Title: Harmless Fun
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Author: veronyxk84
Characters: Buffy, Dawn (mentioned: Spike, Xander)
Rating: PG-13/Teen
Length: 200 (Google Docs)
Content notes: mention of alcohol use, legal age
Spoilers/Setting: Set in a post-series future where Buffy/Spike and Dawn/Xander are established couples.
Summary: Karaoke night.
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction created for fun and no profit has been made. All rights belong to the respective owners.
Author notes: “Seven Drunken Nights” is an Irish folk song by The Dubliners, whose last two verses are often skipped when performed because they're considered too raunchy. [More info on Wiki and here's a lovely censored performance by Celtic Thunder.]
While it might make little sense for Spike (British) to sing this song, Dowling might have had Irish ancestors (according to a surname search) and this dare was meant for fun.
BTW, I absolutely love this song (Mike Denver's version) to which I learned a line-dance choreography years ago.
