Win! And drabbles.

Can I say "Yay"?






I think I say "Yay". Thanks an enormous lot, both to the hard-working judges at Fang Fetish Awards and the good people at still_grrr!

Also, here's four somewhat experimental drabbles for still_grrr's musical challenge.

I was always squeeingly surprised when one of my favourite songs popped up on the series – or, as in the case of The Breeders, even the band themselves. So here are four somewhat weird drabbles on four songs that I loved long before I heard them in the Buffyverse.

Title: Four of my favourite songs #1: Hypno Sex Ray
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Prompt: 015: The Cramps – Hypno Sex Ray (played in "Shiny Happy People")
Characters/Pairing (if any): Número Cinco
Timeline: Early 1950s

Hypno Sex Ray

They were too late.

The five hermanos banded together again. El Diablo Robótico was a formidable opponent, with a loud, rhythmic weapon that turned children against their parents, ripped down the barriers that held society together, destroyed everything that had come before.

They killed him, ripped his transistors out, pulled his head from his body.

But the damage had been done; the devil had the best tunes. As the years went by, Número Cinco could only watch as the skirts got shorter, the hair longer, the electric guitars louder. And no solo career ever took off like the old band.

Title: Four of my favourite songs #2: Little Fury
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Prompt: 015: The Breeders – Little Fury (played in "Him")
Characters/Pairing (if any): Willow, Tara, Amy
Timeline: s5 or so

Little Fury

“Awww. She really loves that wheel.” Willow leans over the cage, smiling.

"Sure, but... there must be some spell we haven't tried."

"No, I've pretty much gone through the book... But look at her run! That's one happy rat."

Amy’s primitive brain can’t really comprehend emotions like joy – or for that matter claustrophobia or hate. Can’t quite remember having opposable thumbs, brownies, magic... can't remember yesterday, really. Just a grating wrong feeling. She keeps running, because the wheel never stops. Three years of DO. NOT. WANT. WHEEL. BARS. CHEESE. DO. NOT. WANT, going round and round, burning into her mind.

Title: Four of my favourite songs #3: Too Drunk...
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy
Rating: PG13
Word Count: 100
Prompt: 015: Dead Kennedys – Too Drunk To Fuck (played in "Destiny")
Characters/Pairing (if any): Zoë/Wash... kinda
Timeline: Pre-BDM

Too Drunk To Fuck

She tumbles into the dark cabin, announcing:

"Be proud o' me, husband, I've fought f'yer honor!"

"Zoë? What..."

"I've... junk Drayne unnera table!" She steadies herself against the wall, grinning. "He called you a lily... pansy... some kinda flower. Cap'n said no fightin' so I challen'd him to a drinkin' contess. That tulip can't hol' his whissey."

"Zoë, this isn't..."

She's trying to take her pants off; it's surprisingly difficult. "Now you 'n I are gonna cel'brate my... vict'ry..." Apparently, celebrating involves falling headlong into bed, snoring.

Simon hits the intercom. "Uh, Wash? I've got something of yours in here..."

Title: Four of my favourite songs #4: I Love You
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy
Rating: PG13
Word Count: 100
Prompt: 015: Silverbullit – I Love You (played in "Potential")
Characters/Pairing (if any): Oz/Willow
Timeline: 28 days before "Wild At Heart"

I Love You

The sunlight comes through the window. 12 hours until moonrise.

Willow stirs next to him.

"Morning."

The moon comes out. The transformation takes seconds. Feels like hours.

"Mmmm... morning." She is warm against him, still half asleep. Then pouts. "Oh. Wolfy tonight, right?"

"Yeah."

"Nawww, no fair. I want my Oz."

She pulls him to her and he is. Whole. Complete.

There's a point, when the bones bend and he can't stand, where everything

splits

and he's neither man nor beast.

Morning. Willow pulls him in. "I love you."

Night. Oz falls into the black and the wolf runs free.
