ship_go_boomOh God. Being that Easter is almost upon us, I have changed my desktop theme to suit the season. That's right. I have changed from dark, gloomy greenish-gray with Dana the Crazy Slayer (and some Spike) to bright, radioactive lavender with a fluffy white bunny with eggs painted on it. It's scary.
Also, squeeing. Everyone knows how cliched the descriptions for Spike's eyes have become, right? Chips of ice, yadda yadda. Every possible description for Spike's eyes (or JM's for that matter) that I've encountered in fanfic, including some by authors that somehow don't realize they're blue, I've never encountered the term I gravitate to: sky-colored. The one term that encompasses all the various shades and tones of blue out there, and, IMO, a good narrative feel for the eyes of Spike, and it's the one I never see used (maybe I'm just oblivious and haven't noticed, but I don't think so). Until now. Inrahirah's Necessary Evils part 25, about a third of the way through. I know this is a really silly thing to squee about, but... Squee! All hail Barb and her Verse!
