Title: Lost in the Moment Summary: Buffy discovers Spike’s back amongst the unliving at an inopportune moment. Post- Not Fade Away. Characters: Buffy, Spike Genre: Extreme Angst Length: 150 words Rating: R for violence. Warning: Character Death Disclaimer: Not mine, all belongs to Whedon and Fox. Author’s Note: I’ve been a bit obsessed with Buffy/Spike reunions. It’s a common theme for my stories. Here’s another way I’ve imagined it going down. Buffy attacks with abandon, her limbs a blur of motion slowing only to forcefully crash into the bodies of her foes. A lucky punch clips her jaw and she falls, immediately rolling on to her back to defend herself. But the demon doesn’t continue his attack. He’s already dead and another demon holds out his hand to help her stand. Their hands part and she stares in shock. “Spike?!” He smiles, eyes warm as he briefly looks her over before returning to the battle. She watches his violent dance, struggling to breathe. Spike is alive. He’s back. How? She only pauses for a moment. A few seconds at most. But it’s long enough for the knife to slip between her shoulderblades. Long enough for the blade to twist and snap her spine. Long enough for her to realize she’s let her guard down. Spike is alive. And now she’s not. ******

*sob*
No....
So poignant and well witten. Any chance we can get a sequel from Spike's POV?

*hands you a tissue* Thanks for reading! And maybe there'll be a Spike POV accompanying this. But I've got a lot of fic on my plate to write. We'll see. But I'll keep it in mind.

Brilliant! AGAIN. I love it, and I was not expecting the ending (which in 100 words is a magnificant talent!). Beautifully written and content is A+.

Thanks SS! Though this is really a pseudo-drabble with 150 words. I cheated a bit. A purist drabble is 100 words. But some people view anything under 500 words as a drabble.

Oh I did not know that! Very cool Either way, 150 words is still a feat! And you've achieved more than most people could in such a short piece.
