Fic: Facing the End
Friday, October 24th, 2014 12:43 amgilloPrompt: The Pit and the Pendulum
Rating: G
Length:164 words
An indeterminate time, probably long after NFA.
Facing the End
Spike ducked the slicing blade, swung round, jumped and threw the weapon as he landed on firm ground.
Now it was Buffy’s turn. She’d watched him carefully. Heck, she’d acrobatted her way through worse than this in that nerdy worm’s basement. Of course she could handle this.
She leapt, twisting in mid-air, landing poised and ready for another leap, skewing her body to the left to avoid the swinging thing, balancing on one toe before leaping onward.
Something in her timing was out. As she ducked, exactly as Spike had, her body seemed out of balance and she toppled down, down.
Spike opened his eyes in horror. Nope, that was hilarity. He didn’t even care that she’d gone plummeting to a horrific death?
Not in the slightest. He held out his hand, palm upwards. “Told you, didn’t I? Come on, love. Pay up.”
Buffy winced. Across the screen, in garish letters, the words “GAME OVER” unrolled. Even a Slayer must sometimes meet her match.

But it is May in Sunnydale, California, and the night is balmy. His love's grave, where that blasted demon led him, lies in a bower of willow, only the stone itself looking stark in the moonlight.
He falls to his knees. A year. A whole year since they lost her and buried her, hid her and forgot her beneath this stone only they could see through the obscuring spell to read.
Three hundred sixty-five.

Prompt: The City in the Sea
Setting: post-series.
Standard disclaimer: The characters aren't mine, just the story.
Feedback: Like water.
She stands atop the bluff. He remains behind the vamp-safe glass in the car. She's far from him in body and further still in mind. He doesn't watch her, but merely looks at her for a long time, as she looks at the bay.
When the last ray of the sun's set across the Pacific winks out, he joins her on the cliff's edge. His eyes trace the line where jagged rock meets roiling water.
"It's weird to see it all gone."
"Been gone a long time, love." Her home town has been rubble for a couple human lifetimes now.
"I know, but..." She trails away.
Finally he answers. "Yeah."
They'd heard it was underwater now. Would have guessed it was even if they hadn't. But they hadn't been back to see.
The light is fading from the sky. The water has gone dark and foreboding below them. Of the the town turned sinkhole turned cove, little remains but a few steeples, listing and unbelled. Even the rubble hidden.
Neither of them takes their eyes from Sunnydale Bay.

Fic: Belles
Friday, October 24th, 2014 04:58 pmgilloPrompt: The Bells
Rating: PG
Length: 210 words
Season 6, during Hell's Bells.
Belles
When he sidled into the room with his date he tried very hard not to look at her. The green drew the attention, though, and there was so bloody much of it. Both the witchy girls wore it, in equally grotesque versions, and so did the Little Bitty One, though with her fresh face it didn’t look half so bad. Still terrible, just not quite so brain-bleed inducing.
Then there was Her. Even the most radioactive colour couldn’t make her look less than beautiful to his eyes, and she actually looked happy in a way she hadn’t done for a very long while. She gave him a few moments, too. Saw right through the reason for the girl he had tagging along, even gave him a tiny crumb, just not enough to build anything on.
He’d planned to take the bit of rough somewhere after, give her a good seeing-to, get his own jollies, such as they were. Not in the mood now, though. Wedding bells in his head drowned out all his carnal feelings. His clapper was very much not in the mood for any ding-a-ling.
Towing his bint along with him, he sidled out. Let them all be happy. They had no need for a sour vampire.
