Title: These Nights

Author: baudown

Pairing: Spike/Xander

Rated: R-ish
Summary: Post-series, living together

Disclaimer: I love but do not own them

Feedback: Yes, please

Written for: fall_for_sx

Note: Due to an RL emergency (parent, hospital, ongoing), the piece I’ve been working on for fall_for_sx remains, unhappily, unfinished. But I appreciate how difficult it is to keep communities like this going, and am so grateful for the work of the mods and contributors, and I really didn’t want to bail. So I wrote something very, very quickly, and I’m passing it off as a series of connected ficlets. It’s not something I’d typically consider ready for posting; in fact, I’ve barely had time to proofread. I hope you enjoy it anyway.

Title: And All Was Said (Part 4b)

Pairing: Spike/Xander
Rating: NC-17
Disclaimer: Don't own them. I would like to.
Summary: Xander's got a little something on the side. Alternate season 5ish where nothing whatsoever is happening to any other characters.
Notes: Last week, in a reply to a comment by dimestorefind, I mentioned that I didn't write this in chapters -- it was written more as a series of encounters or vignettes. But it just kept going and going, and so I have no choice but to post it in chapter form. The problem is that sometimes, if I break where it feels most natural, it creates chapters that are way too long or way too short. This particular section was particularly challenging in terms of finding the right place to break. And basically, I never found it, and livejournal wouldn't let me post in one piece, so I'm giving you two sections today -- 4a and 4b -- because I think it all goes together.
Feedback: Please.

Feedback: YES, especially for this (see note)
Warnings: I don't think so, except as to long note to follow.
Note: So. When I started to write S/X last year, I assumed I'd be writing them some sex. At the time, I would hardly look at any S/X without at least an R rating (now, of course, I'll read about them shopping for a bathroom tiles if it's well-written). But somehow, I found it very difficult. Either it didn't seem to fit organically in the story, or if it did, I just didn't know how to do it. When I read sex scenes, I know what I don't like (the kind of laundry list of "He touched that, and it made him shiver. Then he touched that and it made him shudder) but it's harder to get a handle on why I like what I do. That is, what makes the sex scene good, hot, emotional, etc. And I've really struggled with this. I've tried to read as much as I can about sex-scene writing by authors I like and that sort of thing. So months ago, I sat down and just started writing something sex-centric as an exercise, but I kept abandoning it, and taking it out again, and abandoning it, ad nauseum. And it turned into this very, very long thing, which is pretty much all sex scenes held together by a thin membrane of something I wouldn't presume to call plot. I don't have a beta, and no one's read it, and I've been looking at it for so long that I have no perspective at all. I'm basically terrified to post it. So I decided to post the first part, before the sex gets heavy, hoping I'd get some feedback to see if I'm on the right track. And maybe someone would be willing to take a look at the rest? Anyway, if this note hasn't sent you running for the hills, here it is.

Title: Forfeit
Author: baudown
Pairing: Spike/Xander
Disclaimer: Don't own, just love
Prompt: Tow, 100 words, open_on_sunday
Note: I have a weird feeling this is the seed of my fall for S/X piece. Hmmm.

Forfeit

Spike's known vamps who kept pets. Angelus did, once -- a tow-headed virgin, snatched straight from the seminary. Mooned over him, to Darla's disgust, until Dru snapped his neck in a fit of jealous temper.

A weakness, keeping humans. Anyway, it never lasted. Demon's nature, always wanting more. So the humans wound up drained and dead, or worse, turned and tossed away, because afterward, they weren't the same. Not what was wanted, but merely what was left. Nobody needed that sort of dirty reminder hanging about.

Just one last look at his sleeping boy.

Spike's gone before Xander wakes up.

Notes: I was cleaning out files, and I found these drabbles that I wrote but never posted for open_on_sunday. They were written at different times and not meant to be connected in any way, but when I looked at them again, they kinda sorta seemed to go together. I really don't remember the prompts, except for one, which was "wind." It's entirely possible that whatever the original prompts were have disappeared via editing. Here they are.
