Birthday drabble.

[elisi]

A birthday drabble for jamalov29. She said that something set in s7 would be nice, and after a while, this is what I came up with. Spike's thoughts, somewhere around 'Potential'. (Sorry if I'm repeating what every other fic writer has ever written, but this was what my muse insisted on.)

I hope you like it. *hugs*




I am a part of her life.

Now and again I repeat it to myself, to make sure I’m not dreaming.

I live in her basement. This is my home now.

Sometimes I can hear them argue about me. They say I’m a liability - I’m dangerous. And she defends me every time. Says she needs me. Says I’m important. Says I can be a good man.

And she looks after me. Cares about me. She can be so gentle.

I don’t know if she’ll ever love me, but it doesn’t matter.

She treats me like a man. And that’s enough.

ok:) then I'll ramble on some more:

"Spike's hair has most women swooning I think. ;)"

I find it very amusing, this habit JM has of making negative comments about his hair. about how it's unhandlable, undesireable, looks stupid etc. Surely he must know that we totally love it, no matter what shape, lenght or color he has it in :sigh: I guess I liked Spike's "I got a demon to tame"comment even better, because it made me think of all these cute complaints

"I *know*! It has been my personal canon ever since I first found it."
I think it might be mine too, from now on. Although I missed some description of initial, first aid wound care. (I found another fic which gave me that, but that ended in kissing. that pretty much ruined it for me)

there was however a few things in the Spike POV I have problems with, for instance that my Spike totally understood in NLM that Buffy forgave him.

as to the Christmas-fic you linked, I am almost sad it was put in christmas\Potential. It would have been an absolutely perfect missing scene from Chosen (so great that I would almost have considered changing my personal canon, to make it that story instead:) ) but as a post-Showtime, it didnt work out for me. too fluffy, and not enough of Nurse Buffy in it:)

Although looking at pictures of him when he was younger I can see his point. But he was *very* cute!

Oh I know that feeling - that 'But that *couldn't* happen at that point!' FitBs have to fit into canon seamlessly, or they don't work for me.

You know, it's been that long since I've read it, I can't remember any specific details. I'll take your word for it.

But it was *Christmas*. Christmas needs fluff! Anyway, you should check out her meta. It's among the very, very best out there!

I looked through my folders, and lo and behold I had one! Look here. :) (See what I mean about being cute? I just want to pet him!)

OMG!

you are right, he is adoreable! and so much... younger. do you know when it was taken? or the context? looks almost like a yearbook photo or something...

I *know*! It's so weird!

Afraid I don't know the context, sorry.
