"Happy Christmas, pet," Spike said, handing Fred an elegantly wrapped package. Tongue stuck in the corner of her mouth in concentration, she carefully took the paper off , then gasped in astonishment.

"Spike, this...this is..." She reverently opened the cover of Einstein's "Relativity, the Special and General Theory." "Signed! A signed first American edition!" She flung her arms around his startled neck. "Where on earth did you find this?"

"Got my sources. It's a bit of all right, then?"

"It's perfect. You're perfect. I've got your present back at my apartment."

He lifted his eyebrow. "Well, what are we waiting for?"

Written for: challenge100's "Sex" challenge, which states "You don't have to write sex, per se, but anything that relates to sex in some way, shape, or form. You can go as tame as hand-holding or as raunchy as you like."
Notes: Takes place directly after my "Gift" drabble. Since any sex scene written by me would result in gales of inappropriate laughter, this will be pretty tame.

Fred's walls were decked in Christmas finery. A small tree glowed in the corner; a creche decorated an end table. Fred set two glasses of eggnog down, then took a gift from under the tree and handed it to Spike.

"You're not very easy to shop for, you know," she said, a little nervous.

He tore the paper off, revealing a matted and framed set of broadsides of Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky"--and grinned in delight. "How did you know?"

"I have my sources," she said impishly. "Like your present?"

In answer, he grabbed her and kissed her thoroughly. "You're perfect."

Written for: challenge100's #37 "Down This Road" Sky Fits Heaven challenge.
Notes: Kate got fired. What did she do after Angel rescued her from her suicide attempt?

---

Angel had said, "If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do." I can't be a cop anymore; they fired me from the force for cause and I'll never work in law enforcement again. So how can I make a difference? I've thought about going to work for Angel, but I'm not sure they'd want me...or that I want to work for a vampire.

Well. No family left, no real friends. I can go wherever I want. I've heard interesting things about Cleveland. Maybe I'll go there, put up a shingle, and do some good.

Yeah.

Fourth drabble for the day for challenge100

Heh. This one actually pretty much wrote itself after I started it; go figure. I've only been worrying about it for a week.

Four to go.

Fifth drabble of the day...

Cookin' with grease!

Title: Fugitive

Rating: PG
Words: 100
Disclaimer: Not mine, they're Whedon's. *sob*
Written for: challenge100's #4 "Fugitive" challenge--your character is fleeing from the authorities. Explain what they did and why they're running instead of giving up.
Notes: Lorne makes a decision.

---

Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan barricaded himself in the barn. Narwek had told him that if he didn't swing the crebbil at the Bach-nal this year, they'd punish him by pulling out his entrails and feeding them to the Helldogs while he watched. But his heart just wasn't in it, and he felt that it was somehow...wrong...to kill the cows that his people used for slaves and food.

He didn't belong here. As he performed the ritual to open the portal, he thought to himself that he didn't know where it went, but anywhere was better than Pylea.

Written for: challenge100's #19 "You Say That Things Change, My Dear" challenge.
Notes: Inspired by the following Tori Amos lyric: When you gonna love you as much as I do? Spike's POV during Season 6, sometime after "Wrecked."

---

She's off, again. When the sodding hell will she embrace all the facets of her Slayerness? The ancient shamans had seen that, to fight the darkness, their Slayer needed to embody of the dark. It's not something to be fought, but channeled.

I can help her with that, if she'll let me. God knows I've been channeling my dark side for the better part of two years. But no. She hates me, hates herself for being with me, and won't ever accept my aid, no matter how often I tell her I love her.

And that's really very bloody sad.

Sunnydale residents were a clueless lot. All that stood between them and things that went bump in the dark was one girl. As they went about their business during the day, they were oblivious to the fact that vampires and demons would have overrun their town long ago, if not for the Slayer, plying her trade at night.

And that was only right, Buffy thought. Protecting them from the knowledge that the monsters under the bed were real was her job, and she enjoyed knowing that she was so good at it that the townsfolk had no idea she existed.
