Rome 01: Serendipity

Serendipityby Red Wolf

"Tosser," Spike scoffed as he watched Angel run off into the crowd after The Immortal and his latest conquest, Buffy, like a great mooning teenager. He emptied his glass and picked up the bag to leave when an arm twined through his.

"Long time no see, stranger."

"Bit!" He threw his arms around Dawn and hugged her tightly. "What are you doing her?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing, but let's get out of here first, it's deafening."

Spike agreed and followed Dawn out of the nightclub, hailing a taxi to take her home.
Dawn brought Spike a beer and curled up on the lounge facing him. "So, what are you doing in Rome?"

Spike nudged the bag at his feet. "Returning the Capo di Famiglia stateside."

Looking at the bag in confusion, Dawn had to ask. "He's really small?"

"It's just his head," Spike chuckled.

"Ah, Goran demon. They have some resurrection ritual, don't they?"

Spike was impressed, Dawn's knowledge of the things that lurk in the dark had broadened since he'd last seen her. "Yeah. Bit of chanting, pinch of incense, the Capo's back and all is well with the world. But what were you doing at the club, love."

Dawn shrugged. "Hanging out with Buffy and her latest squeeze. Thought there'd be some cute Italian boys at the club, but then I saw something better."

"Yeah, what was that." Spike wasn't really sure he wanted to know, seeing Dawn after so long apart reminded him of the fun they used to have together. There was nothing quite like gluing Xander's shoes to the roof of his car to serve as a bonding experience.

Dawn hit Spike lightly on the arm. "I saw you, dork."

"Oh!" And then Spike's rational mind shutdown as Dawn leaned across and kissed him, his less rational side was fully in control as he pulled her into his lap and deepened the kiss.

They soon relocated to the bedroom, shedding clothes in their wake and were far too immersed in the business of getting to know each other again to hear the front door open as one of The Immortal's men took the bag containing the Capo di Famiglia.

But that would be a worry for another day.

I loved it! Just what I wanted! It would be the birthday gift that kept on giving if there was more! — via LiveJournal — posted by Jessica at 07.08.2004 18:25 AEST | #
Seesh! Some people are never satisfied. ::grin::

Got one more challenge for this ficathon, Moonbeam still needs to tell me why Spike and Dawn are in London if she wants to see Declán, so I'll see what I can do after that. Don't be shy about dropping me a hint if I'm a bit slow, I won't mind — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 07.08.2004 18:26 AEST | #
Ooh, I like this little change to things. And, I loved the bit about the shoes — via LiveJournal — posted by dreaming reality at 07.08.2004 18:28 AEST | #
Xander, and his shoes, are not safe from my Spike and Dawn. Happy you enjoyed my twist on things — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 07.08.2004 18:28 AEST | #
I like your version of The Girl in Question much better then Joss' — via LiveJournal — posted by Kristi at 07.08.2004 18:30 AEST | #
It was a funny episode, but not really fair to any of the characters. I'm pleased you like my version better — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 07.08.2004 18:31 AEST | #
Looking at the bag in confusion, Dawn had to ask.

"Looks like you could fit about seven more heads in there, don't you think?" ;)

Seriously... okay, I still know nothing about the Buffy timeline, but wanted to let you know I'm enjoying your stories, at least. :) They often have something that make me smile — via LiveJournal — posted by Laridian at 07.08.2004 18:34 AEST | #
Another cute spawn fic yay I'm happy — via fanfiction.net — posted by Spike'sSavior at 07.08.2004 18:47 AEST | #
Got here via TinPanAlley's rec. Very cute Spawn. Gluing Xander's shoes to the roof of her car is perfect and something very likely to happen. ;-) Very nice — via LiveJournal — posted by Anne at 07.08.2004 19:16 AEST | #
Thanks. I torture Xander a lot too — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 07.08.2004 19:18 AEST | #
Yes, I like this turn of events much better than the way the show did it... — via fanfiction.net — posted by Pomegranate Queen at 07.08.2004 19:26 AEST | #
*grins happily* I love the way you write Spike/Dawn interactions. Their bond is evident despite the time and distance apart. Their conversation about the head and shoes was so funny. These details make your wonderful ficlet come to life — via LiveJournal — posted by Chessie at 15.08.2004 14:47 AEST | #
I really appreciate your feedback, it made my day — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 15.08.2004 14:48 AEST | #
Well written though it is, you might want to add a warning to the summary that it is a Spawn story... my eyes!! — via fanfiction.net — posted by Anonymous Coward at 29.08.2004 21:19 AEST | #
Whoa! Surprising — via Forever Fandom — posted by Cress at 04.09.2004 18:10 AEST | #
