The Choice of Weapons 1/1

missmurchison

Title: The Choice of Weapons
Author: Miss Murchison
Medium: Fic
Rating: G
Words: 1539, some stolen from Edna St. Vincent Millay

Years ago, someone commented to me that Edna St. Vincent Millay would have been a good vampire. Ever since, I’ve imagined that she had a fling with Spike at some point. She certainly knew Drusilla, whom she describes in Siege:

This I do, being mad:
Gather baubles about me,
Sit in a circle of toys, and all the time
Death beating the door in.

The second book of poetry I picked up for inspiration was a collection of her works. I borrowed the first lines of a sonnet for this fic. This isn’t the sort of thing I usually write. It’s not cheerful, and there’s no happy ending.

This is set post-NFA, the AtS finale, with no references to the comic book seasons, because I haven’t read any.

Disclaimer: The characters belong to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, etc.

Title: The Howling of Wolves is without World
Author: Miss Murchison
Medium: Fic
Rating: G
Words: 538, some stolen from Ted Hughes
Summary: Usually, Seasonal Spuffy is my chance to dust off something that’s been sitting on my hard drive waiting for a lot of perspiration to be added to the inspiration that made me start it. But with the exception of a WIP, I don’t have anything Spuffy that’s sufficiently inspired to warrant any perspiration. I tried a few things, but nothing progressed. When I came in from covering the tomato plants tonight to protect them from frost (seriously, Iowa, it’s the middle of May, WTF?) I still only had a couple of hundred words of this.
