Another week without LJ updates. As I'd said in the Bio and my opening statement, I'm here more to comment then post on my own. As with before, in the absence, here are some modified versions of the Drabbles I posted for this week's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
open_on_sunday challenge - themed around "Success/Failure".
---------------------------------------------------
Title: In the Know
Characters: Giles
Spoilers: BtVS 6.08 "Tabula Rasa"
Disclaimer: Property of Mutant Enemy & the BBC
Theme: Success/Failure
He would do this for Buffy.
She was better off standing on her own. He knew that. But there would be nothing wrong earning her some dosh to tide things over.
Never mind that this insufferable Robinson woman reminded him most unfavorably of Maggie Walsh. And though he’d once enjoyed a good spot of Pub Trivia, engaging in such frivolity now felt a bit like prostituting himself.
He would do this for Buffy. Just answer a few questions and convince the simpletons not to vote him off.
“Rupert Giles. You are the Weakest Link. Goodbye”
He wasn’t needed here, either.
(A.N.) The Weakest Link is/was a televised trivia game show. Giles, of course, is not actually the Weakest Link. He just got voted out because life is unfair.
---------------------------------------------------
Title: The Benefits of Proper Breeding
Characters: Darla, Angelus
Spoilers: AtS 2.08 "Darla"
Disclaimer: Property of Mutant Enemy
Theme: Success/Failure
Her dear boy likes to read. This is good.
Her dear boy likes to read utter tripe. This is less good.
”Ah, but Milady, I don’t see why we must continue with these lessons in Chinese, when we might be instructin’ each other in more pleasurable things.”
She sighs. Eternal youth is wasted on the eternally young. Claudio had been proof enough. But this boy is more than just a stallion. He’s special. So Darla sees to the education of her precious darling Angelus.
She has not just deserted her beloved Sire for a mere century with a loutish Irishman.
