Summary: baby!vamp!Xander still has nightmares. Spike helps him cope.
Notes: These can be read as a standalone set of drabbles, but are also a part of the baby!vamp!Xander 'verse. Written for mini_nanowrimo day 8, and also for my Spander Big Damn Table.


47. Feathers

Xander woke to a mouthful of feathers, and strips of expensive cotton wedged between his fangs like shredded skin. The scratchy tickle at the back of his throat had him hacking so hard he was sure he resembled Seven when she'd coughed up her first kitten-sized hairball.

The heap of quilts beside him rippled and heaved before finally giving way to Spike's half-hearted struggles. Eventually he emerged, rumpled and bleary-eyed, to watch Xander spitting up duck down and picking six-hundred thread count Egyptian cotton from between his teeth.

"Another nightmare? What was it this time?"

Xander pouted.

"The clown again."



60. Paint

"Trust me, luv, this'll work, and if it doesn't, well, you've got to eat anyway, right?"

Xander watched from the doorway as Spike dabbed white facepaint around the mouth of the unconscious snackpack on the motel bed.

"One final touch," - Spike tugged a curly orange wig into place - "aaaaaand, I'm done." He checked over his shoulder to see how Xander was doing. "Just a bloke off the street in some cheap slap and a funny wig, Xan, yeah? Not a thing worth fretting about. Now get your pretty arse over here and grab a bite, before the wanker comes round."



58. Cotton

Spike took a last long draught of sales clerk and turned to see what monstrosity Xander had chosen this time. Each one seemed worse than the last.

"What are they, silk? You ever tried to fuck on silk sheets, luv? There's no bloody traction with 'em, you end up sliding off the bed mid-shag." He let his dinner drop to the floor behind the counter and vaulted over. "None of that polyester shite either, with its static cling. We want-"

"Egyptian cotton, high thread count, nothing with superheroes on," Xander recited along with him. "I know th- Ooh! Body pillows!"

*cracks up* Baby!Vamp!Xander with ADHD! *dies*

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

The perfect diagnosis. *g*

He's so much fun to play with. He's dorky and goofy and totally psychotic. What's not to love? ;)

[outsideth3box.livejournal.com]

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! I hate clowns! Soooo creepy...

Love these, though. What a treat to find new baby!vamp!Xander bits, YAY!

Sire!Spike is as sweet to his boy as ever, trying to fix the all the owies, what a good daddy.

*bounces* It feels like it's been forever and a day since I've seen baby!vamp!Xander! Hee. Of course, I could say the same for Spander in general.

Good for Spike and helping Xander with his fear of clowns. Now every single time I see a clown, I'm going to just try my own form of therapy. Imagining baby!vamp!Xander running out and jumping on him. *nods* Or something. Because clowns are freaking scary.

Loved them all! :D

Lovely! :)

[mysticsoblivion.livejournal.com]

LMAO! Oh, poor Xan, oh gods... can I make gratuitous 'down in the mouth' jokes now, lol?

"I know th- Ooh! Body pillows!" and ppl say it's Spike who's the posterhild for ADHD vamps!

Beautiful as always dear! *bows before the master*

[mysticsoblivion.livejournal.com]

ermph... that's supposed to be "posterCHILD"
*mutters about her inability to spell while laughing*

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Awwww! I like Spike educating Xander on the finer things (and best sheets to have sex on, of course)!

[tabaqui]

*flails*
Heeeeeeeee!
And fucking *yes*. In theory, silk sheets are neat. In actual fact, they suck.

You make murderous vampires so endearing! I love Xander with a mouthful of down comforter.

Spike trying to cure Xan's nightmares is so touching and funny. I love the phrase "unconscious snackpack" for the hapless victim.

These psychotic killers are delightful.

[spikedluv]

*snorfle* Hee, nightmares about clowns (and what a good daddy Spike is to help Xander get over his fear *g*) and body pillows!

[yanagi-wa.livejournal.com]

*snicker* great stuff.

[txrabbit.livejournal.com]

I love, love, love baby!vamp!xander!!

My favorite! Love you!

This is the first time I've come across your baby!vamp!Xander 'verse. I went to the beginning and read them all in the order posted.

I have one request. More?

[thismaz.livejournal.com]

I love the image of a vampire having nightmares (daymares?) about clowns.
And Spike's desensitisation therapy *g* but the idea that Spike still has to specify nothing with superheroes on *Laughs* That's great fun. Thanks.

[stretfordditto.livejournal.com]

Exquisitely funny. :D

[vinniebatman.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, I loved these.
Even as a vampire, Xander is still so Xandery.
I loved them all

If only all vampires feared clowns so. . . .

Hee!
