Summary: More of the baby!vamp!Xander!verse - Angelus turns Connor - or does he?


Dru and Angelus

"I can hear your puppy still ticking inside! Tick tock tick tock tick, all quiet and slow. He was supposed to be my baby brother, my little dog, something to feed and pet and take for picnics in the park."

Angelus paced the room and ignored her.

"You did it wrong, Daddy. The demon didn't stick. You drank him down and bled for him and he just spit it out. Can't you hear it, underneath the screaming and the laughter? A countdown, a swansong, singing the end of the world."

"That's enough, Princess! I just need to… try again, maybe."



Spike and Xander

"He's cute."

"He's trouble, luv. There's something not right about him. He's felt off since we picked him up, him and Dru. It's like there's something hiding, just behind his eyes. It's almost like he's got a bloody demon, but he hasn't. Little bastard's giving me the creeps."

"He's still cute - in a grubby, feral kinda way. D'you think, maybe, once Angelus has finished, we could play with him? Just the once, a 'welcome to the family' sort of deal."

"Xander…"

"What? Oh, come on, he's pretty! I know you noticed."

"I don't want… There's something not right, that's all."



Spike and Angelus

"Not quite as easy as you thought it would be? Drain the little git, feed him Daddy's go-go juice and have him bouncing back in hours, a bonny baby demon? No worries about him being the magic child of soddin' vampires, or that one of them was bloody resurrected for the job! Oh no, not Angelus, he's all about the family. Don't you think it's time you told us what went wrong?"

Angelus turned cold eyes from the still, pale body that had lain unmoving and yet incorrupt for ten days.

"He'll wake soon. He's my son. I feel him."
