When They Used To Have A Show (Post-series)

She's in Brazil again, where it fell apart. 150 years of blood and madness are almost over: Spike, Angelus, Darla, Sunnydale, LA... all gone. Through the palm trees, the stars sing of a new age. Drusilla knows what's coming before she hears the footsteps approaching.

"Hey. Vampirella."

Willow looks up when Kennedy returns to the hotel room. "Hey, baby. Patrol good?"

"Nah. Just found one, and she hardly put up a fight. Seems we're running out of vamps."

"Y'know," Willow grins, "some might say that's a good thing..."

***

At sunrise, the warm wind ruffles the palm branches, scattering the ashes.

Aw. Perfect voices, and I can just imagine Dru being aware of what was about to happen, and deciding to embrace the future... Very lyrical.

Thanks! Dru's clairvoyance is one of those things I wish they'd done more with... hell, I wish they'd done more with Dru, period. Plus I've always loved the idea of having a big bad villain killed by someone who doesn't even realise who it is.
