These were all written ages ago; before I started posting fanfiction. They are little snippets of conversations between Buffy and Angel, or Buffy and Angelus.

The lack of quotation marks might get a little confusing and I apologize in advance.

I am halfway done with the next chapter for Blindness, just an FYI. And thank you to everyone for being so patient. I've been awful.

Also, a great bit thank you to RealMe2 for providing a great review that sort of kicked me into updating this, and continuing other work.

I.

Buffy/Angelus

There's nothing you can do to me. You've destroyed everything.

There's still you.

I don't care about me anymore.

I know. But you're still you. You may not care about yourself anymore but there are still plenty of innocents out there that I can use to threaten you. You may not give a damn about your life anymore but what about a little innocent six year old? I know you. I know what you'll choose.

Correction, you knew me.

Oh, really?

Yes really. I think that once I'm dead there won't be any reason for you to go on threatening people on my behalf. So I can handle a few deaths if it means I will be able to prevent more.

Really, I recall you saying something very different when someone told you that very same thing.

So?

And furthermore, who said anything about you being dead?

As I remember you did. Several times. On multiple occasions.

Ah, well, I'm a lying bastard, remember? You mustn't believe everything say.

I don't believe you.

And that's not always a bad idea, sweetheart.

II.

Buffy/Angelus

And to think I used to have no patience with tears. You look exquisite.

What-

Your anger on the other hand I've always enjoyed. If I didn't loath the word cute so much I might be very tempted to apply it here. You're like a kitten trying to fight. You fall down and hurt yourself and it is just so damned funny.

III.

Buffy/Angel

Jealous much?

That appears to be a central theme in our relationship

Wow. That really puts us in a negative light.

I know. Listen-

Don't even start. This is where you try to convince me of how awful we are together and how you should leave. But guess what? The whole noble angst thing you have going here? I'm pretty sure that someone else already has a copyright on that.

I'm a negative influence on your life.

My life without you? Yeah, it pretty much sucks. I mean, it still sorta sucks with you in it but the suckiness level was way higher before you got here and it'll be a lot worse when you leave. My life is one big suck fest. But you are like the rain on the sucky parade. I mean that in a loving way. You block some of the suckiness, you balance things out.

I love you too, sweetheart.

IV.

Buffy, Angelus, Xander, Willow

What? None of your usual witticisms?

You aren't worth the effort.

Ohhh, burn! Nice one Buffy!

Shhh, he'll hear you!

Too late. C'mon Buff, you didn't tell me you brought your little friends to play. Now I'm hurt.

Aww, want me to kiss it better.

I'm sure he would.

Shhh!

V.

Buffy/Angelus

So quick to kill me?

I just want this all to be over.

It not over and it won't be over until I say it is.

Wow, aren't we self centered?

I'm serious. You can kill me. But I'll be back.

I'll probably be dead by then even if that's even possible.

It doesn't matter, I will wait for you to be born again perhaps without even knowing it. This will never end Buffy. Never.

These kind of suck, I know, but they will never see the light of day otherwise.
