Drabble: Truce

Title: Truce
Setting: Becoming, part I
Prompt: "What if I teamed up with Buffy to defeat Angelus?"
Warning: None
Rating: PG
Word count: 100



Spike watched Dru and her cohorts drag the Watcher out of the school. Minutes later, the Slayer came running at full gallop.

He almost stepped out from behind his tree, almost stopped her as she crossed the parking lot and headed for the stairs. But no. Not yet. The look on her face was one of determination.

He'd hold out a little longer. He was hoping for desperate before showing himself.

It was the best - and perhaps only - chance he had at getting her to go along with his fucked up proposition and not stake him on sight.

Great drabble. You seem to be on a roll.

I was really excited to get to the next step. *has never made a fanmix before*

Tbh, a proper 100-words-exactly drabble still feels like cheating to me. I have difficulties with not writing long, which is why I am in this comm to begin with :) Glad you like it, tho!

It shouldn't to. A proper drabble is an artform. Like a haiku. :)

True, true :) Difficult, though, to capture a moment and everything that happens in one's mind, in just a hundred words. Bit like poetry, in a way.

(which totally should have been one of the challenges in this game btw, I'd rather write a poem than a meta >__>)

Wise choice, Spike!

Was gonna pick this drabble for the 'mess it up' challenge and show what would have happened if he didn't make this choice. But alas, the meta is a brick wall in my way!

I can just see that speculative look on his face!

Slight frown, brows furrowed just a little, eyes clear and shrewd as he watches her face, trying to read as much as he can from it, and from her movements as well. *siiiiigh*
