The One He'll Remember
He leans, scanning the crowd below.
“Choose wisely.” Murmur at his ear, a laugh. “You’ll always remember your first.”
Fingers stroke his neck. The wound is healed, already, but he can feel it. Feels Spike’s touch, all through him.
There, by the door. Tugging anxiously at her too-short skirt.
“Tiffany,” someone calls. “Over here!”
“That one?” Spike asks, and he nods.
She blushes, looks away. This handsome, dark-eyed boy, gazing at her as if she’s beautiful.
The coiled snake of hunger in his belly stirs, raises its head.
“Hey, Tiff,” Xander says. He smiles. “Remember me? I’m Alex.”

And I have to say, the hive mind is a crazy thing. I'm half way through writing my fall for sx story which treads some similarish ground, so when I read this, I squeaked and nearly deleted my file. But once I stopped hyperventilating, I reminded myself that there's plenty of room in fandom for more than one take on events, so I'm going to carry on and see where it takes me. *g*
Having said that, this really is super. Your drabbles are wonderfully elegant and I envy you the talent of being able to tell a huge story is so few words. I find drabbles almost impossible to do! :)

Yeah, this hive mind phenomenon is weird. I've been having writing trouble of late for a number of reasons, but one of them is that I keep starting things, and then I come across a piece that's so similar to what I'm doing that it's freaky -- I mean, not just thematically, but in specific plot details and even word choices.
There's certainly plenty of area to be mined in the topic of this piece, and I'm looking forward to reading your slant.
