// So one of my HS besties went to a wedding in Wisconsin and brought me back just a SACK OF CHEESE. Cheddar cheese. String cheese. Cheese curds. You name it, it's in there.

It's amazing.

@intcthatgoodnight sent: ❛ You'll get used to killing. Just forget about that mortal coil. You'll become accustomed to it, all too quickly. ❜ (for amythest from angelus)

Turning away from the other vampire, the blonde lowered her eyes to the ground. He was wrong, she'd never get used to it. She had killed before, during her time as the Slayer, but those had been demons. Monsters. Agents of evil. These were...

"I'd rather starve." She would not kill an innocent. And nothing he could do would change that.

@intcthatgoodnight sent ❛ No one will harm you. I won't allow it. ❜ (for katherine from connor)

With a nod, the blonde followed her brother inside the abandoned apartment building. "You know...if we weren't currently running for our lives, I'd be impressed by how many enemies our parents have collectively gathered."

Because, honestly, it was a lot. And then if you added their aunts and uncles into the mix... It was a miracle they didn't end up in situations like this every day.

"So what now?"

[in-every-generation]

"Cordy called me. Because unlike your now former friends, I'm somewhat of an expert when it comes to your jackass-ery." She had, after all, lived years with Angelus. Had shown up in Sunnydale following his reemergence.

"Want to tell me what's going on?" She perched herself on the edge of his desk, picking up a paperweight and turning it over in her hands.

"You'd think that after the whole, setting people on fire, betraying a fair amount of former friends and of course joining evil inc," Angel pauses, "that not very many people would keep on showing up, but here you are."

"Not that I mind, but it does get to be a little weird sometimes."

❛ So you want me to tell you the story of my life. ❜

❛ What were you going to do? Kill me, drink my blood? ❜

❛ I'm flesh and blood, but not human. I haven't been human for 200 years. ❜

❛ I couldn't bear the pain of their loss. I longed to be released from it. ❜

❛ You lack the courage of your convictions. Do it! ❜

❛ Don't be afraid. I'm going to give you the choice l never had. ❜

❛ Your body's dying. Pay no attention. It happens to us all. ❜

❛ No words can describe it. Might as well ask Heaven what it sees. No human can know. ❜

❛ You'll get used to killing. Just forget about that mortal coil. You'll become accustomed to it, all too quickly. ❜

❛ There's nothing in the world now that doesn't hold some...Fascination. ❜

❛ The dark gift is different for each of us. But one thing is true of everyone. We grow stronger as we go along. ❜

❛ That's more like it! Anger! Fury! ❜

❛ Remember: Life without me would be even more unbearable. ❜

❛ You must know something about the meaning of it all. ❜

❛ They know about us. They watch us dine on empty plates and drink from empty glasses. ❜

❛ Forgive me if I have a lingering respect for life. ❜

❛ Perfect! Just burn the place! Burn everything we own! Have us living in a field, like cattle! ❜

❛ What if there is no Hell? Or they don't want us there? Ever think of that? ❜

❛ You're in love with your mortal nature. You resist what can bring you peace. ❜

❛ We're predators, whose all-seeing eyes give them detachment! ❜

❛ It's your coffin, enjoy it. Most of us never get to know what it feels like. ❜

❛ Kill them swiftly if you will, but do it! For do not doubt you are a killer! ❜

❛ My philosopher. My martyr. "Never take a human life.” ❜

❛ Pain is terrible for you. You feel it like no other creature, because you're a vampire. ❜

❛ Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately, and so shall we. ❜

❛ A little child, she was. But also a fierce killer, now capable of the ruthless pursuit of blood with all a child's demanding. ❜

❛ Remember, never in our home! ❜

❛ Time can pass quickly for mortals when they're happy. With us, it was the same. The years flew by like minutes. ❜

❛ More melancholy nonsense. You grow more like [name] daily! ❜

❛ Do you want me to be a doll forever? ❜

❛ Can't I change like everyone else? ❜

❛ Be glad I made you what you are. You'd be dead now if I hadn't. ❜

❛ You will never grow old. And you will never die. ❜

❛ I thought of all the things I'd done and couldn't undo. And I longed for one second's peace. ❜

❛ He will never let us go. ❜

❛ What is it now? You irritate me. Your very presence irritates me! ❜

❛ Is that supposed to frighten me? ❜

❛ I came to make peace with you. Even though you're the father of lies. I want things to be as they were. ❜

❛ Why do you say such things? ❜

❛ I promise I'll get rid of the bodies. ❜

❛ We forgive each other then? ❜

❛ Good night, sweet prince. May flights of devils wing you to your rest. ❜

❛ Should we burn him? Bury him? What would he have liked? ❜

❛ You've been a very, very naughty little girl. ❜

❛ We deserve your vengeance. ❜

❛ For what could the damned really have to say to the damned? ❜

❛ There are no vampires in Transylvania? No Count Dracula? ❜

❛ I've searched the world for an immortal and this is what I find! ❜

❛ No one will harm you. I won't allow it. ❜

❛ Vampires who pretend to be humans pretending to be vampires. How avant-garde. ❜

❛ Do you know what it means to be loved by Death? ❜

❛ You die when you kill. You feel you deserve to die and you stint on nothing. ❜

❛ But perhaps...this is the only real evil left. ❜

❛ I know nothing of God. Or the Devil. I have never seen a vision, nor learned a secret that would damn or save my soul. ❜

❛ You fear too much. So much you make me fear. ❜

❛ There is but one crime among us vampires here. It is the crime that means death to any vampire: To kill your own kind. ❜

❛ Danger holds you to me. ❜

❛ Love holds you to me. ❜

❛ You would leave me for [name] if he beckoned you. ❜

❛ Is that what I should do? Let you go? ❜

❛ If you want to save her, send her away! ❜

❛ The world changes. We do not. Therein lies the irony that finally kills us. ❜

❛ I need you to make contact with this age. ❜

❛ A vampire with a human soul. An immortal with a mortal's passion. ❜

❛ You are beautiful, my friend. [name] must have wept when he made you. ❜

❛ I knew him. Knew him well enough not to mourn his passing. ❜

❛ Your evil is that you cannot be evil! And I shall suffer for it no longer! ❜

❛ I haven't tears enough for what you've done to me! ❜

❛ Oh, God! I love you still! That's the torment of it! ❜

❛ Who'll care for me, my love, my dark angel, when you are gone? ❜

❛ Bear me no ill will, my love. We are now even. ❜

❛ What has died is the last breath in me that was human. ❜

❛ Your only company will be your screams. ❜

❛ Maybe it was to quench those tears forever that I took such revenge. ❜

❛ You can teach me this? To be without regret? ❜

❛ What if all I have is my suffering? My regret? ❜

❛ I know you regret nothing. You feel nothing. If that's all I have left to learn, I can do that on my own. ❜

❛ You've come home to me then? ❜

❛ I'm a spirit of preternatural flesh. Detached. Unchangeable. Empty. ❜

❛ That's it? No, it can't end like that. ❜

❛ What I wouldn't give to be like you, to have your power, to have seen the things you have seen. ❜

❛ You want a companion. You want a link to the outside world. That's me. Take me.❜

❛ Do you like this? Do you like being food for the immortals? Do you like dying? ❜

❛ I assume I need no introduction. ❜

❛ Still whining. Heard enough? I've had to listen to that for centuries. ❜

Let me tell you... the way she ABSOLUTELY blows up his spot... Spike: What can I say, I've always been bad... Amythest: You used to tuck yourself into corners at parties, scribbling away in your journal....

I have so many alternate scenes in my head for that episode. SO MANY.

Buffy: What happened the night you died? You said Drusilla turned you but... Amythest: -looking at Spike- Uh...to understand how I died, you kind of need to know how he died....

// Somewhere Spike's mojo got a little bit put out because Buffy invited Amythest to the Bronze to ask questions too

It wasn’t completely unusual to hear the sounds coming from the kitchen at all hours of the day – between Buffy, the kids, and Spike, someone was always looking for a snack. What was a bit unusual was to hear sounds that made it seem like someone was waging war on the oven. And yet, if one was to judge strictly by the noise, they might believe that was exactly what was happening.

In reality, the noise was being caused by a sixteen year old blonde – dressed in Slytherin Quidditch pajama shorts and top and attempting to make a cake. And not a boxed cake, either. No. It was her mother’s birthday and her mother deserved a proper cake. One baked from scratch.

Flour dotted her hair and clothes while covering most every surface in the kitchen. A milk container lay on it’s side, dripping into the sink. And little pieces of egg shell seemed the be everywhere.

Looking up from where she was trying (and failing) to keep the electric beater from sending batter flying about the room, she greeted the other person with a sheepish sort of smile. “It was supposed to be a surprise….”

[in-every-generation]

"Speaking of Slayers...not that Angel and I don't love having you here...shouldn't you be hunting down Buffy? Letting her know you're alive?" Amythest knew the Slayer would want to know. Buffy had been devastated at losing her brother. Or thinking she lost her brother.

"According to Xander, they're in Italy. Set up a small base of operations there. Her, Faith, Dawnie...the whole gang."

That wedding had been a whole ordeal with trying to keep the demon world a secret from the family members that didn’t know the world the way they did. Next to the night he was turned and Amythest’s circumentium, that was the longest night of his life.

“No point to being a normal slayer and watcher. They don’t live as long being normal.” Even the 70’s slayer hadn’t been normal with as long as it seemed she’d held on.

"You and me both..." Growing up in England, Katy had loved Christmas -- both the day itself and the overall season. There was just something...magical about London in December. Trees everywhere. The entire city covered in a veil of twinkling lights...

Quite different from the California Christmas she was now celebrating. Not that Christmas in Sunnydale was bad...

But maybe that's why she went with the angel instead of the traditional star. A different topper for a different sort of Christmas.

Looking up at the tree, she smiled before turning her attention to her father -- giving him a small nod. "I have a few things in mind. Like those collected works of Shakespeare we saw in the bookstore in LA and...my own grimoire? I know...I know...but I think I'm ready. Uncle Ethan says I'm ready..."

Grinning at the Slayer, Cherie gently shoulder bumped Fiona. "Any time."

"Hey!" Fiona bumped her back with a laugh. "Watch it or no more treats for you."

"Rude."

It was good to know that Halloween had been just as they expected -- that no harm had come to Fee's parents or to any of their friends. Well...aside from the hangovers that a few of them would wake up with. James had practically had to carry his sister home come the end of the night. Though something told her their dad was more than equipped to handle such an ailment.

So while maybe a little worse for the wear...her no harm comment still stood.

At the mention of coffee, Fiona's attention immediately moved to her father. "Yes, please." Not that she needed it to wake up. The adrenaline caused by the hunt had more than done that. But coffee would help keep her going... "Cherie?"

"Definitely. Lemme just tell my dad I'm gonna be a bit later than I originally said. Unless we want to risk Kelden joining us." Cherie loved her half-brother. But he was not AS chill as their dad and so could come off a little...overprotective sometimes.

Faith had to laugh at her daughter suddenly becoming the parent. Seems like both parties missed a game of phone tag with one another, and there was no real harm done... but clearly she and Robin were doing something right in raising her with such a righteous attitude.

"We did call... eventually. Look, when you eat as much pasta as I did, you're bound to pass out hard," Faith shrugged. "But I'm proud of you for stickin' with the plan. Sorry we didn't call sooner -- figured the music might have been too loud and you would'a missed it anyway."

Faith raised her eyebrow at the Tito's comment. Vodka was never her particular favorite, but as long as nothing else went missing...

"Alright. Let's just chalk this one up to a one-night slip up. Got a little lax 'cuz it's Halloween. Fee, I'm glad to hear you did the responsible thing. Next time, we'll communicate better," she said, taking a few steps towards her daughter and rubbing the girl's shoulder. Faith added with a wink, "Cherie, thanks for keeping her in check."

Robin looked at the girls and shrugged. "Sun's coming up. If we've got this all settled, we could probably hit the Espresso Pump for coffee on the way back home. What do you ladies think?"
