open_on_sunday had the prompt "Prayer" and somehow I couldn't get "Like A Prayer" out of my head, so...

Re-Enactment
1990-ish

Drusilla dances, moving between shadows and light as the flames roar behind her. Then she missteps, frowns, stops. "Why won't they sing the right song, Spike?"

"I thought you liked this song."

"Oh, I do." She's dancing again, moving with the screams from the burning church as they grow fainter. "It's just the wrong song. Not like the lady on the telly."

He grins. "Call it a hunch, Dru, but I don't think this is how Madonna did that video." Then he stands back, watching her dance against the fire, his goddess of destruction and creation. It feels like home.

Beautiful imagery. Eerie, disturbing and oddly endearing, just like our boy Spike and the enchantingly twisted Drusilla.

Thanks! They really are sweet together, especially when they're killing people. :-)

lol - weird but true.
They're the poster children for the perfect anti-hero romance. The truest of True Love in all its dysfuntional and psychotic glory.

This is what I like about Drusilla!

You can make her do whatever crazy shit you like and, as long as you make her explain it in the right way, it stays in character.
