I wrote a post almost a year ago about "my" Spike, so I thought it would be fun to do a little exploration of my Flagship Ships and some of the traits/quirks about them that are rampant in my mind...
My Spangel.
1. Prior to Angelus getting his soul back, he and Spike got along about 75% of the time. Post-soul, 30%. Post-souls, 50%. Post-souls and post-sexy-fun-times, 85%. They would probably consider it breaking even.
2. Of all his virginities to lose, Spike lost at least two of them to Angel. Of course, Spike's going to be a virgin forever, so there's that fun to be had taking them over and over again.
3. Spike stole the Crown Jewels. Angleus made him take them back.
4. Spike has no idea that, while he was paralyzed, Angelus would pose him in different ways while he was sleeping and draw pictures of him, including but not limited to a resting Apollo, an assassinated Caligula, and a fainted Fay Wray.
5. Spike is not good at giving Angel oral pleasure. Angel is not good at giving Spike oral pleasure. They're working on it though.
6. Angel is possessive. Spike doesn't mind it.
7. When they go out on the town, they like to visit film houses. They both laugh at the French films, are confused by the German films, get hungry watching the Japanese films, and complain that Americans keep co-opting all good foreign films and making them horrible. Then, the Caine Mutiny begins.
8. Together they've probably blown the limit of an Amex at the Hustler Hollywood store. Angel has also spent a small fortune on Spike's collection of custom lingerie from Agent Provocateur. It's hard to get a corset specifically made for a man these days.
9. Angel's favourite sexual position: Missionary, even though Spike's ankles dig into his shoulders sometimes when he's trying to get a good thrust on.
Spike's favourite sexual position: On his side or sitting on Angel's lap though the lap position makes it hard for him to keep Angel's big meaty paws off his chest. What? Don't judge. Spike has sensitive nipples.
10. Angel loves Spike's feet... and he loves the thing Spike can do with his feet. Makes up for Spike's lack of BJ skills.
11. "Snuggle," "cuddle," and "nuzzle" are not in their vocabulary... but they do them all the same after a hard night's battle.
12. They argue about music. Spike likes his Sex Pistols, Ramones, Clash, and Dead Kennedys (there's always room for Jello Biafra). Angel has his Barry Manilow and classical music. However, they can both listen to the Pogues, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and Rasputina (Angel thinks the cellos sound pretty). Also, they quite enjoy the jazz and popular music of the 1940's through early 1960's, including the talents of Frank Sinatra, Cy Coleman, Eartha Kitt, Gale Garnett, and Julia London.
13. They have fun making up pseudonyms while on stake-outs and undercover missions. Angel was personally fond of being "Mr. Rackham" to Spike's "Mr. Bonny." That's a whole new kind of pirate right there. XD
My Sprusilla
1. Drusilla fell in love with Spike the moment he faced Angelus's wrath to fight for her. It was then that she saw her bravest knight was real. She still loves him even though her addled mind won't let her show it properly, and Spike loves her now as then. If they could figure out how to be together and the opportunity presented itself, they'd reunite. They're each one half of a destiny intertwined.
2. Because of Dru, Spike knows far too much about the different kinds of dolls and has memorized A. A. Milne's Now We Are Six from cover to cover after reciting the verses so many times.
3. The only person who knows that Spike cried while watching Bambi is Dru. He made sure of it. It's a good thing the theatres of the time were so flammable.
4. Spike can give French manicures/pedicures... He's good at it too.
5. At Woodstock, Spike got so high he swore that Drusilla spoke with complete and perfect clarity for hours and hours... He realized later that that clarity was probably just a product of his drug-fueled imagination as he found her naked and up a tree right before dawn.
6. Drusilla was always fond of telling Spike what his blood tastes like- buttercream, cherries, marzipan, gumdrops, peppermint, etc. When she would ask what her blood tasted like, Spike liked to reply, "Snozzberries." "But what do snozzberries taste like?" she would inquire. His response? "Like snozzberries, of course."
7. Over the years, Spike has gotten Drusilla a lot of pets. 457 cats, 239 dogs, 141 birds, 85 rodents of various species and sizes, 26 human children, and one very brassed off baby alligator. Only the alligator survived.
8. They once lived on a houseboat, sailing up and down the Seine, for six months... until the houseboat capsized. Damn alligator got too big.
9. Drusilla took Spike's virginity shortly after he rose from his makeshift grave in the basement of the Morton Street Mews. It was his first time seeing a woman nude in the flesh, so to speak. Things didn't exactly look like he thought they were going to, but he figured where things were supposed to go rather quickly. Remembering that night later, Spike wished she had deflowered him before she turned him so that he wouldn't reek of virgin for the rest of his eternal life.
10. Spike had a tattoo in 1958. It was a Queen of Hearts with "Drusilla" emblazoned across it in flowing script on his thigh. He burned it off with holy water when she ran off with a Blix demon. He thought about getting it redone when they got back together, but decided against it.
11. There were always moments, quiet moments, when they were alone that Spike could feel Drusilla's love wash over him, filling him up, making his unbeating heart swell with ecstasy. Her eyes would be clear and bright, and he could believe every promise of undying love she made then was of sound mind. He clung to those moments when she would inevitably hurt him.
12. It took a woman like Drusilla to turn Spike from a shy, mousy poet into a wanton exhibitionist. They both tend to enjoy wild, dangerous, outdoor sex... though Spike likes any kind, really, from vanilla to *redacted to protect the innocent.*
13. Spike and Drusilla got married once... Well, they almost got married. Halfway through the ceremony, they ate the vicar. Probably should have waited until after the "I do"s.
My Spred (or Frilliam, 'cause it sounds cuter).
1. Fred would have never have guessed that Spike would be the guy that she could bring home to Ma & Pa Burkle.
2. On occasion, they have been known to enjoy copious amounts of fried food, TexMex, and Snow Peak Peach Boone's.
3. Spike got introduced to real country music, the music of pain, possibly a form of American punk. He quite likes Conway Twitty and Porter Wagoner. Fred's mom is more pleased with this than Fred.
4. Fred spends far too much time trying to convince Spike that he's more intelligent than he gives himself credit for. He can be a bit stubbornly dim sometimes.
5. Spike and Fred like to roleplay. Sometimes, they pretend that Spike is a secret agent and Fred is a Bond-esque femme fatale who wants to make him talk... and he always does. He would make a horrible spy.
6. Spike likes it when Fred takes care of him. Even though she knows vampires can't get sick, Fred lets him fake a cold or a stomach ache every once and a while. She fluffs his pillows, brings him soup, and gives him bed-baths, which he is very enthusiastic about. He is less enthusiastic when Fred brings out the thermometer and other medical instruments that make his insides uncomfy.
7. There's something about Fred that makes Spike want to wear brighter colours. Bright reds, sky blues, pale greens. He wants to pull on some khakis and a polo shirt for her, but she never asks him to. She'd be just as happy with him wearing leather pants and a mesh tank top... though she'd probably giggle at him wearing a mesh tank top.
8. Fred has seen Spike's sexy dance. She really likes his sexy dance.
9. Spike has seen Fred's sexy dance. She likes wearing his leather coat with nothing underneath while she does her sexy dance. Spike really likes it when she does that.
10. Fred got Spike some reading glasses since vampiric sight has only exacerbated his original slight farsightedness. Spike thinks he looks like dork with them on, but Fred thinks they're really cute so he wears them sometimes even when he doesn't need to.
11. Fred doesn't make fun of Spike when he gets kidnapped, and he returns the favor when she is eventually kidnapped.
12. They like watching Mythbusters, and Fred has to dissuade Spike from attempting any experiments in her apartment. The "do not try at home" warning is there for a reason, silly vampire.
13. Nothing is quite as perfect as lounging in a warm fluffy bed with your vampire on a lazy Saturday morning, eating a big bowl of 3 different cereals mixed together (Honeycomb, Lucky Charms, and Trix) while watching Scooby Doo and complaining about how the new ones will never be as good as the old ones.

That was perfect.
I have to say that I can get behind 90% of the above sentiments. At least.
