Thanks to everybody who wished me a speedy recovery. I'm feeling a bit better, so go you all* and your virtual chicken soup.

Spander Inquisition fic is 2300 words long, about 3/4 done and currently has no slash. Not even subtext. What it does have is Spike and Xander bitching at each other in a seedy bar in Cairo while Illyria quotes T.S. Eliot at them, but that may be the cold medicine coming through.

* To use proper Northern Irish, "go youse"

I love T.S. Eliot.

"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time." - Little Gidding.

I don't know that one, but it's lovely. :steals it for fic:

I tried to use it as my senior quote but alas, it may have been too long :( So I submitted another pretty quote, which I think is just as lovely:

"And now I see with eye serene,
The very pulse of the machine." - She Was A Phantom of Delight by William Wordsworth.

I've always wanted to write a fic with one of those two quotes but have never quite found the right idea. Maybe you'll do better ;)

She would quote T.S. Eliot.
