Disclaimer: Not mine, never will be. No harm, no foul, no money made.
Notes: Baby!vamp!Xander has deep thoughts.

Sleeping With The Fishes

The quavering sound of Xander singing in his sleep dragged Spike out of a wonderfully porny dream.

"My daddy was under the ocean,
My daddy was under the sea.
My daddy was under the ocean,
Oh, bring back my brother to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my brother to me, to me…"

Spike sat bolt upright in bed and reached out to shake Xander's shoulder. The singing stopped.

"Huh? Wha'?"

"You were warbling in your sleep, luv. Was it Dru?"

"Uh… Dru, Darla, a pretty little kid. Why? What…?"

Spiked groaned.

"Bugger me sideways! Where the fuck's Connor?!"

After Sunset

Xander watched sun sink out of sight, painting scarlet purple orange stripes across the cloud-streaked sky. The waves reflected back the colours, rippled, blurred and bleeding out, a blue-black liquid palette for the gods.

The sand beneath his naked feet was warm and damp and gritty, tiny shards of broken seashell sharp between his toes. He grinned.

"Hey! I bet if we knew which way to go we could walk to Hawaii. Wouldn't it be cool to scare the fish?"

Spike reached out and swatted the back of his childe's head.

"Atmospheric pressure'd have us flat as bloody pancakes, luv."

~~"Atmospheric pressure'd have us flat as bloody pancakes, luv."~~

No doubt it was a good idea at the time, though. :D

Walking to Hawaii - still sounds like a good idea to me :-) And the first drabble? *shudder - in a good way*

Thanks! :D

As soon as I saw the 'coean' prompt I could hear Dru singing those twisted lyrics but I wanted it to be Xander and I had to work that out.

Hawaii always sounds good. *g*

BabyVampXander is a delight, Spike is so long-suffering. Atmospheric pressure? Really? *ponders*

darkhavens on October 13th, 2005 08:30 pm (UTC)

Thanks! Spike suffers in (relative) silence because he loves his childe. *g*

Atmospheric pressure really would squish them flat at the bottom of the ocean. Squish!

I'm curious too. I have no idea what's going to happen to Connor but I'm sure those boys will come up with something interesting. *g*

Thanks!

Ohh, I liked the singing in his sleep. I can so picture that happening. And I have this odd thought that the reason Spike knows about the atmospheric pressure is because he's tried. Hee!

Thanks! Spike will never admit now he learned that little nugget of information. *g*

I haven't forgotten about your

fandom_charity request, I promise, I'm just having trouble wrestling my muse into cooperating. You will have your 500 words of Hyena!Xander Spander, I promise. ;)
