Cause and Effect

Cause and Effectby Red Wolf

Spike scented the air as Dawn handed him a mug. "You're hurt."

Holding up a hand, she showed Spike the cut across her knuckles. "I hit Principal Wood."

"In the face?"

Dawn nodded.

"The human mouth harbours some nasty bacteria, love. Let's get that seen to before you lose a hand." Spike applied Betadine and a novelty band-aid to the wound. "Want to tell me about it?"

"I told him he hurt you again I'd kill him."

"I did kill his Mum."

"He needed to know that hurting you hurts me the same way."

Spike kissed her forehead. "My hero."

Well, I like the idea of hitting Principal Wood, just on principle but this was a darn good reason.

And I didn't even resort to using a stick — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 25.04.2005 15:51 AEST | #
LOL, we spawn shippers just insist on seeing things another way.

Good one — via LiveJournal — posted by Jan at 25.04.2005 15:52 AEST | #
We know who the smart sister is and we know Spike has more bloody sense. What more is there to know? — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 25.04.2005 15:52 AEST | #

I read this on your cross post but had to come over here so I could see Principal Wood get hit again.

I'm not usually this blood thirsty but I've been hanging around Spike and Illyria too much!

Great drabble — via LiveJournal — posted by Sandra Strait at 25.04.2005 16:02 AEST | #
People do seem to like Robin getting hit — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 25.04.2005 16:02 AEST | #
Hee! What myfeetshowit said. To my mind, there can never be enough punching of Robin Wood in the face.

::goes to happy place and sees Spike knocking Wood across the room in LMPTM again:: — via LiveJournal — posted by Sandy at 25.04.2005 16:04 AEST | #
Thanks. May you have a pick axe handle and five minutes alone with Robin Wood — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 25.04.2005 16:04 AEST | #
Oh, this hit the spot in all the right places.

Thank you! — via LiveJournal — posted by Kelly at 25.04.2005 16:05 AEST | #
Many thanks. Happy to have scratched your kink — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 25.04.2005 16:05 AEST | #
She should have done that... — via LiveJournal — posted by Trepkos at 25.04.2005 16:06 AEST | #

now there's a perspective i can sympathise with. i think thats the first 'real' image i've seen you use in an icon. oh wait, apart from the streets of rome... blast, grrr... — via LiveJournal — posted by Pheral at 25.04.2005 16:11 AEST | #
Happy you like it.

I use lots of real images in icons. A lot aren't fandom based either. You're just after gorish icons, those I'll have to see about — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 25.04.2005 16:11 AEST | #
You know me so well, i'm always after gorish anything. Was it paint, in that icon? Of the fist? Looked like paint, being squeezed from a cloth maybe? — via LiveJournal — posted by Pheral at 25.04.2005 16:12 AEST | #
or its real blood. now i cant decide — via LiveJournal — posted by Pheral at 25.04.2005 16:13 AEST | #
It's fish blood — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 25.04.2005 16:13 AEST | #
I don't usually comment in friends' of friends journals because I don't want to freak people out who don't know me, and I rarely feedback on drabbles, but I absolutely loved the sweet and tender simplicity of this. I read it last night and it has stayed with me ever since. Really lovely — via LiveJournal — posted by kats_meow at 25.04.2005 16:16 AEST | #
Thanks for letting me know. And thanks for telling me how you found me, much appreciated — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 25.04.2005 16:16 AEST | #
Awww... :-) — via LiveJournal — posted by Elizabeth Culmer at 25.04.2005 16:17 AEST | #
Thanks — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 25.04.2005 16:17 AEST | #
I like how Spike is so practical about treating Dawn's wounds, but he's also tender at the same time. The novelty band-aid made me smile. :) — via LiveJournal — posted by Chessie at 25.04.2005 16:27 AEST | #
There's a house full of teenage girls and Andrew is probably doing the shopping, I'd imagine novelty band-aids are more of a draw than the regular. I'm quite fond of novelty band-aids too — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 25.04.2005 16:28 AEST | #
Aww. That's cute. Dawn fighting for Spike — via Bloody Awful Gutter — posted by Magan at 25.04.2005 18:59 AEST | #
That I would have liked to have seen — via Bloody Awful Gutter — posted by Sarah Leathers at 25.04.2005 19:10 AEST | #
It's just the kind of thing Dawn would do. And it pretty much fits Spike's attitude at that point in the series, too — via fanfiction.net — posted by Mark at 25.04.2005 21:47 AEST | #
Lovely! I've always loved their friendship. It was a great lose for the show.

The human mouth harbours some nasty bacteria... Such a great explanation. So Spike! Proud about his little bit deeds...

I loved it! — via The Bloody Awful Gutter — posted by Sandra Patterson at 09.06.2005 15:40 AEST | #
