out of the drain. I’ll come through right after every shower and pick everybody’s out. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Buffy -- "

Oh! Poor Dawnie!

This was lovely and tentative and painful. I love it a lot.

Hee! I started a 'Scully goes to the Hellmouth' fic once. Not sure what happened to it.

Oh! Poor Dawnie!

Yeah. Paradoxically, I suspect Dawn might have been better off if Buffy had shared her pain with her.

Thanks so much.

I liked the quiet, contemplative mood of this.

Thank you.

This is lovely, unspoken and tentative but leaving a sweet taste. Mmmm.

[thisficklemob]

I'm glad you thought so. :)
