Drabble: Knife (S/X, PG-13)

[electricalgwen]

This is virtualpersonal's fault, for saying "Cerebral drabble" around me. I warned her I would. :P


Knife


“Knife.

Swab.

Periosteal elevator.

Huh.”

“What do you mean, huh?!”

“His skull appears completely intact.”

“Uh - isn’t that good?”

“I would have expected some indication of the prior craniotomy. I understand he heals well, but this… looks like it’s never been opened. Was he certain it was this side that was operated on?”

“Hey, ‘s my bloody skull you’re talking about. I’m right here. Quit ignoring me.”

“Uh, Spike? Can you not talk while he’s cutting you open? It’s… creepy.”

“What, and seeing my unconscious brain would somehow be better?”

“Urgh. I am not going to look at your brain.”



So there. *g*

Cerebral drabble of a different variety! Heee, you're very clever. I love it!

*preens* Thanks! Hoped it would make you smile. :)

[eyezrthewindows.livejournal.com]

LOL. Damn you, you just made me want to know *more*, like the backstory or...something.

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's something I wouldn't mind knowing myself, lol.

Maybe one of these days... ;)

*gives you the stink eye*

heee! I love the build-up to the "huh" and Spike's reaction to them talking about his brain. This is a great exchange:

“Hey, ‘s my bloody skull you’re talking about. I’m right here. Quit ignoring me.”

“Uh, Spike? Can you not talk while he’s cutting you open? It’s… creepy.”

Yay for awake brain surgery!

i belatedly (due to computer issues) let you know that i enjoyed the randomness of this.

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

Thank you - feedback is highly welcome at any time! :)

I'm very glad you enjoyed it, but I'm not sure what you mean by "random"?

[savoytruffle.livejournal.com]

oh, sorry! i didn't mean to be cryptic. i just thought that the subject "cerebral drabble" was kinda random, but in a good fun way. i enjoyed what you did with it.

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see! right. virtualpersonal commented "cerebral drabble" (meaning made her think) about something else, and I was feeling cracked, and told her I'd write her a literally cerebral drabble...

[laisserais]

cerebral drabble *snicker* indeed! this was a hoot.

am lurking on your lj instead of doing what i should, and am pleased that i get to finally peak at your fics.

also, am stealing your buffy code, hope you don't mind. love geeky things that take hours to figure out. ;)

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

Hey, no problem, I nicked the Buffy Code link from someone, can't recall who...

Glad you liked this bit of craziness. Poke around as much as you like, hope you enjoy the visit! :)

Hee! Both awesome and funny. This exchange was perfect:

“Hey, ‘s my bloody skull you’re talking about. I’m right here. Quit ignoring me.”
“Uh, Spike? Can you not talk while he’s cutting you open? It’s… creepy.”
“What, and seeing my unconscious brain would somehow be better?”

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the boys talking away during the operation... I liked this better than the original scene, myself. *g*

[mygothangel.livejournal.com]

hee! I almost expected Spike asking for a fag...

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

Ha! Oh, I bet he would.

[darkershadeof.livejournal.com]

I love this! Thank you for pointing me to it! Very funny.

& I would soo look at his brain! There's nothing 'urgh' about it! *g*

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Yup, brains are pretty! You know Xander, though, he can be a bit squeamish. Plus I'm sure it's different when it's your loved one's brain. ;)
