*frantically checks watch* Whew. Okay. Good! Today is the birthday of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
c_woodhaven. *sheepish* Or it still is in the Central Time Zone, anyway. In addition to being a writer whose fic updates make me do the happy dance on a regular basis, Calypso is also one of the sweetest, most creative people I've encountered. For my birthday, I was delighted to find that she had not only written Ultimate Sin, a lovely piece of Spuffy smut, but that she had included a recipe for the title concoction as well. While I was away at my family's Thanksgiving celebration yesterday, I instructed doll!Spike to re-read said fic and come up with some ideas for a birthday photo shoot that would be a fitting tribute to the wonderful Ms. Woodhaven.
Well.
*snort* It gave him ideas all right, but most of them involved how to make Nutella mousse and get one or all of the Buffy dolls to help him and his fellow Spikes re-enact the events of the story. Frankly, I'm not sure that he chose the best of all possible helpers; School Hard!Spike has a serious drinking problem, and everyone knows that AtS S5 Spike belongs to Angel.
Such busy little vampires! If I'd known that they were this resourceful in the kitchen, I would have had them make the pumpkin pie this year, too.
Like many of Spike's well-laid plans, this one didn't end in his getting well-laid, either; once the Buffys beheld the big bowl o' chocolatey goodness, they promptly locked the Spikes in the spice cupboard, summoned the other doll chicks, and had a hen party.
After a dispirited round of dishwashing, School Hard!Spike and Ats S5 Spike called it a night . . .
. . . while doll!Spike decided that maybe, just maybe, the evening didn't have to be a total loss after all.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR CALYPSO!!! *hugs galore* I hope that you've had a fantastic day with your family and that the coming year brings you many good things and frequent visits from your shiny muse. <333

Well, certainly they don't, anyway. Is anyone in the Buffyverse over an A cup? (Besides Angel and Season 6 Xander? God, I'm cruel!)
Thleepeth thee, dear philipth! *hugth* We will catch up anon.

Out of curiosity, the hen-party consists of 3 Buffys, Willow, Ilyria, and Faith?

When I saw Illyria at the trough, it reminded me of a Terry Pratchett story in which a gal (not unlike our dear Illyria) commits noble suicide by diving into a vat of chocolate. Death (the real scythe guy) was duly impressed. "GIRL HAD STYLE," he said, or something like. I've thought on it, and that's the way I intend to go.
Hey, is School Hard!Spike after my vanilla? What a lush!
From:

Hey, at least he went for your vanilla instead of the cooking sherry or rice wine vinegar. Lemme tell you, there's a reason that they don't make a scent of potpourri called "pickled vampire." ;)

Funniest line evah! Every time I see these doll fics my day perks up about a million times.

It's amazing the emotiveness you get out of those dolls.
From:

This is what has become of my thwarted directorial ambitions. Although, really, the dolls are much less troublesome than people, and there's something pleasant about locking your actors away in a little trunk when you're done with them. ;)

ETA that the poor man who washes dishes around here probably doesn't share your assessment, but I thank you for it nonetheless.

Ha! I can't decide which I like more: spaiku or doll fic. Luckily, I don't have to decide :-)

You know, that sounded bad in my head but looks even worse in print. :O
BTW, thanks again for a lovely Thanksgiving evening. I can't tell you what a relief it is to have friendly interactions with sane persons at the end of such a day.
