Unlife In SoCal

Babes in bikinis, pretty boys in tight short shorts - oh yeah, the SoCal vampires loved the summer. They picnicked in the parks and they barbequed on the beaches. They snacked their way from Monterey to southern San Diego.

Once the sun was set they'd dive the cliffs along the coast; they'd surf the still-warm water till it cooled. They always got invited to the most exclusive parties, and they didn't always leave their hosts for dead.

A summer of sea, sand, sex - and suddenly they were bored. A pair of ADHD vamps on the hunt for a fun new game.



Count'Em

THWACK!

"Thirty six!"

THWACK!

"Thirty s...seven."

THWACK!

"Thirty - unh - eight."

THWACK!

"Thirty nine!"

THWACK!

"Aaaaaaaah! Forty."

Xander shivered slightly as Spike ran cool, soothing palms over the tingling skin of his cushion-raised buttocks then tweaked his leather-bound cock.

"So, luv, what do you think about your new rosewood paddle? It certainly makes a bloody lovely noise against your arse."

"It's... Gods, Spike, it's amazing! I don't think I could move if the bed caught fire, it's that good."

"Yeah? Must be the holes. I've never seen them mixed like that before. Now shift and let your Sire have a turn."



Never Be Free

Willow tried not to hear the small dark voice inside her head; the one that told her Xander was the luckiest of them all. It told her he was free to be whatever he could be, free of mortal fears and pains and boundaries. Together he and Spike could live forever, and they might, and then the voice would whisper 'so could you'.

The power, the possibility, thrummed like music though her veins, and yet she continued to resist. She knew that Xander wouldn't, couldn't, want to be this soulless thing; she couldn't bear to leave his soul in torment.

No!

Willow cannot soul Xander!

Make her stop!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

She keeps trying, the wicked little witch, but Spike wont let her succeed, don't you worry. ;)

[outsideth3box.livejournal.com]

Well, now....*that's* one way to stop her.

Yeah, I like it.

Like the rosewood paddle, too.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Ages ago I did a b!v!X drabble about how Xander earned his 'favourite paddle', and when I came up with the counting off idea for a drabble, I remembered the rosewood paddle. *g*

Willow is a determined little minx. She keeps trying to soul Xander up, even though it's never worked so far. She has to be stopped somehow... ;)

Thanks!

[but_can_i_be_trusted]

Really good! (But it's "Monterey". Unless you mean Mexico, though that ain't California.)

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I copied it wrong off the map. ::runs to edit::

[amejisuto.livejournal.com]

Oh! Lovely, just lovely. All three are great but that first one just sounded so much fun!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Spike spoils that boy rotten, he really does. *g*

[literati.livejournal.com]

She knew that Xander wouldn't, couldn't, want to be this soulless thing; she couldn't bear to leave his soul in torment.

pft, she can *try*...

lovely set baby ::smooch::

::is in a happy place 'cause of the paddle::

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Oh, she keeps trying!

And I know how much you love Xander's favourite rosewood paddle. Almost as much as he does! *g*

Thanks, babe.

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Something about surfing vampires just makes me giggle. :)

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Me too!

Xander's a SoCal boy who got an extra smack of the clumsy stick at birth. I reckon he spent years watching the surfer dudes and wishing he could have a go, so now... *g*

Thanks!

I really like the first drabble. Reminds me of the Lost Boys. But the second drabble did have its perks. ;p I like your banner, its very well made. Are Spike and Xander really kissing in the little pics? Are those manipulations?

From Open_On_Sunday

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thank you, for the compliments to the drabbles and to the banner. All my own work. :D

And yes, they really did kiss. You can find the vid clip(s) here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/bloodclaim/673582.html). They're taken from some dailies that were dropped into circulation a while ago, and it made every fangirl's heart skip a beat. *g*

[zgirl714.livejournal.com]

Thanks! The clip was so cute. Aly seemed to be really into it.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

She's the luckiest girl on the planet with a ringside view like that. *g*

[authoressnebula.livejournal.com]

Gah. Very nice. Especially the middle one. It's so casual, but very hot. ^_^

Noooo! *runs after Willow, chasing her away* However, I like the way her mind's slowly turning over the possibility of how much freedom Xander has. That she could have. *grins*

~Nebula

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Hot 'n' casual, that's my boys. *g*

Willow is trying not to give in to the dark side (again). That little voice is telling her that with all her power she could make herself immortal and be more than Xander, but she's fighting it because she wants to do what's right. Silly girl.

[tabaqui]

Heeee!
SoCal vamps - love it.
*bounce*
And kink.

And Willow - ack!
Skeeery.
*and you KNOW she thinks about it*

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

There's always kink. *g*

And yes, Willow thinks about it, every day. That ol' black magic is trying to get her in its spell again. It keeps whispering how more she could accomplish if she used the power on herself, became immortal, even stronger than Xander...

Of course, she doesn't give in, just keeps trying to stick his soul back on.

She must be stopped. ;)

Thankee!

[tabaqui]

Oooh, yes. She must be stopped. Xander needs to taste witch-blood.

*ahem*

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yes, well, maybe, one day - if he's lucky. *g*

[angstpuppy.livejournal.com]

such yumminess! The solcal vamps, tee-hee, I'm trying to picture Spike surfing without getting his hair wet...He is just as paranoid about his hair as Angel, just doesn't bitch outloud about it as much.

And the spanking---woot! *Fans self. Sees hand going up and down. Pictures it spanking Xander. So not helping.*

And Willow---grrr. Yeah, Willow wants to do what's right...what's 'right' for Willow. Shake her til her teeth rattle...that's the ticket...

Ooh, and thanks for the heads up on the daily footage. I now have screen caps!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks, and you're welcome!

That kiss needs to be seen by every fan and proto-fan. It's the Holy Grail of Spander! *g*

[werewindle.livejournal.com]

Greatness as always. ^__^

I love the paddle and the little voice in Willow's head. More!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :D

Xander loves his rosewood paddle. *g*

[kat8cha.livejournal.com]

Okay, Willow? Is starting to get on my nerves. But only bc she wants to ruin the boys fun. Liked the Summer Fun!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Willow needs to be dealt with. I just need the right challenge and the right spark of genius. ;)

[fanbot.livejournal.com]

Pale surfer dudes! Yay!

A spanking! A spanking! And after the spanking, the oral sex!

Bad, naughty, wicked, Willow!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Hee! :D

Willow is wicked and needs to be stopped. ;)

[wildannuette.livejournal.com]

Oh spanking, kinky *grins* spike/xander spanking thats so much hotter.

Willow should give i and stop trying to beat them, she can so not soul Xander lol

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Xander does seem to enjoy getting his bottom paddled - but so does Spike. And Willow wont stop until she is stopped. ;)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_sharvie_/]

Combining the easy breezy summer days of the boys with the heart wrenching sadness of Willow is so good! Love it!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I wanted three completely different moods in the drabbles. I'm glad that came through. And Willow is sad - she's driving herself insane trying to 'help' someone who doesn't want or need her help. Silly girl.

[nashmaveric.livejournal.com]

::pouts at you:: That last one scared me.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Aaaaaaw. ^^^pets you^^^

You know Spike I would never actually let her hurt Xander, right? She just refuses to give up and go away...

[virtualpersonal.livejournal.com]

and they didn't always leave their hosts for dead.

Love your sense of humor!

As for Willow... uh oh, is the evil fun coming to an end? Will Spike stop her? Same Spander time, same Spander chanel. Cant wait

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Love your sense of humor!

Hee! Thanks. The older I get the more my SOH reminds me of my mother's - my childhood was anything but dull! *g*

And Willow... must be stopped. She's determined to resoul Xander and Spike just won't let her keep hurting him like that. Tune in and find out what happens next week! *g*

Love the icon, btw. :D
