AN1: Dedicated with thanks to [livejournal.com profile] txrabbit, who brainstormed with me on IM and planted the Dru bunny that spawned the others. :D
AN2: More peeks at the world of the newly turned baby!vamp!Xander.



48 Hours Later

"I want to go back to the basement one last time, Sire. I want to say goodbye to dear ol' Dad. I want to let him see his dead gay son rip out his heart. I want to introduce you to my Mom."

Spike growled softly, in absolute agreement, and petted his newly wicked love.

"Gonna let me kill her, luv, for all she didn't do? Break her into little tiny pieces if you want, I would."

"No. She stood and watched or sat and listened all my life. She can watch and listen and live with this as well."



Turn The Clock Back

"You turned your Mom?!"

"Oi! It seemed a good idea at the time, okay? I didn't have a clue what I was doing. She'd been there for me all my life, especially after Father died. She was sick and I just wanted to make her strong. I did. The point is, Xan, I messed it up; I tried to do too much too bloody soon."

"Oh. So...?"

"So... The answer's no, Luv. You'll not be turning Red before we leave. That little witch has power enough to terrify me already. Give the girl a demon and she'll decimate the world."



Mummy Knows

Mummy knows, she always knows. She watches Daddy watching her sweet boys and knows he wants to play. He wants to scoop her darkling kittens up and carry them off to bed, to bite, to claw, to feast, to fuck, to exercise dominion.

But Daddy's different now. The spell that brought him back and burned away that sickly, clinging soul left traces, tiny smears of need and hope.

So yes, Daddy wants to bite and claw, to feast and fuck and own. Daddy wants, but Mummy knows that, ever so much more, Daddy needs her boys to want him back.

Lovely!! I really like the last one with Dru. Very good.

[identity profile] darkhavens.livejournal.com 2005-05-11 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. She was in a very repetitive frame of mind when I tuned in to her, but it seems to have worked out okay. *g*

Fuck me, this line killed:
I want to let him see his dead gay son rip out his heart.

Lovely, as always. ^_~

Thank you! That's one of my favourite lines. I miss my dead gay shows. *g*

"It seemed like a good idea at the time!" Had me cracking up, loved the angsty first one and the third one was soooo cute!

[identity profile] darkhavens.livejournal.com 2005-05-11 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Well Spike was only a baby!vampire himself when he turned his Mom, so he knows what he's talking about. Dru whispered chunks of her drabble to me last night in bed and I had to scribble down notes so I didn't forget. *g*

Thanks!

Liked #3 lots -- creepy and sexy, and when will we see some Angelus/Xander/Spike? **puppy eyes**

[identity profile] darkhavens.livejournal.com 2005-05-11 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
LOL! Well, there was a second and third vote added to yours in the last set, so I think I'd better start practicing my threeways for when the perfect challenge comes up. *g*

Thankee! :D

[identity profile] werewindle.livejournal.com 2005-05-11 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Great as always but the last - Awwwwww very sweet. Angelus yearning for a bit of cuddly feelings from the boys. ^__^ More!

[identity profile] darkhavens.livejournal.com 2005-05-11 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
He's a slightly softer Angelus who wants his family to be happy... and just wants his family. *g*

Thanks!

These are all amazing, as usual, but the first one is definitely my favorite.
Vengence is sweet.

[identity profile] darkhavens.livejournal.com 2005-05-11 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. :D

Yes, vengeance was necessary. Dad dies, Mom suffers the knowledge of seeing and hearing and not doing anything. Serves them both right. :P

[identity profile] outsideth3box.livejournal.com 2005-05-11 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh that first one was so perfect!

All wonderful, but I love the perfect revenge. So evil and sweet.

Mmmmm.

Xander needed closure with his parents before he left 'home' so that he could start his new unlife afresh with his Sire. *g*

Tanks! :D

[identity profile] outsideth3box.livejournal.com 2005-05-11 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm.I think I need some closure myself...

Can I borrow baby!Vamp!Xander for a couple hours?


I'll make sure he's clean when he gets back.

Spike can come, too...

[identity profile] darkhavens.livejournal.com 2005-05-12 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL! he's busy right now, but I'll see if he can pencil you in... 'k? *g*

Wheeeeeeee!!!
Fun, fun, fun.

Thankee. :D

Lovely!
The first one is so wicked and I loved the one with Dru!

[identity profile] darkhavens.livejournal.com 2005-05-12 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not wicked, it's... payback. *g* And Dru rocks. I love when she pops into my head and starts rambling. Thanks!

[identity profile] eatenbyweasels.livejournal.com 2005-05-11 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, these were a treat, especially the last one; orgy ahoy!

[identity profile] darkhavens.livejournal.com 2005-05-12 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Thankee! And yes, there may be an orgy pencilled in sometime in the future. *g*

"No. She stood and watched or sat and listened all my life. She can watch and listen and live with this as well."

This is why your drabbles are my faves - you say so much in 100 words. I loved the first one. So much meaning behind it, and you do write my fave Vamp!Xander. The last one with Dru was excellent, and, yeah, Xander'd want to turn Willow, and Spike would immediately see that it was *not* a great idea. :)

[identity profile] darkhavens.livejournal.com 2005-05-12 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, darlin'! *smooch*

Dru is so much fun to write. And Willow - even though Xander has already met vamp!Willow, he still doesn't realise how dangerous she would be. Silly baby!vamp. But Spike has seen magic vampire users before and knows better. :D

[identity profile] nashmaveric.livejournal.com 2005-05-11 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohhhh love those! Especially the last two.

"Oh. So...?"

"So... The answer's no, Luv. You'll not be turning Red before we leave. That little witch has power enough to terrify me already. Give the girl a demon and she'll decimate the world."

Thankee! :D Spike has a healthy respect for magic.

Fab, hon. Love the first one! And I'd love to see that!

[identity profile] darkhavens.livejournal.com 2005-05-12 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. :D

I don't know if I'll ever write an actual patricide drabble, but maybe, one day. ;)

[identity profile] rubyblushu.livejournal.com 2005-05-12 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
"exercise dominion"

I really loved the phrasing in that. Very cool. And I especially liked the second drabble. I like that Spike could recognize that turning Willow would be a disaster. Also, I think she would try to come between Xander and Spike, and have to be staked, anyway.

[identity profile] darkhavens.livejournal.com 2005-05-12 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. You just know that Angelus would want to be top dog, would want to be the one in control, the 'Daddy'. *g*

And yes, Willow would most likely want to be closer to Xander than Spike would like.

[identity profile] virtualpersonal.livejournal.com 2005-05-12 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
Cold heartless vamp Xan! Great stuff!

[identity profile] darkhavens.livejournal.com 2005-05-12 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, he's not cold and heartless at all. That decision to kill his father was full of emotion and passion. And anyway, it's daddy Harris who's going to end up heartless. *g*

Thanks!

[identity profile] literati.livejournal.com 2005-05-13 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
very nice set.

Poor Xan, wanting to keep Willow.

For once you didn't torture her, go you!

[identity profile] darkhavens.livejournal.com 2005-05-18 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
way way way behind on fb here, but *smooch* ta!

No, I didn't torture her. I also didn't let her come between Spike and Xander, cos she would have tried. *g*
