Thanks again to [livejournal.com profile] selene2 for requesting Ethan + postcard I have another drabble and this one fits nicely into the Days of Blood and Wine series using the prompt 'colourful'

Title: Like the Blue of Your Eyes
Prompt: #55 Colourful
Pairing: Giles/Ethan
Word count: 100
Rating: G


Days of Blood and Wine series can be read in chronological order HERE or from the prompts table HERE


Please Note: This series is interwoven with my Spuffy fic Duty Bound and for this reason there are some instalments where for the purpose of continuity the text or part thereof is taken directly from Duty Bound



Like the Blue of Your Eyes


His hand hovered over the post box, the brightly coloured card held loosely, poised at the opening.

The picturesque beach with its azure waters and blinding white sand was somehow too perfect—almost surreal despite the reality of those crystalline waves crashing onto the manicured beach only yards away from where he stood.

The salt tang had brought memories crashing back—a different beach and simpler, happier times, and it was that foolish nostalgia that had led to his purchase. With a curse Ethan shredded the card and dropped the fragments in a nearby bin.

There was no going back.

Nice indeed! But...

May I ask you "why that title" ?

Thank you.

*shrugs* It's just what came to mind... the ocean... Giles' eyes. Seemed fitting.

I asked because to me ASH/Giles' eyes are green, so I wasn't sure it was a hint at *his* eyes.

They looked pretty blue when I met him in Melbourne.

Really ? That's the first time I hear that!

They look so green on screen and on every picture of him I saw. Well there's a bit of chestnut in one eye (can you tell I studied the subject?!lol).

You're turning my world upside down!

LOL...well, you've got me worried... am wondering if he had coloured contacts in or something.

We must investigate!!!!LOL

Mmmm I found this:

Did he sing "Behind Blue Eyes" in Melbourne ? Could be a reason to wear coloured contacts.

I can't remember... I know he sang Sweet Transvestite... but I don't remember the other songs.

Oh, well. LOL. As I can't think of a different title it will have to do for now.

I'm sorry for questioning the title, I couldn't help.... As I said the fic is lovely and it is what matters.

May Githan rule!

No, that's okay... I don't mind at all... It just threw me as his eyes definitely looked blue when I met him... lovely laughing ice-blue eyes.

I am very glad you enjoyed the drabble, though. *hugs my poor sad Ethan*

I spent ages trying to work out what colour they were from screencaps and eventually came to the conclusion it's nearly impossible to define them. In one screencap they'll look blue, in another, grey or green all depending on his mood, what he's wearing, the lighting... Of course, it doesn't help that for much of his Buffy career, they're hidden behind a layer of glass most of the time...

Wow! It is sad that I am down to only one Giles icon in the batch. Don't mind the Ganya.


I am thrilled that I bullied prompted you into another drabble from this wonderful series.

Drabbles are fun (if very challenging) and your drabbles are always a wonderful read. How you pack so much into 100 spare words I'll never figure out.

*hugs*

Thanks for the challenge, sweetie... it got the muse up off his butt for a little while.
