Summary: It's Christmas, and Spike and
Illyria are on a search.
Spike thought it was probably the craziest thing he had ever done.
What could possibly be stranger than a vampire and an Old One, looking for a Christmas tree...?
Spike watched as Illyria paused by each tree, her fingers ghosting over the branches as she seemed to be looking for something.
Then she stopped, in front of a tree that didn't look all that special. She stared at it for a moment, before turning to Spike.
"This one speaks to me," she murmured, but before she could say anything more, Spike cut in.
"We'll take it."
And he saw the tiniest of smiles grace Illyria's lips.
