Let It Bleed

Wrote me another drabble (I really ought to get around to finishing "Atonement's a Bitch" instead) for open_on_sunday.

Title: Let It Bleed
Timeline: mid-season 4


"Well we all need someone we can lean on..."

"He's got to be a vampire." Spike gestured at the TV as the Rolling Stones played 'Let It Bleed'. "Look at 'im! If Keith Richards isn't undead, I'm Shirley Temple."

Giles shook his head. "Granted, he's not looking very lively, but..."

"Please! 'We all need someone we can bleed on, feed on'? I don't know when he was turned, but I'll bet no one's seen him in direct sunlight in 30 years – HEY! Don't change the channel!"

Giles tried not to let on as his boyhood idols fell. "'Passions' is on."

Also: got me a new userpic! I wonder if people are going to think I'm of the female persuasion now. But I love SMG's look of anticipation in this pic.

Thanks! I've never watched a single episode. In my head, "Passions" is a lot weirder than it could ever be IRL.

oh god, i wouldn't be too sure about that. the first time my friend and saw it (before we had any idea that it existed in the first place) we were like, hey! an improv soap opera! what a neat idea! then, when we realized it was actually scripted, we were car-crash fascinated.
