FIC: Not Quite There Yet, HP/BtVS, Sirius & Spike, G

[kleio_the_muse]

I bloody nearly didn't make it to post this in time! Long story short, it's apparently not such a brilliant idea to pour a whole glass of water straight onto a modem. Needless to say, that modem is no more, it's an ex-modem. And the 40 euros it cost to replace it don't exactly improve my financial situation in any way

I've never watched a single episode of Buffy, yet this is still perfectly believable and amusing!

(Then again, maybe one doesn't need to know who Spike is to understand male-to-male bickering... maybe one just needs brothers :-/ )

Was there supposed to be some pre-slashiness there at the end? (so much time, and nothing to do...) Or am I fantasizing imagining things? :-)

[kleio_the_muse]

OK, that is a compliment!:)

But seriously, you must watch Buffy. The whole world must watch Buffy. Hear me preach the gospel of Buffy!:)

No slashiness in this one, sorry. No bodies, for one. Unless it's of the non-corporeal kind, in which case who knows what might happen when two souls merge into one... *g*

[arwencordelia]

Oh, good point, forgot about the lack of bodies there... would pose a bit of a problem, wouldn't it :-)

I loved "History Repeating", too (it just popped up on my flist :-). So lovely and sad at the same time.

[fleshdress]

Loved it!

Very funny, and the dialogue only approach was surprisingly effective. :)

[kleio_the_muse]

Oh, I'm so glad! It's always good to hear some things aren't funny just to me;)

Oooh!

Sorry I’m commenting so late, but I’m not online much on weekends, and I only just saw this. Kleio, you’re the best! Your modem gone, and you worry about posting this... Thank you so much!

"Easy there, mate. No need to go off over some bird. She the one that did you in, eh?"
"Yeah, she did, and I'm bloody well going to pay her back for it even if it kills me!"

Oh yes, you can do light-hearted. Sirius and Spike bickering is just beautiful, and you bring out their different voices so very well - really, your Sirius voice has always been great, but your Spike voice just amazes me. I'll never again suggest you get Spike out of your head! And Spike practically talking Sirius into the ground... just adorable, and it had me giggling like mad. (So... now you only have to prove you can write light-hearted romance, right? ;-) )

"Sirius Black, hardly a pleasure to... Spike? Do vampires really have stage names?"

*snort* Good thing I wasn’t drinking anything, or my monitor might have joined your modem...

Thank you again, love!

[kleio_the_muse]

Hope you had a wonderful birthday, love:) I think you might've preferred Snape/Spike, but (un)fortunately the good lady hasn't offed Snape just yet;)

And I'm glad I'm allowed to keep Spike in my head, since it might be a bit tricky to get him out at this point *g* We'll see about that romantic comedy thingie later one, right? It's certainly something I haven't tried before, and I'm always eager to try out something new...

Did you see the prezzie fluffyllama had for you? Don't understand anything about Ultraviolet, but I know you've definitely been rather spoiled this year, you lucky bastard:)

*hugs*

[trobadora]

Nonono, no killing off Snape! And it was perfect just the way it was. (Besides, I'm sure Snape and Spike would have come to blows, and it would have turned much more serious, and I don't think I would have wanted to see that played for laugh.)

And fluffyllama is definitely spoiling me. You two are the best, and I love you to pieces. *hugs back*

[kleio_the_muse]

No, you may count me out of that 'best' thing. I didn't thank you for everything you did for 'History Repeating'! I'm a terrible person, really I am. If it hadn't been for you, I'd made a complete ass of myself, and the twat that I am, I don't even ackowledge that in the notes.

I'm so sorry, love. There's no excuse for it, either - apart from the fact that I'm a total idiot and should be shot at dawn:(

[ariadneelda]

Thanks for the link, hon! This was so amusing! Perfect dialogue, just perfect. :) Being me, I could see this bickering eventually leading to hot sex, even if the guys don't have bodies anymore. Hm... spirit sex? *g*

[kleio_the_muse]

Thanks, love! So, so happy that you found it amusing:)

And who knows, maybe some day I'll have a go at Sirius/Spike for real. It's certainly tempting enough. *g*
