Habitation

Habitationby Red Wolf

Andrew leaned on the balcony and looked down on the Thames. It had come as a surprise to discover that the Council owned several London properties and it seemed a shame to leave them empty.

Officially he was sharing the large apartment with Xander but, as they were rarely in the country at the same time, this would be the first time he had been on his own.

"Oi!" Spike elbowed the door open and glared over the boxes in his arms. "Where do you want your dolls?"

"They're collectible action figures." Spike raised an eyebrow.

Some things never changed.

Thanks! I can just see the apartment turning into a geek shrine — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:10 AEST | #
Love Andrew! Love Spike! Put them together and you get this really great drabble! I really loved it! Thanks! :D — via LiveJournal — posted by spuffy slave at 11.07.2005 15:11 AEST | #
Many thanks! I can't resist playing with Andrew, he's so much fun — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:12 AEST | #
Lol! Well, I have to admit to being with Andrew; I'm trying to do the same thing with Gargoyles figures — via LiveJournal — posted by IrishVampire13 at 11.07.2005 15:13 AEST | #
I can't see Xander being too much different. The arguments would be over shelf space rather than content — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:13 AEST | #
LOL ^_^ ::giggles:: — via LiveJournal — posted by Wednesday A at 11.07.2005 15:14 AEST | #
I bring you amusement! — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:14 AEST | #
hehe, that was great. I wonder what Andrew had to do to get Spike to help him move in... — via LiveJournal — posted by mudder08 at 11.07.2005 15:15 AEST | #
Asked nicely? Threatened to mention where Andrew's hands were when they were on the bike? — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:15 AEST | #
lol. Poor Spike has to keep his reputation intact. :) — via LiveJournal — posted by mudder08 at 11.07.2005 15:16 AEST | #
Hee! ::laughs:: The dialogue suits both characters. I can just picture that scene happening in my mind. Wonderful job! — via LiveJournal — posted by Chessie at 11.07.2005 15:17 AEST | #
They are a fun pair to write. Thanks! — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:17 AEST | #
Hee! That was a fun one — via LiveJournal — posted by semby at 11.07.2005 15:18 AEST | #
Thanks! Andrew is always fun — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:19 AEST | #
Where do you want your dolls?

Brilliant — via LiveJournal — posted by Elen Ancalima at 11.07.2005 15:20 AEST | #
Thanks! It's one of those things non-geeks just don't get. Or do and then just wind you up about it — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:20 AEST | #
Oh, too cute. I like our young Andrew more and more... — via LiveJournal — posted by rayne_y_daze at 11.07.2005 15:26 AEST | #
I don't think it's possible to not like Andrew, he just worms his way into your affections. Which sounds a bit like a parasite really — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:27 AEST | #
Some things never will! — via LiveJournal — posted by Jan at 11.07.2005 15:28 AEST | #

Haaaaaaaaaa!! "Where do you want your dolls?"

Excellent! — via LiveJournal — posted by roxymissrose at 11.07.2005 15:32 AEST | #
Thank you! — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:32 AEST | #
You've brought Andrew to London?! Oh, this is going to be fun... ::eg:: — via LiveJournal — posted by Moonbeam at 11.07.2005 15:33 AEST | #
Now I have to find a way to work him into the London!verse. Or at least cameo him on occasion — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:33 AEST | #
What a great combo, Spike and Andrew. Thanks for bringing them together one more time. Loved the "Where do you want your dolls" line and can imagine the expression on Andrew's face with his little demur. Tom Lenk's delivery and facial expressions was one of the absolutely best things in boths shows — via LiveJournal — posted by sottovoce10 at 11.07.2005 15:34 AEST | #
He was amazing. I think his skill as an actor was probably the only reason Andrew didn't get killed off, he was just too adorable — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:35 AEST | #
Muhaha. You convey a huuuge amount of spot-on characterisation in, like, four words! Brilliant! — via LiveJournal — posted by frimfram at 11.07.2005 15:36 AEST | #
Many thanks. I seem to have a knack for drabbles, now if only the muse would extend itself a little... — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:36 AEST | #
aw, geek sweetness — via LiveJournal — posted by Pheral at 11.07.2005 15:37 AEST | #
It is. Andrew should have room to properly display his dolls little plastic men. Although if Xander doesn't put in an appearance, he'll soon be crowded out — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:39 AEST | #
You know I'm your number one fan, right? ;-))

I just love this. It's so Andrew, it's so Spike. Please tell me this is on of a series.

Love it! — via LiveJournal — posted by murielle at 11.07.2005 15:40 AEST | #
I hadn't planned anything further other than possibly dragging young Andrew into the London!verse at some point. But if you want a follow up, you've got to supply a challenge — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:40 AEST | #
Lovely! Give me a few days to mull it over, I'm sure I can come up with something. ;-D — via LiveJournal — posted by murielle at 11.07.2005 15:41 AEST | #
Ah, Andrew... ::ruffles his hair, 'cause he's such a little boy at heart:: — via LiveJournal — posted by Elizabeth Culmer at 11.07.2005 15:43 AEST | #
He's so irresistable — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:43 AEST | #
hee. great dialog — via LiveJournal — posted by a2zmom at 11.07.2005 15:44 AEST | #
Many thanks! I love playing with Andrew — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:44 AEST | #
hmmm... short lol but good I liked it ^_^ — via Forever Fandom — posted by Cheree Dougherty at 11.07.2005 15:46 AEST | #
I've been so buried between the cruise, work and the Soul Survivor episode that I've been neglecting my flist.

I don't think I've been seeing you as much on the Yahoo lists though, which is where I usually look for you.

Lovely drabble. I don't think Andrew will ever grow up entirely. At least I hope not. I don't want to be the only one who refused to — via LiveJournal — posted by Sandra Strait at 11.07.2005 15:48 AEST | #
I've been uploading enmasse to the Yahoo lists, usually weeks after I've posted to LJ.

I also just culled a heap of Yahoo lists that have been abandoned by their mods and the scum at Yahoo have allowed them to become spam magnets. They refuse to appoint a new mod, are slow to kill the spammer's account and never remove spam from groups. Morons.

Andrew is always fun to write. I get to play with my not so inner geek — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:49 AEST | #
Glad Spike is there to do the heavy lifting. 8 ] — via LiveJournal — posted by zandra_x at 11.07.2005 15:57 AEST | #
Heavy lifting, teasing, general shit-stirring. Guess it's the price you pay for roping people into helping you move — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 11.07.2005 15:58 AEST | #
Well, Andrew must be delighted! The Thames, London and Spike carrying the boxes!! ;) Too much to be true... — via The Bloody Awful Gutter — posted by Sandra Patterson at 11.07.2005 16:05 AEST | #
I would LOVE to see a sequel. But not a drabble. I'm talking a full blown Andrew/Spike/Xander thing. Hawt — via fanfiction.net — posted by Anonymous Coward at 11.07.2005 16:07 AEST | #
As always I loved it! Plus the part about the action figures was cute — via The Bloody Awful Gutter — posted by Sarah Leathers at 11.07.2005 16:08 AEST | #
You write Andrew and Spike really well, looking out for more of these cuties ^_^ — via fanfiction.net — posted by vanillagigglez at 02.08.2005 21:44 AEST | #
