Spuffy Drabbles

[bearfacedcheek.livejournal.com]

Hello seasonal spuffers. My posting day today and so I begin with the drabbles. A handful of hundred worders for your enjoyment. But let me first thank the fabulous slaymesoftly for getting her red pen out and doing a last minute grammer check on this for me. Cheers my dears.

First a drabble inspired by elisi

Showing off

She knows he's watching her. She spins and kicks and back-flips around her graveyard theatre and enjoys the secret adulation of her audience.

When she's finished off these demons, she should send him away but she'll probably just strike a little pose and toss her glossy hair.

She ducks her head as she kicks in a move that pulls her leather pants tight over her backside and the thought of him appreciating the sight gives her a thrill.

There's nothing to it, she's not trying to seduce him, she's just a little vain some nights and can't help showing off.

Pavlov's Buff

"Night Pet." Her eyes track his leaving.

"Buffy!" Willow smirks. "Little drool."

She glares a moment, then sighs. Caught. "Who was that guy? The one who taught dogs to ring bells when they ate? "

"Pavlov? But he rang the bell to-"

"Whatever. That's me: Pavlov's Buffy. Spike calls me 'pet'; I dribble"

"Poor Buffy's conditioned responses"

"Willow you know science; fix me"

"You can stop the dog reacting to the bell Buffy, but you can't stop it wanting the food"

"My analogies; always gross."

"Buffy."

"Yeah?"

"Go eat."

A moment's indecision then she grins. "Well I am kinda peckish."

Her right

She tests him even years of love and trust later. Lays her hands weakly on his chest: "Stop"

His compliance is always instant. A second later he is across the room, stricken and trembling with regret.

She doesn't reproach herself - though she never fails to follow him then, with love and gentle comfort - for this is her right.

The right she earned with his betrayal, to make him mindful. To put aside her power and with a whisper to command him, "No"

"Sorry. God, Buf.."

"Hush."

And when she is satisfied, she lets him love her and tries to kiss away his tears.

And finally a silly one for the Buffy geeks out there.

Vegas Dreaming

"Giles. I had a dream"

"A slayer dream?" He lifts his gaze from the accounts in front of him and frowns worriedly.

"I dreamt Spike was alive." Her voice hitches and she takes a second to swallow back the pain. "I need to find him."

"My dear," He's all sympathy and patience "Not all your dreams are prophetic, please don't raise your hopes"

"Giles!" She gives him an incredulous eye roll and kicks a box of notepads for emphasis.

The phone rings and she crosses her arms pointedly as he answers it. "Vegas Office Supplies. How can I help you?"




Hope you enjoy them and just so you know I'm not adverse to a bit of feedback. Go on you know you want too

[bearfacedcheek.livejournal.com]

So glad you enjoyed them, cheers

[darynthe.livejournal.com]

Brilliant, all of them. Especially "her right". Love it!!!!!! O_o You may want to expand that one!

[bearfacedcheek.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked. hmmm i'll give that some thought, might be interesting

[thedeadlyhook.livejournal.com]

The "Fool's Gold" one really stuck with me. So bittersweet.

[bearfacedcheek.livejournal.com]

Ooh gald youliked that one, I enjoyed writing it

[the-nites-gurl.livejournal.com]

Great Drabbles! I especially like Her Right. That was very powerful. Great Job!!!

[bearfacedcheek.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, glad you liked it

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

All very unique and different; Fool's Gold is especially sad and touching but Showing Off reminded me of this icon "points upward" by ruuger.
Nice job.

[bearfacedcheek.livejournal.com]

LOL love that icon It's taken teh edge of me feeling so horrible for not quite finishing my other contribution

[zanthinegirl.livejournal.com]

These were great! I espeically like "Fool's Gold"; but "Her right" made me sniffle slightly. Very nice!

[bearfacedcheek.livejournal.com]

*wave* hia. Glad you liked my dear

[kitmarlowescot2.livejournal.com]

"Her Right", not to sure about that, does she trust him or doesn't, or just does it to make sure he won't hurt her again?

[bearfacedcheek.livejournal.com]

I'm kinda glad that you're unsure I don't like things to be so obvious. She tests him because she can i think becuase she likes to afirm that he is trustworthy. Thanks for thinking about it

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

I really liked "Showing Off." The phrase "her graveyard theater" was very nice.

[bearfacedcheek.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked that one. I thought about it when out dancing with my girls. We women do like to be watched and appreciated don't we?

[jerusha]

Very well done. I liked them all.

[bearfacedcheek.livejournal.com]

Why thank you.

[louise39.livejournal.com]

Very nicely done. Her right was a little scary--you can almost but not quite ever forget, just like Buffy.

[bearfacedcheek.livejournal.com]

I think we spuffers do like to ignore the attempted rape thing a bit (i know i'm guilty of it) so it's interesting now and again to think about how it would effect Buffy long term

[moscow-watcher.livejournal.com]

Love the drabbles.

I can't stand you. Never leave me

So Spuffy! :)

[tom-all-alones.livejournal.com]

*sniffles* These were lovely. the penultimate one was really sad. Loved them!

[spikereader.livejournal.com]

You write such great drabbles - and these are all so different and effective in their own ways. Her Right in particular is so strong and thought provoking.

(See you're still using your Ralf icon - watched an old ep of Two Pints of Lager last week and thought of you *g*)
