Hi. *waves weakly* Well, so much for my recent vow to post every week. It seems that RL conspires against the composition of haiku at every turn. Now that BtVS, S2 (read Spikealicious) episodes are fast approaching at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fantas_magoria, I have high hopes of both getting on a more regular writing schedule and doing more with S2 while the big FFL project continues to percolate. So. Here are a few more. Our boy gets a new name. BtVS, S5, PG. Previous parts here. Big thanks, as always, to Mister Beta for his input and to all of you who read the wee things.

I.
Merciless hands wring
a croak of protest from his
mutinous throat: “—iiike!”
II.
Why don’t we kill you?
Careful what you wish for, mate—
already have done.
III.
William’s dead and gone,
hidebound servitude ended;
he’ll not share a name.
IV.
Avenged his disgrace
in merry parlor slaughter . . .
ate the lot of them.
V.
Re-christened himself:
an instrument of torture
baptized in bloodshed.

Oh, yes - never ever called "William" again for him.

Yay for Spike!! Sad for poor hidebound William but he's never really gone, is he?
Love #5 Re-christened himself The ever changing Spike.

FFL is my favorite, too, and I'm so glad that the writers gave us William; just knowing Spike's history makes him at least ten times more interesting and complicated as a character. *hugs episode* Heh.

PS. Sorry for my lack of verbalitude, but this wedding has consumed the last of my brain cells. Next week, once we get back, I'll be in much better form. *squish*

Ha! "Verbalitude." I'm totally borrowing that; I've been fried on sudafed for over a week now, and, as I keep saying at work, "I no have word!" Hugs to you, and I hope that the wedding goes off without a hitch. (Well, except for people getting hitched, of course.)
