we have found our solace here in this unexpected place

Who: [livejournal.com profile] slaying & [livejournal.com profile] lists_to_port
What: there is a tradition that needs to be upheld on the eves of horrors.
When: sunday night.
Where: good spirits, at first. then elsewhere.
Summary: debriefing and de-traumaing and all kinds of good stuff.
Rating: danger danger high voltage -- things get r-ratedish. fair warning!

Back on Friday, Buffy had scribbled a tense little note to Captain Jack Sparrow:

Need some time. Don't worry. Mission accomplished -- no deaths. Just gotta look after me for a bit. Good Spirits on Sunday night?

-- Buffy


After returning to the village, Buffy had wanted nothing more than to find the pirate and curl up next to him. But the fight with Derek had been harder than she would care to admit and she wanted to scrub as much of that from herself before rejoining the rest of Luceti. She had Giles to look after and she had her own mind to tend to and she spent hours focusing on those meditation crystals -- begging for peace. Peace was so far away.

But on Sunday, Buffy took a long long bath. She put loose, fashionable curls in her hair and she took the luxury of all the time in the world to dip into her make-up drawer and line her eyes and mascara her lashes and pick a natural, light lip gloss. The aim was to look healthy if she couldn't look happy.

She walked into Good Spirits with apprehension in her step and looked around for the man she had asked to meet with her there.

"Skulking..." It wasn't the word he would ever use for what they'd done in that house, but--"I can see your point. I believe we've staked our claim on it, at any rate."

Thoughts of the beach should have made him happy; they DID fill him with a sort of unanswered longing. The time he had spent there, even while ill, had helped to fill that little hole in his heart that had been made the first day he woke up in Luceti and wondered whose trousers he was wearing and why there was a beautiful woman talking to him from a book.

He wondered how hard it would be on her to be apart.

"What shall we call it? You know---coded." Skulking. Journal booty calls. Whatever they were to her? He didn't care. But he could play the game as well as any other pirate.
all7seas: (come again?)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-04-22 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Dunno. I only thought you wanted, you know--" He shrugged and wrapped around her more firmly, stroking her back.
all7seas: (biting your own neck)

The old wooden bridge groaned and creaked beneath his boots; the rope-made railings twisted and complained as he once more took another step over the gorge. Forward.

"I'm not. I'm not worried. Jack Sparrow, he mostly tries not to worry. He hates worrying, in fact. He does like window-climbing."

His own version of a promise. Better---this was better. A new understanding that they could both live with, at least for the moment.
all7seas: (...one of you succeeded)

"Invitations? He likes those as well.

Buffy---Tia and Katie are going to see about our home by the sea, but they've not discussed it yet that I'm aware of. I'll stay at Cullen House 'til then; I'll understand, darling, if you no longer wish to come to that thrice-cursed place."
all7seas: (off the map)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-04-22 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

He couldn't say, that, though. But he could kiss her, gently. He suspected she might understand. Possibly. She might understand about Cullen House, now, in all of its horror and everything else it meant to him.
all7seas: (me? Never!)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-04-22 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"Peanut butter, aye. And you can make me some of your infamously delicious sandwiches?"

He stretched out next to her, then cuddled around her again, kissing her just below the drawn-on sparrow.
all7seas: (gallows)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-04-22 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Shhhh. Infamously delicious. Own it, Annie."
all7seas: (everything was beautiful nothing hurt)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-04-22 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Or maybe I've never had anything I could compare to what you give me, hm? Let's go with that assumption, sweetness."
all7seas: ('allo love)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-04-22 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
And it caused him to hold her a little more tenderly and stroke loving fingers down her back.

"And she'll realize how very much she likes pirates who very much like her culinary perfection and her most beautiful daughter."

all7seas: (leverage)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-04-22 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"How long did it take you to believe, hm? And what if my father arrives, what then?"
all7seas: (dungeonsmile)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-04-22 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't worry, love; the only one who has to impress Teague is me, really. He'd love you right off."

Jack's father could be very harsh, at times; but he could be quite charming toward women in his own aristocratic way.
all7seas: (dogwatch)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-04-22 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Trust me---you wouldn't want it the other way. Teague either takes to a person, or he doesn't. He wouldn't very much like bein' called a 'criminal,' though, Annie---he's Keeper of the Code and a pirate lord in his own right. Not to be crossed, eh?

And no-one I know of likes cannibals, 'cept maybe lady cannibals. And they don't much like cannibals, either."
