Title: And I Quote...
Pairing: Spike/Xander of Buffy
Rating: PG13
Disclaimer: Not mine, never will be. No harm, no foul, no money made.
Notes: The continuing past and future adventures of baby!vamp!Xander.



"Violence is going to ensue!"

With a manic grin and his latest rebel yell, stolen from a movie, Xander leaps over the battered table and into the pit of demons. Gleefully he rips off limbs to use as clubs, swinging and laughing and revelling in the joy of a good fight.

Spike sits back and watches his childe slaughter his way through the pack, keeping a tight hand on his latest bottle. Once a month the fighting starts, over a female Draag in heat, and every month Xander just can't resist the temptation to join in. The Draag are on their way to being endangered.



"I swallowed a bug"

Xander jumped off the motorcycle as soon as it slid to a halt, bending at the waist to cough and choke and dry heave. He waved away Spike's concerned questions as he hawked and rasped and wheezed, hands clamped hard to the battered knees of his jeans. Tiny black spots danced in his line of vision, ants marching in file between his dusty-toed boots.

Finally, a small black soggy lump landed on one toe, and Xander wiped a hand across his mouth in sweet relief.

"What the hell was that about, pet? Did you swallow your tongue?"

"I hate bugs."

Verry cute, both of them. I love the ref to River. That was such a cute line in the movie and your description of trying to expel bug Xander was priceless ;-)

Actually, I can understand Xander's abhorrence of bugs, heh.

Thanks!

I spent a lot of my late teens/early twenties riding pillion so I know how Xander felt swallowing that bug. *g*

And he's so cute when he's gleeful! :D

Alas, I haven't seen the movie, but the IMDb has some good quotes up so I snagged the best ones and ran. *g*

Alas again, I have been right where Xander was sitting. I inhaled a bluebottle on the back of a motorbike many moons ago and did the exact same dance once the bike stopped. I know whereof I write! *g*

I've been there and inhaled the bluebottle. Ick. *g*

Thanks! I think you could turn Xander into a bunny and he would still be Xander. *g* And he'd still want to fight!

I should have known from the wonderful vividness of your description and the completely confused Spike watching Xander's contortions. It was just so cute.

I can perfectly see Spike leaning back in a chair with a bottle and calmly watching the mayhem.
I love them!

Lovely, both (but the bugdance was priceless)

Hee! Endangered indeed. I'll just bet they are with a gleeful vamp!Xander going after them.

*snort* A bug. Also...ew. :)

Ewww, bugs. Poor vampyXander. Bugs are no picnic to swallow, especially when they hang on. I still sympathize when Dracula made him Bug Boy!

But yaaay carnage and gore and mayhem! Amputated limbs make good clubbing devices! =D

The Draag are on their way to being endangered.

Excellent last line. Perfect *smooches*

Finally, a small black soggy lump landed on one toe, and Xander wiped a hand across his mouth in sweet relief.

"What the hell was that about, pet? Did you swallow your tongue?"

"I hate bugs."

Thanks! Spike's confused response was based my (now ex-)husband's reaction to my strange dance. Damn flies. *g*

Thanks! Spike loves to watch his boy fight and get all worked up. He knows the sex after will be fantastic. *g*

Ah, all of my fic is actually in my memories under 'My' headings. The stuff under the other various categories are written by other people. The person you need to friend for 'Amnesia' is [livejournal.com profile] xanphibian. It's a good fic. :D

I googled for quotes and the IMDb provided a good collection. I probably wont see Serenity until it's out on DVD, but I don't mind waiting. I should have seen Firefly by then. *g*

Thanks! The bugdance was based on my own experience, and I never imagined I'd say that about anything in this 'verse! Hee!

If those demons had any sense they'd move their mating battles to another club. At least that way Xander would have to go out and hunt for them before killing them. *g*

Thanks!

Hee! Thanks! I wasn't even thinking about his incarnation as Bug Boy when I wrote it, but I bet it brought back some unwanted memories. *g*
