agilebritWell. It came out to 200 words exactly, after tweaking; but after reading the FAQ at challenge100, I've decided not to post it there. Even though it has a natural place where it can be split in two, they don't stand alone or tell a complete story by themselves, so I don't think that it technically fits in with the community.
That being said, I like how it came out, so I'm posting it here anyway.
Title: Every Night I Save You
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Rating: PG-13
Words: 200

Inspired by:challenge100's "Rewriting History" challenge.
Notes: Takes place during BtVS 5:22 "Gift." What if the fight between Spike and Doc had gone a little differently? Double drabble.
"I don't smell a soul anywhere on you. Why do you even care?"
"I made a promise to a lady."
"Oh?" Doc shot his tongue out at Spike, who ducked as it zipped past. But as it retracted, Spike grabbed it, wrapped it around his hand, and yanked the surprised little demon towards him. He brought his knee up and slammed it into Doc's face, then hammered him a couple of times with his free fist. Doc hadn't given up, however; grabbing Spike's duster in both hands, he gave a fierce shove with both legs, pushing him off the platform.
He'd momentarily forgotten that Spike still had a grip on his tongue. He was abruptly reminded. As Dawn's scream followed Spike down, Doc was pulled with him. With catlike quickness, Spike reeled him in and whipped him around so he cushioned his fall when they smashed into the ground. Doc wasn't much of a cushion, and Spike broke several bones when he hit--but he was in better shape than his erstwhile enemy, dead for good this time.
A short while later, soft hands caressed his face. "Spike?" Buffy's voice. "You did it. You saved her. You saved us all."
