Alley 01: Love is Blind

Love Is Blindby Red Wolf

Dawn helped Spike to his feet, sighing with relief when he stayed upright, at least he could walk this time. Supporting his weight, she guided him out of the alley and back towards his crypt.

"Had a run in with something nasty, pet."

"I know." She let the lie slide, knowing full well that the something nasty was her sister. Dawn wasn't stupid, she knew Buffy's handiwork when she saw it.

This wasn't the first time she had patched up her bleeding and Slayer-battered friend. Dawn just wished it would be the last, before Spike did something stupid in return.

*sniffles* Oh. God. Loved it.

This just breaks my heart. Into little, tiny pieces.

Loved it.

I know you're tired to hear this from me but, any chances you can write more on this concept? — via LiveJournal — posted by Leni at 30.03.2004 08:23 AEST | #
I always love your comments. Even the ones that ask for more.

I won't promise anything, but I may continue on with this theme in future nanofiction posts if Spike and Dawn are talking to me. Which sounds like I'll have another !verse to play in for a while — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 30.03.2004 08:23 AEST | #
Ohhhhhh... so sad, and yet with that glimpse of foresight, chilling, too... I love what you can do with just a few words — via LiveJournal — posted by Willa at 30.03.2004 08:24 AEST | #
Funny, isn't it, the way different people write. I love meeting the challenge with a set number of words and yet I'm blown away by your daily epics that aren't only generous in length, but always amazing to read.

Many thanks for all your lovely comments — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 30.03.2004 08:24 AEST | #
:: sniffle :: Poor Spike. I love the idea of Dawn helping him home after the alley-beating. Just love — via LiveJournal — posted by MAC at 30.03.2004 08:26 AEST | #
You didn't think I'd leave the poor guy alone after the bitch queen's tanty, did you? Dawn looks after her friends. I'm so glad you enjoyed this — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 30.03.2004 08:27 AEST | #
Wow. That was great. And sad. Makes me wanna bitch slap Buffy — via LiveJournal — posted by luckycharm_13 at 30.03.2004 08:28 AEST | #
Don't you dare bitch slap Buffy. I'm sure I can find a perfectly good axe handle around here somewhere that will do a much better job ::evil grin::

Glad you enjoyed it — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 30.03.2004 08:29 AEST | #
Ha! I dunno... I think my chainsaw beats your axe! ;) — via LiveJournal — posted by luckycharm_13 at 30.03.2004 08:30 AEST | #
I was suggesting just the axe handle for a good bludgeoning, but if you feel the urge to venture forth into the realms of limb removal, feel free.

I will, of course, be expected to hear all the juicy details — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 30.03.2004 08:30 AEST | #
I can do juicy details. Want pictures? ;) — via LiveJournal — posted by luckycharm_13 at 30.03.2004 08:31 AEST | #
Yes, please!

Edward Gorey didn't do chainsaws, but something along the same lines would be nice — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 30.03.2004 08:32 AEST | #
Poor Spike. :(

I'm sure he was covered with sexy wounds. ;) — via LiveJournal — posted by Bunny O Hare at 30.03.2004 08:35 AEST | #
Sexy wounds :snort: I'd forgotten about that. Thank you — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 30.03.2004 08:36 AEST | #
That's great. A super Dawn/Spike friendship moment — via LiveJournal — posted by Sandy at 30.03.2004 08:36 AEST | #
That's what friends are for. Getting you back on your feet when you do stupid things — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 30.03.2004 08:37 AEST | #
Awwwww. Poor Dawn. I always love it when you write her as smarter than those she surrounds, and the foresight makes me sad. :( Terrible, but sweet for the moment — via LiveJournal — posted by Tori Morris at 30.03.2004 08:38 AEST | #
Being close to Buffy and Spike, I have trouble believing she wouldn't figure out what was going on. Dawn never really got a chance to step out of Buffy's shadow in the show, so it's fun to do that in fiction — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 30.03.2004 08:39 AEST | #
Sequel, sequel! Rah, rah, rah! ::waves pompoms::

(Well, you are going to write about Spike's revenge, right? *eg*) — via LiveJournal — posted by Moonbeam at 30.03.2004 08:40 AEST | #
Leni beat you to the punch. This will almost certainly continue in this week's ficlet, the challenge is live and I can work this !verse with it. So something will appear over the next couple of days.

The revenge alluded to is the infamous bathroom scene. So I'll have to figure out where I take it next — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 30.03.2004 08:41 AEST | #
I also like the idea of a wounded Spike and a bitch Buffy. Of course, this was well-written, as usual. Well, off to hunt up the sequels — via LiveJournal — posted by Dawn S at 30.03.2004 08:42 AEST | #
This is the first in this !verse, continuation will happen soonish. Glad you enjoyed — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 30.03.2004 08:44 AEST | #
Joss or Marty Noxon should have included a scene like this in "Dead things", without fearing that somebody had thought of this as Spawn-ship (although I don't have any problem with Spawn-ship, I love that relationship in all its forms, romance or friendship), because the friendship between Spike and Dawn had made this, a completely understandable and sweet scene...

But really, I don't care... because you have written the scene and it is beautifully written, and I think that definitively you should write a sequel!... :) — via LiveJournal — posted by enn_enn at 30.03.2004 08:46 AEST | #
Marty is evil, but I'm preaching to the choir in that regard.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Continuation will be soon — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 30.03.2004 08:49 AEST | #
Gashlycrumb Tinies! :D Anyways, lovely fic. The Dawn/Spike relationship is so sweet. Also? I think I'm becoming addicted to your drabbles/fifteen minute fics ;D — via LiveJournal — posted by Jordan at 30.03.2004 09:56 AEST | #
Bugger! You've discovered my plan for world domination. Distract everyone with shiny stories while I sneak in the back door.

Glad you're enjoying the ride. Please keep all limbs within the vehicle, occasionally bitey things have been known to appear — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 30.03.2004 10:01 AEST | #
very powerful, too. it shocks you, every word means a lot, lots of jolts — via fanfiction.net — posted by Just Wolf at 31.03.2004 10:41 AEST | #
I just read your story. kewl keep it coming — via fanfiction.net — posted by Matt at 12.05.2004 17:28 AEST | #
I love your story! It just about made me cry a couple times...and laugh too (Jurisdiction) I hated Buffy all through season six because she railed on Spike nonstop calling him an evil monster when that's exactly what she was being the whole time. Personally, I have this secret Spike/Tara fantasy...come check out my new story for that :) — via The Slayer's Fanfic Archive — posted by Jessi at 22.10.2005 16:56 AEST | #
you call that a story???? it's like 5 sentences. don't know why you bothered its shite — posted by Anonymous Coward at 08.12.2005 07:57 AEST | #
