Well, it's been awhile...

But, unfortunately, my YGtS fic has come to a complete and total STOP. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. So, I'm drabbling to see if I can jump-start myself.

"What's the matter, Bluebird? Someone repot your favorite fern?" Spike asked.

Illyria regarded him sourly. "Wesley referred to me as an 'abominable azure aberration.' My presence, he said, is unnatural and unhealthy and not to be borne."

"Get your feelings hurt, then?"

"I have no regard for the drunken ramblings of an insect such as he."

Her expression told him otherwise. He winked, stepped close to her, and whispered in her ear. "Well, luv, I think you're a splendid sapphire stunner, myself."

Her eyes followed him as he walked away. Yes. She definitely wanted to keep Spike as her pet.

"My Spike." Dru opened her eyes and smiled drowsily.

"Tell me what you saw, pet." In the few years since his turning, Spike had come to value her visions.

A tiny line of concentration appeared between her exquisite eyebrows. "Troubling things. A horrid little trinket going ‘bzzt bzzt bzzt.' My dark knight in a white hat. A Slayer with a golden chain around your heart. And a Blue Fairy, come to make you and Daddy real boys again."

He stroked her hair and gave her a tolerant smile. "No worries, poodle. Not all your fancies come to pass, after all."
