one of the many insane things about fool for love is that they were like “how do we work a Spike Backstory episode into the main narrative” and what they came up with is “buffy needs to know more about her own history and identity and the only way for her to know more about herself is for him to tell her” like hmmmmmm HMMMMMMMMMMMM

Maybe we should think about getting a few mirrors. And maybe a drawer, you know for some of my stuff. Because that's what couples do. They have drawers.

So in btvs, like in other horror media, the line between death and violence and sex can be blurry. The act of a vampire biting or turning someone is explicitly metaphorical for sex. (See angel sucking buffys blood at the end of season three, angel drinking blood from darlas breast, spike begging drusilla to turn him, riley cheating on buffy by getting sucked on, etc.) Similarly, staking could also be metaphorical for sex. (See buffy playfully using a baguette to stake angel). A phallic symbol penetrating a heart. Therefore, riley basically used a dildo on spike that one time he staked him with fake wood, in this essay I will-

Starting a collection of pathetic brown hair girls who, because they desperately want to be and be WITH their blonde bestfriends, sleep with their partners instead.

buffy and spike in season 7 act exactly like a tumblrina and her assigned blorbo. buffy babygirlifies her problematic man because his cringefail personality has captivated her, meanwhile everyone around her goes hey remember when he killed a bunch of people? and buffy is like yeah but he's my poor little meow meow :(

Does he know about your costume? Nope. Call it a blast from his past.

I don't know if you take requests or not, but here goes nothing: What if there's a spike x reader where the reader is a slayer yet she's ofc like the opposite of Buffy(goth, rebel, lives in a trailer with her mother), and when Spike figures out there's another slayer in Sunnydale, he's in disbelief, and then he sees hee in like full goth getup and everything and assumes she's a vampire💀. But then she tells him that she's a slayer and he's taken aback and stuff(I'm thinking that it'll be funny).

I'm not the best writer, but i'll do my best-

"So, i'm assuming you're not a vampire?" Spike had welcomed himself into your trailer and was met with a wall of stakes and crucifixes that only made him slightly nervous.

"What? No." You slowly approach him, a stake behind your back and a look of both confusion and annoyance on your face; You really want him out of here. Your mother would be home from work soon after all. "Alright," Spike held his hands up in mock surrender, though it was clear this was kinda funny to him, "i'll get out of your hair in a bit. I just saw your badass get-up and thought you were a vampire. Not another bloody slayer." You lower your stake and look him up and down, then you look at yourself; You couldn't deny that he was kinda cute, even if he was possibly a horrible human-or undead-being. And you also couldn't deny that you did look kinda like a vampire.

"Uh, thanks I guess?" You were looking everywhere but at your target by now. You had no clue what you were supposed to do with him. At first you wanted him gone, but now you kinda wanted him to stay with you. "Are you gonna leave now?" You pushed your... feelings aside for now and tried to stay focused on getting this man, this blood-sucking, hot awful man, out of your home.

"Oh, so you don't want me here?" Spike's voice was slow as he walked even farther into your trailer despite you grabbing his arms in an attempt to stop him. He knew what he was doing. He knew you kinda liked him. "Fine, I guess i'll leave and never come back. I'll just be lonely for the rest of my poor, undead life." He dramatically threw himself onto the couch, kicking his feet up onto the coffee table with no regard for your things.

"Get your nasty shoes off my fucking table. NOW!" You drive your stake as hard as you could into the wood, making a small dent you knew your mother wouldn't be pleased with. Spike just stared up at you, shock and amusement mingling in his eyes. "Well well, looks like someone's got a bad bloody temper, huh?" Spike stood up and placed his hand on your cheek, a smug grin on his stupid face. "That's alright luv. I like a good temper."

You turn to look out the window and see your mother pulling up, completely unaware of what was unfolding in her house, and you knew you had to act quickly. "Can you turn into a bat or something?" You ask, the small amount of patience you had dwindling quickly. "No." Spike answers quickly, too quickly, but you don't have time to question him and instead grab his hand and drag him down the short hallway.

"Well, if you can't fly out of here or whatever, you're gonna have to stay in my room until you can sneak out once my mom's asleep." You continue power walking until you reach your bedroom door and open it, being greeted by the sea of posters and CDs on your wall.

"Maybe i'll shove you into the back of my closet and forget about you until I eventually move out of this shithole and I have to dig deep into my closet to get my things and i'll find you back there. That sounds exciting, huh?" You weren't looking at Spike so you didn't notice the large, shit-eating grin he had on his face.

He'd gotten into your room like he wanted to, but now what?

Hopefully this is what you had in mind and it didn't suck too bad!
