An old drabble about London, because that's the city I wished I lived in.

Things Past

To get his Scooby gang out of his hair for a while, Giles told them about the walking tours.

Dickens, Shakespeare, Regency London, what did they want to know about? They settled on the old pub tour, beer tasting in places that hadn’t changed in 80, 100 years.

Sitting in one, Buffy’s thoughts were of old lovers. Were they here drinking long ago? If Spike were with her, would he whisper of narrow escapes, half smile on his lips? Would Angel tell of sad hours and break her heart?

Where was she going to go, that they hadn’t already been?



And an icon.

I really like the idea the drabble is centred on.

This drabble is really lovely. I really like the part about Buffy wondering about Angel and Spike.

And the icon is super cool. Might have to snag it.

Mmmmmm...I love London and the Walking Tours is a perfect diversion for this group.

Nicely done. I liked how you brought it back to a Buffy internalization!

I really liked that drabble. Could really hear Buffy's sadness coming through in it. And her inner monologue was perfect.

Love the icon too. Very nice. It looks like one on the walk of fame. :)
