Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

We won't. We're here for you. Hold onto us. And onto your realspace peeps, but you know, Buffistas keep odd hours, so we're here when the others crash out!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Listen to -t, she's right. And know that we're here. Someone is always here, to listen, just for you to know someone's here. I'm so sorry, Maria.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

We're here for you, Maria.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's a terrible goddamned club, but full of supportive members.

Absolutely here whenever and whatever.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm scared of the autopsy results. I want to know but I don't.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, that'll be a hard one, but it's probably better to know. And nowhere in that autopsy is it going to say, "And Maria did it." No matter what the results.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Please tell your people that you love them.

Yes, this is very true.

I can't presume to know the pain of losing a spouse, and you might feel responsible, but please don't believe you're responsible. If you have the attention to spare for the semantic distinction. I just don't want you with those fully formed convictions in your head, honey. Not even if the companion pain is best worked through, not around.

That's a hard thing to have to wait for. But there's no need to theorize in advance of the facts.

Compassionately intolerant

Oh god, Maria. I am so sorry. And I have to wholeheartedly endorse -t's wisdom.

It's necessary to have every emotion, but every emotion isn't necessarily true, kind or necessary.

I feel so, completely incapable of saying anything of value. Just know that my heart is right next to yours, wanting to ease anything I can.
