Questioning Traditions

Whoa, no writing time this week. Only one lonely drabble

Personal Traditions - Angel & Connor post- NFA

Connor had never seen his father drunk before so it was quite a sight to see Angel swaying beerily to and fro making his way to the bar. “Spike said you’d be in the closest Irish bar getting shit-faced, something about tradition and damned if you aren’t? Wanna tell me about it?”

Angel signaled for another Guinness and didn’t start his tale until he and Connor were served. “It’s a wake...today’s the day I met your mom and she killed me.”

“Drinking sounds like a plan.”

“Finally, we agree on something.”

Father and son slugged back beer in unison.

I really, really like this one. It's sad but hopeful and yet there's still this wound that's never going to heal and it's funny in places and you did it all in a hundred words and it's just really good.

Mmm, run-on sentence.

Anyway, really great work. I also liked your Buffy Love Month entry this morning, but I had to run to class, like, the minute I finished reading it so I didn't have time to leave feedback. But really good work there, too. You always deliver.

Awww, poor Angel and Connor.

Ummm...two typos: "to and FROM" and "closet" Irish bar? I knew them Irish were...interesting but never THAT interesting. *laugh*

Connor's kinky like you dont' know

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Oh, the stories I know about THAT boy. *laugh*

[makd.livejournal.com]

erm...is it a "closet Irish bar" or "closest Irish bar", 'cause I didn't know you wrote slash....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Uh jeez! How embarrassing. Actually I've started slash (in manga...) but I think I'll not venture into incest.

With a family like that, they're gonna need something stronger than beer. *g*

excellent point. Angel should worry Spike's roaming around with a digital camera waiting for blackmail photos (p.s. printed out your Vegas story today)
