Still another drabble for challenge100

I did this one at three in the morning and decided that I'd better wait to post it to see if it still looked as good after sleeping as it did before. I think it holds up.

Title: Sacrifice
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Rating: PG
Words: 100
Disclaimer: Not mine, they're Whedon's. *sob*
Written for: challenge100's #7 "Sacrifice" challenge.
Notes: Takes place during BtVS 7:22 "Chosen." Spike's POV.

---

He'd been willing to sacrifice lots of things over the years. When Dru had been ill, Angel's life was forfeit. To get his Dark Princess back, he'd risked the wrath of the Slayer...and later, to get Buffy, he would have been almost happy to watch Dru turn to dust. Even his self-respect, ground to powder under Buffy's boot, was worth it, if she'd just smile at him. His sanity had been the ransom for his soul.

Now? He was sacrificing his very unlife. And as he burned, he thought to himself that it was, after all, a fitting end.

Title:According to His Nature
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Rating: PG for general ickiness
Words: 100

Written for: challenge100's #36 "From the Shadows" supporting character challenge.
Notes: Takes place after Buffy beats the crap out of Spike in Ep#113 "Dead Things."

---

Walking by the police station, Clem hurried homeward to beat the sunrise. His head was suddenly pulled toward the alley by the strong scent of blood. A friend's blood.

As he tended Spike in his crypt that day, he realized that his injuries were so serious that he might not recover without some special help. Expression resolved, he went hunting behind the Espresso Pump. Spike needed blood, and animal blood wasn't good enough. The caffeine was a bonus, he thought grimly to himself.

After all, he was a demon. People shouldn't be very surprised if he acted like one sometimes.
