Um, if anybody sees my muse, can you point him this way? Please? ::dies::

For the beautiful notworthy for her birthday, which was two weeks ago. ::duck:: I'm sorry this is so late, love. My brain is so dead, and B/A? Apparently not my thing right now. ::boggles:: I started about five different stories ((which, PS, I will finish for you)) and ended up with this. I hope you like it.

One year after the end of Sunnydale she gets a frantic message from Giles. Something's the matter in LA, he says. Angel's waging a war, and she tells herself she doesn't care. She tells herself he doesn't matter anymore because he plays for the other team now. She repeats it over and over until she almost believes it. Almost. Two years after the end of Sunnydale she's alone and miserable. Dawn's off at college early and Andrew's back in England with Giles. The Immortal fell off her radar months ago. She can't help but feel that it's not supposed to be this way. She had a fabulous life her first year in Rome, but now she realizes something is missing. A part of her is missing. She goes out every night just looking, not knowing what for. Not yet. When she finds it, she'll know. Even though it's crazy, sometimes she thinks she's looking for him, hoping he remembers what she said. She needs to know that he remembers cookie dough. But more importantly she needs to know he's alive. She's been too afraid to ask, and she still doesn't know. Three years after the end of Sunnydale she receives a letter in the mail. He's still in LA, trying to rebuild the city. And he's the only one left. Fred and Gunn are both dead. She never knew them but knows they were special to him, so it hurts just the same. Wesley's dead, too. She has to sit down. She learns that Spike was back and alive, but now he's gone again. Everything stings just a little bit more. It's taken him so long to tell her. She doesn't like to be kept in the dark. She doesn't answer the letter. Four years after the end of Sunnydale she shows up at his door. Her face is tearstained, and her hands are shaking. As much as she'd like to think she is prepared for this moment, simply seeing him makes her fall apart. She explains that she's been thinking a lot lately. She thinks about him everyday. She always has. He thinks about her, too. That's all she needed to know, and she turns around to leave before he can stop her. Five years after the end of Sunnydale she sends him a postcard from Rome. It's only three words long, but it brings a smile to his face, the first real smile in five years. He quickly packs a bag, tripping over himself with excitement. A day later she's in his arms, and it feels like he's waited his whole life for this. She's done baking.

In other news: I am so ready to go back to school. And that merits a WTF MATES. Yes, yes it does.

But of course.

I think in our own little way we're angels...with bad sides of course.

[waterlanding.livejournal.com]

So are we like that dumb little saying you see on stuff at Claire's: "the horns are just to hold up my halo"?

...we're cooler than that, aren't we?

[athrill.livejournal.com]

Hell yes.

Cooler
Less superficial
Most definitely prettier
And tons more awesome and brilliant
We have great taste and are suaver than Rico Suave!

[waterlanding.livejournal.com]

Damn. It's good to be us.

Oh, and yeah, PS: friending you because duh.

[athrill.livejournal.com]
