december ficlet #3

Oh, man. I meant to write a schmoopy Sponner ficlet and this is what came out of my brain instead.

You - have a very evil mind. And I love you for it. Also - I think you kinda broke my heart with this one; Angel being best dad and letting Connor have Spike - Connor telling dad he loves him, and it's the fact he caved in to that happy puppyeyes face that ends up in worse than Connor dying. Not only is he turned into a vampire, he turns into a really good one at that. And Angel looses both his boys.

You always have the most amazing way of putting things. Now I cry.

Thank you so much for reading, lovely.

Oh!
U R Meeeeeen!
*sniffle*

Poor boys.
I love Spike convincing Connor. I love that he lost his soul and nobody told Angel.
*la*

I am mean to myself, also! Poor boys.

I love Spike convincing Connor. I love that he lost his soul and nobody told Angel.

Yeah, right? They would have tried their best to hide it from Angel and probably succeeded for a few days at least. Eventually, it'd come out, though, and then the story is (again) about how Angel can never kill Spike (Darla, Dru), until the one thing happens that would push him to it. In a lot of ways, I feel like this story is inevitable. But then, sometimes, Spike/Connor curtain-fic seems inevitable to me, too, so I'm happy to accept both.

[tabaqui]

Yeah, they would have *tried* but... I can see Connor - and Spike - being so cocky and just so...gleeful. Heh.

All good.

[ros_fod]

Do you know who would KICK ASS at writing the plotty, long story that goes with that idea?

YOU.

*swallows hard*

Jesus. I -- I don't know whether to curse your brain for the pain it brings, or love it.

Can it be both?

God, the juxtaposition of 147 days after Connor became a vampire, Angel found them in a New York loft. They were in the bedroom, fucking, Connor's face hidden in the pillows, his ass in the air, when Angel walked in.
, which, for this kind of story, could even go so far as being sweet, followed hard after with Back in Los Angeles, the police were still searching for the serial killer of nine five-year-old boys who had all died, choking on their own organs.

God. Just -- God.

Oh! I'm so happy that came across. Because I think that to a certain extent, Spike is right, Connor would still be Connor, he'd be sweet and times and the two of them would be sweet together, even, but it's just the...dead little boys that is a problem. Hee.

Thank you *so* much for reading and commenting.

FRESH AND WILD!! YES!

Oh, sorry. But, goddamn. So great. Perfect ending. Dreamy, actually.

[ros_fod]

Heeeeeeeeeee. Fresh and wild! Or, demented! Either way. :)

Thank you, *again*.

You sure do pack a punch in a small number of words. I'm pretty shocked by how you were able to go from this:
"I love you, Dad," he said. And then, "Thank you." He hugged Angel for a long time, but when he finally stepped away, Angel reached for him again, one hand circling Connor's arm.
to this
Angel killed Connor first.
with me believing and feeling every word.

I never considered myself a masochist before but maybe I really am. I really really loved this, too.

[ros_fod]

Packing a punch in a small number of words, check. Anything lenghty and plotty? *FLAILS*

I think this could/should be a much longer story, but I tried to tell it in a way that matched with my storytelling style. I'm so thrilled that it worked for you.

Now, shhhhhhh. Don't be afraid of the riding crop, it'll hurt GOOD.
