Nominations + drabble

[beer_good_foamy]

Sweet! I got nominated again - and this time for a brand new award comm, which is even more cool. Great to see that this fandom, like the famed parrot, isn't quite dead yet. :-D Thanks so much!

So for kinda_gay_award:

Brazilian (Faith/Buffy) for Best Ficlet
Easy-Bake (Willow/Tara) for Best Willow Slash and Most Heart-Wrenching
Five By Five By Five By... (Buffy/Faith/Faith/Faith...) for Best Lighthearted

There's lots of other good stuff there too, so go check it out and nominate something.

Also, here's a drabble for open_on_sunday's challenge "Pan."

Pan Am Highway Blues
Post-"Becoming"

They run out of road in Panama. After haggling over the fare to Colombia, Spike kills the ferryman and steers the boat himself, as if they couldn't get out of North America quickly enough.

Now he stands at the helm, watching the dark ocean, while the DeSoto sits quiet on the deck. The lights ahead promise a new world, where it's just him and Dru and she'll talk to him again and everything will be back to normal.

And yet... he looks behind him. Bram Stoker was wrong, vampires can cross water just fine. It's going back again that's difficult.

Thanks! And no, you haven't missed much; my muse has been slacking off something terrible lately.

And I'm glad you like my Spike. I'm not sure why I don't write him more - I think it's partly that everyone else does. :-)

Well, not everyone, but certainly a lot of people on LJ.
