Getting this in just under the deadline to complete my buffyversebingo card with the prompt "Need". BINGO!

Title: Psychosomatic
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Fandom: Buffyverse (post-"Hole In The World")
Characters/Pairing: Spike/Angelus, Spike/Drusilla, Spike/Angel
Rating: R-ish
Word count: ~1570
Summary: Vampires, by definition, are dead. They really don't need to breathe. In fact, there's a lot of things they technically don't need to do. Funny how they still do them. Here are five vignettes about Spike through the ages, starting and ending at the end of "A Hole In The World".

"Spike drew an unnecessary breath."
- Approximately 7,491 fanfics

( Once, when William's mum was still healthy enough to travel, she took him to visit some relatives in the country.  )

I was just listening to my favourite Bad Movie podcast, How Did This Get Made?. They were discussing Fast And Furious 7, and at one point wonder if there's fanfic of these movies. One (1) woman in the audience yells "YES!" and then has to grab a mike and explain how and what and why and where to the fascinated panel. This woman is now my hero.

Anyway, a drabble for open_on_sunday's prompt "Burn". Remember the little kid from the opening scene of "Lie To Me"?

The Lamb Is Caught In The Blackberry Patch

When the man tells him to run, he does. He's a big boy, he's lived here his whole life, but he runs.

He can still feel the weird lady's eyes on him. He runs faster through the dark streets, rubbing his cheeks. What did she mean, she wasn't a person? Why would his mom sing when she found his body? What was wrong with her eyes?

He runs all the way home, until his lungs burn. Mom hugs him, asks him what's wrong, but he can't explain how everything can be wrong, how he just wants to keep running forever.

Might as well get this posted before I rewrite the ending yet again. Not the brightest and happiest fic I've written. I blame February.

Title: All But Left To Hunger
Fandom: Angel, post-"Not Fade Away"
Pairing: Drusilla/Faith; vague references to Faith/Buffy and Drusilla/Angelus

Word count: ~1300
Warnings: Character death, allusions to past abuse, general Dru POV
Summary: Drusilla and Faith both find themselves in the alley shortly after "Not Fade Away". They're too late to change the future, now they're stuck with the past.
Written for xlivvielockex's Femslash February and snowpuppies's prompt "Faith/Dru, sorrow"

( When she gets there, the battle is over. )

still_grrr's monthly theme is "Love Fest", so here's one het, one slash, and one femslash... thingy. (I'd originally planned for three drabbles, but the last one got away from me a bit.)

It sings to see itself again
It sings to hear the voice it's known
It sings to recognize the face"

( 'Sanguine'. Hopeful. Plus, point of interest, it also means 'bloody'. )

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.

This is for general_buffy's We're Not in Kansas Anymore crossover challenge. I don't know if anyone's ever crossed the Buffyverse and Married With Children before, but hey, it's the show David Boreanaz made his TV debut on so don't get all high and mighty with me. ;-)

Warnings: Slightly un-PC dialogue – this is Al Bundy, after all.
Disclaimer: Not mine. Money? Christ, both shows have been off the air for years.
Summary: Life has just found another way to mess with Al Bundy. And to nobody's surprise, it involves the customers at his shoe store.

For open_on_sunday and the prompt "Palm."

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.

Happy birthday spikendru!

Which seems like a great reason to make some Spike/Dru icons for you, or anyone else who wants:

Number 4.

Also, if you haven't already, check out stormwreath's meta about Buffy s4. Very good read, especially if you were one of those (like me) who thought that naked-back scene with Willow and Tara in "Restless" was just cute, and not really creepy foreshadowing of s6...

Also also, entrenous88 is compiling a list of all 2006 roundups. Check here if you want in.

The November challenge at good__evil is "Evil Drusilla" (or "Good Connor", but that's just not something I'm going to write). Here's a little number I tossed off recently in the Caribbean.

Rating: R
Length: 1000!
Disclaimer: I'm 6'5''. From this fact, it is easily inferred that I cannot be Joss Whedon or have the rights to anything he owns.
Summary: The life and unlife of a being called Drusilla and her closest confidante in 10 drabbles. Rated R for some icky violence.
