Advent Drabble #1 - Perfect (Spike/Dru - PG-13)

I'm terribly out of practice when it comes to writing drabbles, sorry. Also, it turned out rather morbid. I hope you guys like it anyway.

Spike/William – Victorian Christmas

Advent Drabble #1 - Perfect

Popcorn and cranberry garlands spilling from Dru’s sewing box? A new frock for Miss Edith? Spike knows the signs. 

Who cares if it’s hot outside? That the calendar claims it’s the end of August. The world’s full of fir trees, and for a few quid he can buy a gallon of turkey’s blood and lace it with cinnamon. As for decorations, all he has to do is pick a house and eat the owners. Nine times out of ten, they’ve plenty of Christmas trinkets in the cellar. Their bodies make good decorations, too. A perfect Victorian Christmas for his Princess.

Well you may think it's morbid, but I thought it was excellent! :0

Oh, thank you! *beams*
Actually, hubby said "bleagh" when I read it to him last night. He wants fanfic to be happy. And very porny. :-)

I didn't find it morbid, either, given the characters. It did show Spike's devotion to Dru quite perfectly.

Yay. Thank you!
*is relieved*

Not morbid at all, just very Spike and his Dark Princess.

Thank you!

Whee, I'm glad you like your drabble. Like I said, I haven't written any in aaaages. :-)

I like your icon!

Aww, lovely! Spike is such a romantic!

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Not sure why, but my fanfic muse is back for a spell and I hope she'll stay a while...

Aww - Spike knows how to take care of his girl, doesn't he? Morbid? No.

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it. Thank you for letting me know. :-)

Here from sueworld2003. How lovely to find you on LJ.
This isn't morbid. It is a testament to Spike's devotion to Dru. Christmas baubles and bodies, in August, make a perfect off-season Christmas. *g*
