Suburban Disturbance

Happy Tenth Anniversary to seasonal_spuffy!! And many thanks to the mods for keeping the comm going. Much appreciated.

It’s my posting day today, so here’s my entry. Whi-ich has not much to do with the theme of the round, and is nothing like anything I’ve written before. Hope you enjoy.

Setting: A nebulous time, some years post-NFA and post-the release of Frozen on DVD, in a nebulous place that could be suburban London, or suburban somewhere in the US where they have colder winters than California.
Rating: PG-13/R(ish) for the occasional swear word and sexual(ish) situations.
Pairing: Spike/Buffy, very brief mention of Spike/Drusilla and Buffy/Angel
Disclaimer: Not for profit, don’t sue etc
Author’s note: Just for the record, I do not hate Kennedy. Also, in case you’re not familiar with Frozen, without spoilering you, Elsa is the heroine (or one of them) and Hans is… well, let’s say a not so popular character.

This is what I call a real feast, congratulations to everyone! It’s been ten years, lord, I was not involved all these years but however I was reading in the shadows and I don’t know if you feel this way but there’s so much love in this place, present in every nook and corner. You are a beautiful part of this fandom, thanks for always being there.

As you know, English is not my first language so I beg pardon for my mistakes. I have always been inspired by many people (mostly fanfic writers) but I want to talk about someone who has inspired me all my life in the fandom – inxsomniax.  I thought maybe you could take a look icons & iconswallpaper & wallpaper + header A great artist, a designer full of talent and passion for design who one day fell in love with spuffy so hard (you know sometime when life is simple we insist on making it complicated) and I was lucky to be around to enjoy all this pain. I’m just kidding, I always thought what she meant to say was “I carry it in my heart” so say what you need to say, say something that’s going to touch somebody’s heart. I know how silly this sounds but the time passes and there is a lot of affection, you could feel this in everywhere. I wanted to know what this was all about, I wanted to build something for myself, learning and exploring design because of that. You don’t even know if you could say something about your ships in your designs and for many people It just makes no sense but for some others that is why it makes sense, It’s the only way it makes sense. That is the spirit that has inspired me, one of the most important lessons I learned about graphics. I would like to give thanks for everything.

Warnings this story deals with home birth, considering adoption, found families, and duelling to the death. Not enormously graphic on the first and last.
Inspired by This is a sequel to my last Seasonal Spuffy story So Rudely Interrupted – not really what I intended for the theme but then I got all inspired. You should be able to read this without refreshing the first one, but they probably go better together (and neither is all that long!).
