One more tonight, this time with a DRABBLE!

[timepiececlock]

So... where do I find all that finale spoiler fic that I’ve so studiously avoided on LJ? I’m pretty certain wisteria_ wrote one. Did you, anniesj? What about everyone else on my friends list? It’s hard to remember who was spoiled and who wasn’t.

But I want that fic. So come on, tell me! If you wrote a finale fic before it aired tonight, I want to know. I promise to comment, even.


For myself...

I bring you a Spike drabble, series finale.
Written 11:57 pm, finale night of BTVS.


"Something... effulgent."
"I hope you dance ‘til you burn."
"You are dead inside."
"What’s a word means glowing?"

Send the Pain Below


Footsteps faded. He wanted to remember her smell, but all he saw was fire and light.

So this was it. This was magic, fate, life.

It burned. It stung. It was fucking brilliant.

No, he was brilliant. Radiant. It was in him—this came from inside him.

Look at me, he wanted to cry. I have the light. This light is in me.

I have all of this inside of me. William the fucking Bloody. Spike. I am here.

If he hadn’t been trapped glowing like a prismed nova, he’d have laughed.

And I’m not empty.

He smiled, and he shined.

writing a fic bases on spoilers called "falling"

I've been reading that, and it was only based on Touched spoilers. I thought she had more based on all of it. I'll have to check.

Lovely little fic. ::SOB:: ahem...::goes off to continue fic of resurected Spike::

Thanks. :smile: Where's this ressurected Spike fic? I might want to read it. ;)

Love the Spike drabble. Just love it.

I have all of this inside of me. William the fucking Bloody. Spike. I am here.

Wow. I do have more tears.

Love the Spike drabble. Just love it.

Thank you. I'm a big fan of your fanfic (also you're is so much more wonderfully prolific and reliable than me), so it's very nice.

Wow. I do have more tears.

I haven't cried yet. I think I'm going to wait until everyone goes to bed tonight, watch it a third time, and work myself into a big ball of sobbing teenager.

I haven't cried yet. I think I'm going to wait until everyone goes to bed tonight, watch it a third time, and work myself into a big ball of sobbing teenager.

I didn't cry much the first time I watched it, I was too afraid I'd miss something and a little bit in shock. I'm sure when I watch it again, alone, I'll weep like crazy.

Thank you very much for the compliment. I've never been called prolific before...is three stories prolific?

Re:

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

They're long than my stories, and that's what I mean by prolific. At least, I think they are. God, I read too much fanfic. I'm getting confused.

You know, scratch that compliment, and replace it with this one: I know your name in connection to buffyfic, and it's very very positive mental association, so it made me smile.

[fitofpique.livejournal.com]

Eeeeep! I didn't mean to freak you out! ;)

So I'll just say thank you. And your compliment made me smile too.

[circe-tigana.livejournal.com]

That's awesome.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Thanks. You're going to write me something, right? I'll be waiting. ;)

[jidabug.livejournal.com]

Damn. You've made me get all emotional again. That was lovely.

thank you. :)

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

I was emotional last night. I'm getting emotional again this morning.

Lovely! *choked up sob*

(Also, Squee! Chevelle song name!)

*choked up sob*

I know, I know. ::comforting hug:: I wanted to cry.

(Also, Squee! Chevelle song name!)

It's cause I've decided
A) I love that song. More than "The Red". I just hereby adore it.
B) That is SUCH a Spike song.

[girlwithjournal.livejournal.com]

That's lovely. Except, crap, crying again...

Re:

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Except, crap, crying again...

I felt the sudden urge to cry in the car 20 minutes ago. Because of Spike and because I had no one to talk to about him. My friends aren't into Buffy and my mom wouldn't get the level of emoitnal investment I have in the show.

So instead I started talking out loud to an imaginary passenger, mostly consisting of moans of "SpIIIKKKKEEE! Spike's dead! This is awful and I hate it but I loved it too!"

[girlwithjournal.livejournal.com]

I have the same problem. At least the imaginary people don't tell me to remember that Spike is only a fictional character, because he so is not. He's so much more than that.

Hey, your [profile says you live in Berekely! caille lives there too.

I live in San Jose. We could exchange phone numbers and call each other up to talk about the show? You'd have to promise me you weren't a serial killer first.

Re:

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

First of all, I am a serial killer only on the third Sunday of every month, except February, which I take off, so that's cool.

:giggle:

And, um, you're not a serial killer either, are you?

::looks affronted:: Of course not.

Well, sure, there was that one laspe back in middle school, but let bygones be bygones, right?

I am only a part-time Berkeley resident (it's a college thing) and am going home to L.A. for the summer on Saturday.

I have one more year of junior college, and then I'm planning to transfer to the UC in Berkeley. I'll call you tommorrow for fun.
Who should I ask for? My name is Sara. ::holds out mental hand for shake::

[girlwithjournal.livejournal.com]

::shakes:: I'm Anna. And if I'm not around tomorrow, I'm either at darcydodo's birthday party, or letting JM feed me grapes, and you can leave a message and I'll call you back. ::realizes that you probably know how an answering machine works:: Anyway...

Re:

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

I've written your number down, so I'm going to delete this reply from my journal. :)

[girlwithjournal.livejournal.com]

Probably a good idea, although I'm feeling awfully free and easy with my number, considering I'm only going to have it three more days. I mean, how many lunatics can possibly call me in three days? ::blinks:: I probably shouldn't have said that.
