Fiction!

[cornerofmadness]

I'm not sure it can be called a ficlet what with it being over 1500 words (okay so it was supposed to be a drabble. You KNOW me better than that. This was written for one of those use someone else's first line challenges. This time out I used makd 's first line.

It figures I take a2zmom's highly erotic first line and I get twister. I take makd 's innocent first line and get erotica...

For the want of a much better title, here it is, Sleepy Hollow

You know I love Faith, Angel, Spike, the "New and Improved" Connor, and Gunn. You also know I love my New York. You gave me all of that --- and a good story, too.

Muchimas gracias and merci beaucoup! ;-*

THANKS. Glad you liked it. When I read they had changed North Tarrytown's name since I moved from the area, when I was researching a Ripper story, I about died laughing. Sadly they were just opening Kykuit house when I left in 94. Still, I went to the other mansions that were closer to me (I lived in Fishkill at the time)

*snort*

Of course I expect Faith and Connor off on their own to have sex. Put those two together in one of your stories, I think it's pretty much a rule.

Loved the escapes of both Spike and Faith from the dreaded retelling of "Swan Lake". *snort*

Hey occasionally they don't have sex. Usually when he's busy having sex with Dawn but you know...

Now if they'd just shut up about the story where they go evil together...

Well there's nothing worse I imagine than a worked up Angel and Gunn enthusing about men in tights.

"Hey, now, I admire their athletic abilities. Not sure about Angel, on the other hand." --Gunn

Faith and Connor going evil together? *frightened*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm looking at the girls - Angel

Yes, can you imagine Faith and Connor on an evil tear?

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Riiiiiiight, you expect me to believe that --Spike

No. I don't want to imagine Faith and Connor on an evil tear. *shudder* Though it would be a good, scary story...esp. if they were vamped and B/A had to join together to kill 'em.

*thinks fondly of all the angst*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

See now you're writing my story for me...though that has possibilities. Or even more angst, they aren't vamped and still have to die...

YOU'RE the pouncy little poet. If anyone was looking at the men, it would have been you - Angel

Just letting the plot bunnies bounce free. *weg*

Hey, I sure as hell wouldn't be seen alive - or dead - in some opera house --Spike

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

LIke I told vamped vixen it's open season on plot bunnies and I have a 12 gauge.

Ignore him, Gunn, he used to go all the time with Dru, be all weepy like a woman - Angel

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, my plot bunnies know how to dodge. Probably 'cause I sic ELD's on 'em.

Did not --Spike

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Did so - ANgel - like a woman


You shoot my plot bunnies and they just break into little bunnies like on Fantasia

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Shooting, therefore, is a baaaaad idea.

Did not. --Spike

Listen, if you two wanna go to bed angry, it's fine with me --Gunn

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

we are NOT going to bed angry - SPike

Or together - ANgel

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Hey, we're hip. If you two are lovers, just come outta the closet --Gunn

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

STAY IN! - Connor

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

WE. AREN'T. LOVERS. --Angel, through his teeth; Spike, shouting and throwing a cigarette

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

That's not what Spike told Illyria - Connor

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

S'not EXACTLY what I told the skirt, y'mean --Spike

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I had a brain seizure when the word intimate was used - Connor

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I think I'm having one now --Angel

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Great little story, I know the area quite well. And I love Angel trying to bore everyone to death with ballet details.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

AH that's right, you're not too far from there are you. I used to love Tarrytown and hung out in the cemetery because well I'm weird that way
