"Something Blue" Spaiku, Part 1: Acrimony

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

It's my day, and I brought word truffles! (I hope no one's allergic.) Shout-outs to missmurchison   for encouraging me to sign up and to enigmaticblues   for organizing the whole fabulous shebang. Also, a big thank you to Mister Beta for egging me on and to philips   for her unerring good judgment. And for coining the phrase "word truffles." :D

Other parts will be posted shortly, and I'll have a few from "Tabula Rasa" up a bit later in the day.

Disclaimer: Spike and Buffy are not mine. I'm just gonna borrow them for, like, five minutes, mmkay?
A/N: Here are thirteen Spuffycentric haiku snapshots from "Something Blue." In four parts.
Feedback warms the cockles of my heart. (Heh. I said "cockles.")


I.
Slayer bares her neck;
chained vampire longs to see her
exsanguinated.

“Whole bunch of stones,” huh?
Yeah, she’ll die for a good slay.
Wait—am I kneeling?

Perfectly captured tension. Wonderful.

HA! Poor Spike. I love that part and you nailed the funny of it.

I couldn't resist including Buffy's lame "whole bunch of stones" retort. Hee!

And thanks so much for pimping these! That made my morning.

Hee. Poor Spike. :-)

*shakes head sadly* He's just always in the soup, isn't he?

I'm reading these backwards, so commenting here.

These are BRILLIANT. Ha hahahahahaha. You totally rock.

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

*sputters* You. . .you can't read them backwards, woman! That's cheating!

*lol* Thank you very much. I had a lot of fun with these.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

These are very, very neat.

Thank you! *points to your icon, dies* I love that! And all so true. Why,I had to pry a cat's head out of my armpit not ten minutes ago. Needy little beast. *lol*

Um - what I said later. Thanks for sharing!

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. Thank you for reading!

exsanguinated! What a wonderful word and so fitting in that scene.

Love how you do this.

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Louise! *lol* I was SO excited when I realized that it was a five-syllable word.

Your icon is just perfect.

[moscow-watcher.livejournal.com]

Hee! Terrific!

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed them. I needed an excuse to use this icon. ;)

I seriously and deeply love your brainz. Ms. Mere. You are wickedly talented with word craft. I love the way you make these snapshots shine.

The line:

"Wait- am I kneeling?"

made me grin like a fool. Why yes, you are, Mr. Spike. Mwahahaha.

I cannot wait to read the rest! OM NOM NOMs your truffles. :D

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Awww. *blushes* Thank you so much, dear beans. My brainz are pretty darned fond of you too! I'm so pleased that these made you smile.

*shakes head* Oh, poor Spike. He's just a plaything of the gods. ;)
