Fic: Shanshu 5 - Ream Swag
Fandom: BtVS
Original prompt: Spike shanshues
Part 4 of Shanshu
Note: With help from the Victorian Slang glossary.
Note: I really keep meaning for Will and Xander to meet in the next chapter, but it keeps not happening. Fingers crossed for the next installment.
Taming the Muse prompt: back alley
( The arrhythmic clacking coming from Millay's keyboard was somehow soothing.A search-and-rescue crew had found Will outside of the sinkhole that had once been a California town. His bluejeans had held a wallet and papers identifying him as William Pratt, a naturalized citizen. If Charlie, one of the gentlemen who'd found him hadn't taken pity and given him a home, Will didn't know where he might have ended up. He'd been surprised to find himself living with a woman. At first he'd thought Millay must have been married to either Charlie or the roommate Dave but she had her own bedroom and, in fact, had turned out to be Charlie's cousin. Will had discovered himself, learned his own interests and habits, with the sound of Millay's clattering keyboard as background music. To this day the sound of a keyboard made him feel safe, comfortable, at home. )
