(not) a happy cheery Christmas drabble for Emmie

[snick_backup]

angearia couldn't decide if she wanted sweet and functional or dark and dysfunctional, so I decided for her.

Merry Christmas, Emmie!

Buffy/Angelus - R for language
The Echo of Sweet Memory

First: her special order. They’re hard to get, turns out.

“You can’t do it,” he said. “You can’t kill me.” And he was right. But there are other things to do with a vampire, Buffy’s discovered.

Now the mansion.

Chains do more than imprison, she’s found, and weapons don’t only wound. But this, today, this she learned from Angelus himself.

He snarls as she nears. Someday the shackles will break, and he’ll kill her. No more taunting or kissing or fucking; just death. But not today.

“Happy Valentine’s Day, lover,” she says, and drops the black roses at his feet.

Ack! This is perfectly, deliciously wrong.

Every word is so perfect. Black roses, specially ordered, designed to wound.

A mockery of love, profane and twisted and wrong.

Thank you! :D

Yay! Perfectly, deliciously wrong was exactly what I was going for. I am so pleased that you are pleased with the wrongness. *g*

Haha, I suspect this drabble might be just for me (not many people ship this, do they?), but I promise to cherish it properly! Or maybe not so properly, ahem. ;-)

[snickfic]

That was sort of the idea: that it be written exactly for you. Any enjoyment anyone else gets out of it is just bonus. :)

I SHIP IT, I SHIP IT GOOD

*bangelus lovefest for everybody!*

Ack! I love this. I have a thing for Buffy/Angelus. So wrong in so many right ways :D

[snickfic]

You're right; when it comes to wrong wrong wrong pairings, I think Buffy/Angelus takes the cake. I'm glad you enjoyed (for, ahem, certain values thereof *g*).

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Ha!

[snickfic]

Hah! So true.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Ooooooooh.

[snickfic]

Kind of whack you over the head with the wrong stick, don't they?

I see Buffy found her naughty side a bit earlier this time around. Innnnnnteresting.

[snickfic]

Indeed. Although I think "naughty" might not quite cover it, this time.

[shapinglight]

I hope she takes Giles along occasionally?

[snickfic]

I hadn't thought that far, but it's an excellent question, isn't it? Although with him I suspect the sex-and-violence equation would boil down to just violence.

Such a dark Buffy and delectably cruel. Loved it.

[snickfic]

Thank you! It's not the sort of thing I usually write, but I rather like how it turned out.
