Bloody through playing;
no longer be sire’s toy or
Slayer’s punching bag.

Crushed Spaiku, Part 8: Processing (9/12)
I.
Wary daughter heeds
maternal admonition
against her judgment.
Crushed Spaiku, Part 7: Regression (8/12)
I.
Slinks cryptward to find
someone wants him after all;
old habits die hard.
II.
Useless to pretend
he’ll ever be anything
but death on two legs.

I.
Buffy bails, then halts,
arrested by chivalry.
Apprehension dawns.
Crushed Spaiku, Part 5: Keep Her Guessing (6/12)
I.
DeSoto, Ramones,
a flask of bourbon and thou…
birds go for that, right?
Crushed Spaiku, Part 4: Interlude, with Stress (5/12)

Slayer equation:
crypt plus vampire equals bad.
Clue in, already!

Bit leans in closer…
interview with a vampire.
Spike’s so freaking cool!
Crushed Spaiku, Part 2: Settle for Less (3/12)
Spurned, he sublimates—
finds cold, cashmere comfort in
Slayer-themed sex games.

Scoobies are dancing,
Slayer all undefended…
time to make a move.

It’s my turn to cater the all-you-can eat Spuffy buffet (Spuffet?) that has been this wonderful round, and I brought word salad. Kudos to enigmaticblues for being such a gracious hostess and big thank yous as well to Mister Beta for haiku-wrangling and to philips for amoral support.
ETA: The last haiku in Part 8 must have fallen off when I first posted. It’s back now. Also, I now have a spiffy new banner courtesy of the awesome alwaysjbj. Thank you, ma’am!
Spaiku schmoop.
Spaiku: “Tabula Rasa”
Author: mere_ubu
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Spike and Buffy are not mine. *sob*
A/N: Four angsty haiku from the final scenes of “Tabula Rasa.” Technically, these are probably more, um, “Spuffku” than “Spaiku.”
Feedback is a wonderful thing.
“Something Blue” Spaiku, Part 4: Goodbye, Honey
two spaiku: goodbye, honey
“Something Blue” Spaiku, Part 3: Love Was Phony
four spaiku: love was phony
“Something Blue” Spaiku, Part 2: Matrimony
five spaiku: matrimony
“Something Blue” Spaiku, Part 1: Acrimony
It’s my day, and I brought word truffles! (I hope no one’s allergic.) Shout-outs to missmurchison for encouraging me to sign up and to enigmaticblues for organizing the whole fabulous shebang. Also, a big thank you to Mister Beta for egging me on and to philips for her unerring good judgment. And for coining the phrase “word truffles.” :D
Other parts will be posted shortly, and I’ll have a few from “Tabula Rasa” up a bit later in the day.

Disclaimer: Spike and Buffy are not mine. I’m just gonna borrow them for, like, five minutes, mmkay?
A/N: Here are thirteen Spuffycentric haiku snapshots from “Something Blue.” In four parts.
Feedback warms the cockles of my heart. (Heh. I said “cockles.”)
Torrid Normality — and a limerick, in the spirit of the season…
Today’s my day to post! It feels like a holiday! An enthusiastic thank you to enigmatic_blue for organizing and to curiouswombat for being my very first beta! Thank you also to those who have posted already and been inspirational. Can’t wait for the rest!
One Like A Sneeze…
So thrilled to be able to post on this free day. Starting with three haikus. If they’re not correct in form, my apologies to “sneeze” experts.
