Advent Drabble #15 (Spike)

I'm running a little late today. Sorry.

AtS - Spike - PG
This one is for my anonymous benefactor who gave me paid LJ time. Thanks!


Nostalgia

Spike misses L.A.

Not the Viper, the well-stocked W&H bar, or the otter-enhanced blood; and he sure doesn’t miss his shitty rat hole of a basement. What he does miss are the necro-tempered windows and the sun’s gentle warmth on his skin. This time he truly appreciated it, more than when he had the ring of Amara on his finger. This time he bathed in its brightness, soaked it up, drank his fill, knowing that sooner or later it would all end.

Most of all he misses the others. Gunn, Fred, Lorne, Percy. Even Angel.

Good times.

Over too soon.

Oh how lovely! I understand Spike's love of those windows and how very different (yet strangely similar in a lot of ways) he is to the vampire who wanted the Gem of Amara.

Before you ask - no, I'm not the anonymous one.

Yes "..very different yet strangely similar.."

Also - your ICON is wonderful!!

very different yet strangely similar..
Just as when Drusilla turned him, he retained a large chunk of his humanity, so when he regained his soul, he retained a large chunk of Spike's joy of physical pleasure.

Icon by behindblue_eyes. Made a long time ago. I use it as my avatar on one of the boards. And I tend to use it when responding to fellow writers.

Thank you, this is excellent. Spike would indeed enjoy the feel of the sun because he never lost any of his love for human pleasures like food and drink. He's a very sensory person.

This is lovely.

Yay! I'm glad you like your drabble.
I really would have liked to see a 6th season, would have liked to see Spike interact with the LA gang... he's also a very sociable creature...
