Buffy chilling out (literally) on Spike's back is an adorable image and I giggled over Buffy wishing he had fleas that she could catch to show her devotion!

[thenewbuzwuzz]

*g* Thank you! Well, grooming is a crucial part of meerkat social life... (SO I HAD TO)

[sandy_s]

Lol...love the part about Buffy wishing he had fleas! And groveling and realizing that the babies weren't hers. You're doing a wonderful job blending the animal types with the characters!

[thenewbuzwuzz]

Thank you so much! :))
Re: "blending the animal types with the characters": I did a fair bit of agonizing over this, so I'm very glad to hear some of it worked for you.

Wow, that was both sweet and amazingly, even kind of sexy! And educational on the cobra mating front -- I had no idea. (Probably best not to even try doing a Meerkat Smashed :-)

[thenewbuzwuzz]

It was? I hope not disturbingly so. And thank you! ^^
Hell no, I'm not up to doing meerkat Smashed! :D I wouldn't even do regular Smashed, so... the world is safe. Ish.

[double_dutchess]

Umm, yeah? (Oops, what does that say about me!) Not disturbing, but it was definitely different :-)

[thenewbuzwuzz]

Whatever it says about you, it probably already said about me. I mean, I wrote the thing. *g*

'wind beneath a goshawk’s wings' - lol!

And such a great reason for Cobra!Spike to have to stay out of the sun - an albino! Ha, also explains the white - um, skin. Smart!

I love how you manage to pick characteristics of each person and transfair them into charaseristics typical for the respective animal, and it really is recognizable who is who. I especially loved this:
'She fixed some landslides at the burrow entrance and then sunned in the slanting morning light, while her lover combed her hair with his big, manly teeth. ' - after Buffy did some work for the group to keep them all safe he tends to her and combs her hair (which he probably is obsessed with *g*)

Really loved these!

[thenewbuzwuzz]

D'awww, thank you! *g*
Thanks for telling me your favorite line! ^^ It's extra interesting this time, because you definitely have a deeper connection with that line than I did writing it. I love that it works for you!

Her man was so strange sometimes.

Indeed. But they definitely manage to complement each other: he can cool her, she can warm him. Plus, the all-important sharing of the childcare!

Spike reminded himself what he was. A cold-blooded killer!

So you are. Yet, perhaps you don't really enjoy being alone with the eggshell corpses? Just a thought.

Nifty!

Thanks! :))
