A quick hello...

[elisi]

Weekends are *not* good for LJ! Too much family time, too little me time (of course I am incredibly lucky to have a wonderful family etc. But...)

Anyway, I came to ask if anyone knows of a Spike & The Coat icon? (As in, Spike walking along wearing The Coat, all swirly and stuff.) One that makes you go 'Spike/Coat OTP4eva!OMG!' (No text necessary btw), I don't have one, which I'm beginning to realise is v. bad. Because I want one. (Or maybe something like this, but without the vamp face...)

And a small fannish thought for the day. I cannot count the ways in which I love ‘First Date’, and I’m not about to start counting. All I’ll mention is the Buffy and Spike’s tandem explaining to Giles about the chip. Because it is such a wonderful evocation of their tandem lying to Joyce back in ‘Becoming’

Buffy is even wearing identical hats!






ETA: You could also just check out the brilliant icon that I'm using! (By the_royal_anna!)

Points to icon. :)

I must have Spike/Coat icons somewhere. I shall go and have a look.

[elisi]

That is so cool!!!! Can I snag?

And thank you for looking - I've scoured my icon folders but found nothing. *sigh* Ideally I'd love awmp's 'Absolut Spike', but sadly she's not sharing that one... (perfectly understandable, but - sigh!)

Of course! I'd almost forgotten about it until you posted this today - I don't think I've ever used it until now, so it will be lovely to send it to a good home. :)

I've been looking high and low, and strangely I don't think I have a Spike/Coat icon, either. It does seem a great oversight!

[elisi]

Yay! It's so lovely. :)

It does seem a great oversight!
It does indeed... I'm going to have to look up screencaps when I have some spare time and then find an iconmaker to bribe! *g*

(It's all because I watched 'Get It Done' the other day and Spike-getting-his-coat-and-cool-back is just totally *guh*!) (I'm sooooooo shallow, I know!)

I'm having no luck with this at all here, and if I had more time I'd try and make a better version, but I really must go and do useful things! Anyway. It's yours if you want it. ;)

[elisi]

That is very lovely indeed.... Mmmm duster...

Will definitely keep it!

Or, variation on a theme...

[elisi]

Oh even better! *loves* Will upload as soon as my internet connection gets a little less unstable.

Does the text say anything?

[the-royal-anna.livejournal.com]

Nothing very original..."get it done" seemed to sum it up quite nicely. :)

[elisi]

Of course! I am stoopid! *g*

Thank you again, it is gorgeous!
