FICLET: Reprise

GUYS. [info]rahirah wrote B/A. The internets are going to implode. Spuffy fen will disown her. Get me a bowl of ice cream as I watch apocalypse. And post Spuffy smut (she called me out).

Reprise
Spuffy, NC-17, post NFA, snippet


Well there's grace, and then there's grace, and then there's fire. Spike thinks this might be all three, because his hand is fisted in her hair, her thighs are open over his, and she keeps taking him higher. The mutilation she rewarded with a kiss, the sensational spark that was supposed to make him man again, the final revelation in which he became her burning brand--he hadn't done it to give her anything. Not her sister, not his soul, not some peace of mind at the end when it was too late. He'd done it for himself; he was thieving definition from the flames. He was doing it again in her. In her tight, wet spaces, mouth and cunt; in his fingers finding the hollows along her scapula, the crevice down her ass; in the way she touched his face, knowingly. It was the same.

"I love you." It was a breath she dragged by his ear, a feminine grunt and a demand. He began to fall apart. "No," she said; she held him down and fucked him. "You're coming with me. I mean it this time. I really do."

He knew that that was true, because she was burning too. They would be destroyed, conquered, nothing at the end of it, and bigger, stronger, more themselves because of it.

You give pretty pretty words, miss.

I wish it wasn't Spuffy.

Thanks.

It was a nice exercise.

I...did not expect to ever be seeing this.

Lovely, dense. Mmmmm.

P.S. Because you care about such things: "he was theiving thieving definition from the flames.

Edited! Thanks! Amazingly, I just spelled that word wrong in the other thing I just posted. I suck at spelling.

And thanks. I'm not sure you'll ever see it again ;o)

Lovely, lovely words, with the lovely sentences and the lovely sentiments. Oh god, I liked this one to!

thanks!

It's funny, the more distance I have from Buffy fandom the more open I think I've become to other pairings. I'm starting to fear for my sanity. And you, missy, are not helping with this!

Seriously, gorgeous work. You certainly have a way with words. It's poetic, with even a touch of that characteristic Spuffy humour towards the end.

[info]lettered

May 23 2007, 15:11:35 UTC 5 years ago

It's definitely easier to have a broader mind when I'm not quite so...close. When I first saw BtVS, I could only live and breathe B/A. Now I've mellowed out ;o)

Thanks for reading this!

That was just beautifully artsy.

If only I could join in with this meme...but I'm not a shipper!

I normally like longer fics, but the imagery in this is just...neat! ;)

[info]lettered

May 23 2007, 15:12:38 UTC 5 years ago

Normally I can't write short fics. So, thanks! Glad it worked for you.

Really gorgeous. I love the them of burning here, because Spike has burned for her for a long time (even if much of it was unhealthy). The thought that she burns for him also now is beautiful.

Now back to my regularly scheduled B/A. (I have to fins time to read your Angel/Puppy otp! Stupid work).

[info]lettered

May 23 2007, 15:13:47 UTC 5 years ago

The thought that she burns for him also now is beautiful.

I always love your fb. THat's exactly what I wanted to do.

Heh. Angel and puppies will still be around when your RL shapes up. Hope things are going okay!

I still like good Spuffy, and this is it. Beautiful, in fact.

[info]lettered

May 23 2007, 15:15:29 UTC 5 years ago

yay, thanks. There are only a few authors I'll read Spuffy by, so I don't have a good idea of what's out there...Glad you liked this.

Brilliant and oh so hot!
Now tell the truth, you are a closet Spuffy...

[info]lettered

May 23 2007, 15:16:32 UTC 5 years ago

Heh, thanks!
And, I'm afraid, I have searched my closet high and low for secret Spuffy leanings, and come up high and dry. But it's fun to try to write something different.

Wow, that was just ... so gorgeous. And very Spuffy.

I love it when people can do right by a pairing they don't ship!

[info]lettered

Thanks you very much!

I wasn't sure I could do it, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Here via half my (Spuffilicious) flist. I'm impressed by this, since it's so far from your instincts. Lovely fire imagery and a real sense of connection.

Hey, thanks. I'm glad I was able to do the pairing some justice.
