Previous Line: There was only one bed!

There was only one bed!

Giles and Spike looked over the dingy hotel room. A pipe had burst in Giles’ apartment and the two were forced out while it was being repaired. And, unfortunately for Giles, no one else wanted to take Spike for the weekend.

“Well, I’m not sleeping in the bathtub again.”

“Well I have a backache.”

“So sleep on the floor, s’posed to be good for it!”

Giles glared, and Spike relented. Giles settled in on the bed, finding it made his back pain worse.

Spike was already making himself cozy on the floor. “No take backsies!”

Previous line: “He’s SuperWatcher!” (Thanks Otter!)

“He’s SuperWatcher!”

“He’s super wanker more like.” Spike slipped out of the shadows and grinned at them.

“What are you doing here?” Giles asked.

“Mostly listening to Harris saying how bleeding marvellous you are. Oh, and Buffy said something about a sick elephant demon that needs killing?”

“Sycophant demon,” Giles clarified.

“Isn’t he just the best!” added Xander.

“A Suck-up Squid? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. What does it look like?”

Giles pointed to the lurking twenty-foot creature.

Spike gulped. “You’re a right big bugger, aren’t you?”

“And you…” The demon stretched a playful tentacle. “You’re very handsome.”

Giles frowned at the contents of the pitcher before them.

"No disrespect to your mother, Spike, but are you sure you have the ingredients right? It looks gloopy. Is it supposed to be that colour? It looks positively anemic."

"Well if you care to open a vein, Watcher, we could bring the colour right back to its cheeks."

"I hardly believe that was in your mother's original recipe."

"Probably not," Spike agreed. "What say we add a quart of scotch?"

"I'd say it was a waste of good scotch. How about some bourbon?"

Spike grinned.

"Now that's the festive spirit!"

Title: Clean Conscience
Last line: He needed to fix this, but how?

He needed to fix this but how? Giles looked in panic at the pile of dust on the carpet that had formally been Spike. He shouldn't have done it, but the vampire had been giving him such aggravation all day, that he'd practically asked for it. Surely Buffy would understand?

No, she would not. Oh hell!

Wasn't there a spell that was said to reconstruct a body? And perhaps another to reconnect Spike's soul? That could work and she'd never have to know what had happened.

On the other hand... Giles reached a decision and switched on the vacuum cleaner.

Last line: Perhaps a cup of tea would help.

"Perhaps a cup of tea would help?"

Spike mustered all his soul into an expression of contempt.

"Don't be a plonker, Rupert. This requires the good stuff. Break out the single malt. My heart is literally in pieces on your floor here, mate."

"Well not 'literally' literally," Giles muttered to himself. Some men were cursed with many burdens, his was having to listen to every Buffy break-up story.

"You've got to speak to speak to her, Rupes. I've written something down for you."

Giles narrowed his eyes at the paper.

"Are these rhyming couplets?"

"Would that be a problem?"

TITLE: Bad Night
AUTHOR: LJS
RATING: G
SUMMARY: Season Four with chipped Spike, but before "A New Man"

“I thought you called her.” Despite his headache and aching ankle, Giles looked daggers at Spike.

“Can’t be having you lying at my crypt door, true, but I’m not ringing up the Slayer. No wish for a dusty evening.” Spike helped Giles up, snickered at the pain-ridden moan Giles couldn’t silence, pushed him forward. “Come on, old man, I’ll take you to hospital in the DeSoto. Might get a spot of blood while I’m there too, yeah.”

“So happy to help with your shopping,” Giles muttered, took a step, and winced.

Hurt on patrol. Helped by Spike. Worst night ever.

TITLE: Intentionally Maddening Smugness
AUTHOR: LJS
RATING: G-ish
SUMMARY: Canon-compliant; set in Season 4, when Spike's at Giles's flat.

“It doesn’t work that way,” Giles said, and put his feet up on his coffee table, and sipped his Scotch with intentionally maddening smugness.

Spike, currently tied to a chair, growled. “Hospitality, innit? To offer a guest a wee drop?”

“You’re not exactly my guest.” Giles took another, longer drink.

“Well, I’m not bloody here of my own free will.”

“Right. Who showed up at whose front door, with a smoking blanket and a plea for sanctuary?”

“Catch me doing that again,” Spike muttered, and kicked his chair leg.

Giles savored victory. It was so bloody rare on the Hellmouth.

Setting: Pangs. Season 4.
Prompt: Stuffed
Length: yeah, well it is 120 words but it was breaking my heart to try and trim it to 100. So I didn't.

Spike looked over the groaning thanksgiving table with some bitterness.

“Don’t I get anything to eat?”

“No,” everyone chorused.

“Well that’s not in the spirit of the Pilgrims is it?"

“It was the Native Americans that offered the hospitality, Spike,” said Willow. “And look where it got them.”

“Watcher, come on, as one colonial oppressor to another, how about a bit of turkey?”

“He is sitting at our table, even if he is all tied up,” said Anya. “We should probably give him something.”

Spike licked his lips. “Come on, come on. Only the breast meat mind, Rupert, and don’t stint on the potatoes.”

Giles slammed the sage and onion bake down in front of the vampire.

“Get stuffed, Spike.”
