I did want to really do something to show that the sniping between Spike and Xander is friendship, and paralleling it with Jack and Daniel seemed the best way to do that. These are guys, and they express themselves a little differently. And right now, I don't have thoughts of a full sequel, but I may so short stories in this universe, something closer to Toys with the standalone bits.

But as for the *actual* Toys, the Taming the Muse prompt is "bouncy ball" and I'm not sure I'm good enough to work that into a Toys chapter. Oi. Odd prompt.
