A/N: This story is based upon just the title of the second prompt. I didn’t particularly like the lyrics, and the idea I had fit only with the title. Also, this is a collection of drabbles – 31 drabbles, to be exact, one for each day of the month. If you are unfamiliar with the term drabble, a drabble is a short, 100 word story. While they don’t take long to write, editing them and making sure that they are 100 words exactly is very time consuming, especially if you still want the stories to make sense. ;-) Anyway, just a warning, this one is not so bright and shiny, not so holly jolly. Perfect for today, right? Also, thanks to everyone who read and responded to Running Late. I’m glad it was well received, that the idea was appreciated and liked. Enjoy!

CFFC09 Prompt #2: December Makes Me Feel This Way

December 1st

He had worked late. Again. Jason wasn't sure if it was because of the holiday rush or because he just didn't want to go home. However, neither reason was a good excuse.

Moving through the house, he realized nobody was there. It was quiet, but, even when his family was home - the kids running around, his wife taking care of all of them, the silence still seemed to permeate the space.

In the kitchen, he found the note. Dinner in the oven, went to the movies, be back late. Love you.

He went to bed with an empty stomach.

READ THE REST HERE.

A/N: We’re taking a break from our regularly scheduled program to enjoy a little Buffy and Angel holiday cheer. Before we get to the story, though, there are several points I need to explain. For one, I have not read the comics, so I do not know what happens after the final episode of Angel. What you will read in this story is simply one option… as is the plotline I devised for Illyria in this one shot. Also, I, in no way, tolerate the other relationships the latter seasons presented for Buffy and Angel. This becomes obvious with how I handle the lasting loyalty Angel feels towards Cordelia and Buffy feels for Spike. Although I enjoyed their characters during the early seasons, it’s safe to say that my fondness waned. If you are either a Cordelia fan, a Spike fan, or a fan of both of them, just be warned that you might not agree with or like everything presented in this story. Other than that, I hope you enjoy the fic. May your holiday season – whatever you choose to celebrate – be merry.
