speakr2customrs. Take the first line from one of my fics and write a drabble using it as the first line.
Spike slouched insolently and bonelessly in the chair in Angel's office, his leg flung over the arm of the square red seat. -- From Blood Rite
"So, Jung divided the unconscious into the collective and the personal," Riley explained. -- From Soulless, Evil Things
The room smells of stale cigarettes and beer. -- From Cold Comfort
They parked the schoolbus in front of the Hyperion. -- From Remembrances and Plans
Two Odobenus demons glided down the San Antonio alley, stalking the Chosen girl. -- From A Mess of Pottage
"Hey, guys? We'll go this way." -- From Retained Skills
"You all right, pet?" Spike asked with some concern, putting his game controller down. -- From Chicken Soup for the Old One's Soul
Amy turned on her computer, smiling in anticipation. -- From The True Love of Legolas
Gunn couldn't believe it. -- From Indispensable, Exquisite Cats
I came back wrong. -- From Closer
"I dreamed of killing you," Spike said. -- From Spark
"Gimme the bottle," I tell the bartender. -- From Reflections
"Well, Dr. Finn," General Ritter said, "can you tell me any more about why all the vampires we were holding suddenly became human?" -- From Mustard Seed
I stopped my ancient black DeSoto on the outskirts of a dusty little town in Texas. -- From Salvation
Billy viciously cut the rope holding the young woman's wrists together. -- From Reward
The sun rose on a scene of carnage. -- From Aftermath
Go wild. :-)

The only concern she’d had about his roughness was over what he was scraping away. What tender new skin had she exposed to him?
The Happy Return
Date: 2004-10-07 12:40 pm (UTC)Angel’s face lit up as he saw them. “Faith, glad you made it. Oh, Buffy, I’m so happy to see you! Perfectly happy.”
His face contorted with sudden agony and he staggered. When he came erect his fangs were showing and he laughed. “Free again!” Angelus shouted triumphantly, and leaped for Buffy.
He hadn’t realised he was outnumbered 20 to 1. He did manage to give Buffy a black eye before they dusted him.

Date: 2004-10-07 01:31 pm (UTC)When he started to talk, Angel tuned him out, knowing this would end up an endless debate like the one about cavemen and astronauts. Instead, he observed Spike, and found that he felt envious of the younger vampire’s carefree demeanor. If the others ever saw Angel slouch like that, they’d assume he was Angelus again. How come Spike could have a soul *and* get away with aggravating everyone, and… having fun?
That insolent brat *always* breaks the rules.

Date: 2004-10-07 02:56 pm (UTC)And the funny thing? Nobody realized I did. (Except for ol’ grandsire, of course, who thinks that me coming back, *at all*, is wrong in itself.)
But I know better. I’m not the same man… vampire… who burned up in the sodding Hellmouth. Because, that Spike? He’d have run off to Goldilocks the very *second* he got all solid again, even though she didn’t mean it when she'd said those three little words.
Moth to a flame; vampire to a slayer.
But I didn’t go. I may be love’s bitch, but I’m not a bleeding masochist.

"I dreamed of killing you," Spike said.
It wasn't the words. There was enough history between them to justify the words. It was the causal and dispassionate way he said them that sent a chill down Angel's back.
One constant about Spike was his passion. For the kill, for music, for Dru, for life. Everything he'd ever done was done with gusto - but that was now missing, like his body. Oh, he was still irritating, but it didn't have the same force behind it. The next words out of Angel's mouth surprised them both.
"Is there anything I can do?"

Date: 2004-10-08 10:13 am (UTC)Sunnydale had fallen, swallowed up by the pit of the Hellmouth.
Even though most had been evacuated, still a couple hundred people remained behind. Their last gasp attempt to make it to safety placed them at the near edge of Sunnydale, and there is was that the Surviving Scooby Gang Members saw them the day after the Sunnydale Disaster.
By that time, they weren't the only ones there. News crews, Seismologists, and others had flocked to the site of what was being billed as one of the Greatest Earthquakes of the Twentieth Century.
Buffy and the others watched the mayhem as officials tried to figure out what had happened and reclamation efforts of the bodies proceeded.
The day seemed to stretch on long. They watched horrified and fascinated somehow by the aftereffects of the Apocalypse they had averted and yet, before their eyes saw clearly that they had not averted it for everyone.
Finally somewhere around 2 PM, Xander turned away, and one by one, the others followed, until they were once more aboard the bus they had commandeered the day before. With a grim silence they pulled out of the area and onto a freeway.
"Where to?"
Xander's voice seemed to echo through the bus. At first no one answered, then Buffy spoke up.
"L.A., take us to L.A."
"You got it Buffster."
"What's in L.A., Buffy?"
Giles's voice was filled with gentle curiosity.
"A new beginning..."

Date: 2004-10-08 01:07 pm (UTC)I stopped my ancient black DeSoto on the outskirts of a dusty little town in Texas.
*This is it, mate.*
When I found her house, I just waited outside like a git. Gotta admit I was nervous. Who wouldn’t be, in my position?
I didn’t notice someone stroll out the front door.
“Spike?!”
*It’s her.*
All coherent thought left me. I felt like sodding William again.
Somehow I managed to get down on one knee before her. “Winifred Burkle, will you marry me?”
Her eyes glistened. “Yes.”
What else could I do? Of course I bloody well kissed her senseless.
