Mother


“What’s wrong, pretty William?”

“Nothing. It’s… nothing.” He rolled away from her and swung his legs over the edge of the bed.

“Come back to bed.”

“I can’t. Not here.” He bundled Drusilla’s clothes into her outstretched arms. “We’re leaving.”

They dressed in silence. William, with his back to her, stared blankly at the brass bedstead.

Drusilla reached out towards him. “Mummy will kiss it better.”

“Stop treating me like a child. You’re not my mother. Mother once gave birth to me in this room.”

He left the bedroom and gazed down the staircase. “Down there. I killed her. Twice.”

What's in a name

"You're not even trying, Spike."

"Told you - it's poofy."

"It is not poofy. How many times… Oh for goodness sake. Just do your best. You're our last hope."

"Really?" Spike threw out his chest. "So what Wes said about 'scraping the barrel with me was…"

"Spike! Concentrate."

Spike squared his shoulders and faced the enemy, his hand gripping the polished wood.

Angel closed his eyes against the sight of the missile curving through the air.

"Strike three. You're out!" cried Fred hugging Willow.

"Told you Rounders was a girly game. Bloke doesn't stand a chance against 'em," grumbled Spike.

Posting my entry now because it is likely that I will be 'casting off' early next week, weather permitting.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

Title: Chapter 18: Part Two I could a tale unfold whose lightest word Would harrow up thy soul
Rating PG 13 Warning for readers of a delicate disposition - graphic violence ahead.

Summary: Spike summed up the plan so eloquently, I thought I’d let him remind us. “You mean do we know what all that mumbo jumbo about numbers and kabbals, dark matter and mathematical transfiguration formulae means?” Spike shook his head. "Not a jot." He picked up a sword and strode to the position marked as his on Willow's diagram. "Does it matter?"

Author's Note I've divided this final chapter into two parts as it is otherwise overly long. My thanks, as ever, to my betas bogwtich and myfeetshowit, without whom the sequel to Family: Blood Calls to Blood would never have been finished. It forms the second part of the L.A. Times Series which has just been nominated in the SDFA awards in the Angelic, Best Series and Endurance categories.

It's been a long time a-comin' and for that I apologise. I'm writing the final chapter (18) at the moment and decided now would be a good time to start posting the previous two.

Title: Chapter 16 - On my soul, I'll speak but truth.
Rating: PG13
Acknowledgements My thanks, as always, to my two wonderful, and totally different, betas bogwitch and myfeetshowit.

Summary: Spike has sacrificed his memories of loving Buffy for the chance of finding Fred's soul. The newly corporealised Wolfram and Hart/The First combination inhabiting Hamilton's corpse, recruited Drusilla to take Angel's Shanshu from him by turning Connor into a vampire. Spike, Angel and Buffy teamed up to save Connor and Spike made sure Drusilla would no longer be a threat to anyone by killing her. Meanwhile, a resurrected Wesley is working with Willow on finding a weapon to destroy the invincible Wolfgang Hartram, a method of crossing between time lines and other dimensions, and a way of contacting Drogyn.

The team has regrouped and when last we saw, were on their way to the Natural History Museum in search of the Stone of Time.

This is the result of a conversation on woman_of_'s LJ which began with a question about feedback and developed into a realisation of the need for a genfic archive. It's fitting that the first ficlet to be archived is a new one from woman_of_.

Now go forth and pimp all who complained there was no central place you could go to find gen fic.

Whinging to bogwitch over lunch last week, I complained that I'd never won an award from a 'judged' award site, only at one where readers can vote. Then hot on the heels of the nomination for Dancing the Night Away, this

popped into my mailbox, yesterday.

Thank you whoever nominated me at SDA and thank you the judges for awarding me Judges Choice - Dream

In celebration of both nominations and award, I am using one of the banners kathyh made for 'Dancing' as my LJ layout this month.

On finishing Soul Searching

After the last chapter (15), I made a decision not to post any more chapters until the fic is completed and has been beta-ed by bogwitch and myfeetshowit. There are about 3 more chapters (possibly 4) to go and they are all drafted out.

I wish you all a magical Twelfth Night - I intend to raise a glass or two (or three, or more) of champagne to celebrate the fact that lillianmorgan is slowly making her way back to LJ land and

for 'Dancing the Night Away in the Best Romance, Best Future, and Best Author categories.
