My laptop remains in the shop (well “sent away”, according to the FutureShop tech guys who do not instill me with confidence in their abilities) but the good news is that my girlfriend’s in town! :D

AND I actually have fic!! A nice long chapter (just under 2,000 words) of If I Can’t Dance. This is for the awesome and talented electricalgwen’s birthday!! :D

Title: If I Can’t Dance
Author: cordelianne
Chapter: 4
Pairing: Spike/Xander
Rating: R
Word Count: 1,905
Disclaimer: Sadly not mine, Joss own them.
Summary: Set in season 5 and basically follows canon, although there will be twists and changes along the way. This chapter takes place during "Out of My Mind" (and there's two lines from the episode in the chapter).
Twenty paces from his car to the apartment building. A good distance. Short enough for outrunning a vampire or, as Xander discovered last month, two Hicoparch demons who, based on their gestures, seemed less intent on killing him than on something from the reproductive unit in Health Class. Of course, the easy escape of twenty paces isn’t so easy when the vampire is blocking the door.
A/N: Written for the lynnevitational, thanks to germaine_pet for hosting this shindig!
