spangel ficlet set in Why We Fight, for Sharl

happy birthday, so_sharlemaine! this isn't at all what you asked for, but it's...you know.... *is lame* if you squint real hard and wish for Kansas, there *is* h/c and daddykink in there somewhere. except, not really.

(PS, I jumped the gun and her birthday is tomorrow. I actually thought today was the 22nd....oh well. she gets it early. hahaha. *really needs to buy a calendar)

I think I like this. haha. probably gonna make revisions later. untitled, because I'm spent. I'll probably find one later.

Pairing: spangel
Rating: NC-17
Summary: set during As5 Why We Fight. an attempt to patch some of the things that always bugged me, mostly having to do with Spike's oblivousness. we know for a fact that he can be a perceptive guy, and I always found that somewhat unbelievable
Warnings: new flash, they are vampires. that's about it. oh, and angst.
not mine. but it could have happened.

ok, I've been a very bad girl. lots of stuff happening on the awards front and I haven't made the announcements. I shouldn't say this as though it's a new thing, because it seems to be par for the course. I suck :)

( awards and noms this-a-way )

I'll take mine with a twist.

I just got back from seeing The Reaping. firstly, let me say that going to see it in the daytime because I knew I was going alone was a good move. going so early in the day that I was *the only* soul in the showing was ill advised.

but it got me thinking about the mandatory plot twist of movies in that genre...when the device is effectively used and when it goes horribly wrong.

no specific spoilers for The Reaping under the cut, except for the general complaining about where the movie went lame. there are major spoilers for the plot twists of Sixth Sense, Usual Suspects, Memento, The Village, Unbreakable and Signs for those who haven't seen those movies. but I always put the name of the movie up front, so you can stubbornly shield your eyes and skim down past that one.
