Open On Sunday Fairytales Prompt: And they lived...

[garnigal]

"And they lived ever after." Dru whispered to the moon.

"Happily ever after, pet." Spike mumbled against her cool white skin. "We'll live happily ever after."

Dru pushed him away then curled into ball with her hands buried in her hair. "Always dark, dark night, dark blood, scent heavy in the air, then
sun comes, and the sun makes me so sad, Spike! So angry! All my happiness, down in dust."

"Hush, princess. If ever the sun shines, I'll be your parasol. Spike'll keep you happy,  naught to worry you."

But she wouldn’t be comforted, as  long as they lived.

Drusilla really was such a tragic character. Great use of the prompt.

:( He doesn't know. - I like how the last sentence sounds. It feels like a fairytale ending, only of course, not a happy one. And vampires *do* live ever after (unless they're killed ofc), more literally than other fairytale characters do actually, so nifty connection there.
