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.

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?

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.

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

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