#Buffy the Vampire Slayer Willow Rosenberg imagine

[camellcat]

I know people like to act like spike would be this master at cooking bc he's lived so long, but he's also a vampire. why the hell would he need to know how to cook human food? everything he likes is easier done by other people anyways and probably tastes better bc he didn't have to put any effort into it other than eating

so. do you think it was tara or willow who would've taught him how to make food for dawn

[oveliagirlhaditright]

For funsies, some stuff about the Buffyverse characters that I've learned from reading the books and comics (a.k.a. fandom things they like):

Willow is a fan of Roswell (the OG one, of course).

Cordelia likes Bewitched. Namely Endora.

Anya's a fan of The Jetsons.

Since in one of the tie-in books, Dawn makes a positive reference to Jessica Alba, I think this means that she's a Dark Angel fan (since when Buffy takes place, that's largely what Jessica Alba what have been known for, of course). We also know that Dawn is a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean from the comics. One of the books also let us know that she likes NSYNC. Edit: She's also a fan of Daredevil.

I'm pretty sure that Xander is probably a "Pokémon" fan, since in one of the "High School Years" comics, he goes into a comic shop where they also trade "Pokémon" cards there. Obviously, that's not the only thing going for it--as it's also a comic shop--but this just seems very Xander, doesn't it? And Pokémon was so big in the 90's, when Buffy largely takes place.

And in the Buffy seasons 8-12/Angel & Faith comics, a number of the cast were Game of Thrones fans... though I kind of forget which characters were (I think Harmony was one, but don't quote me on that). I should probably reread the comics someday to refresh my memory on this. And just to reread them, of course. LOL

Edit: And Willow and Tara both loved this show (that was made up for the books) with this live psychic, that Tara and Giles went to a live recording of (because something came up and Willow couldn't go, so Giles went with Tara instead). And we got this Tara and Giles bonding moment that was really cute. We should have had stuff like that in the actual show for dear Tara.

Edit 2: Both Buffy and Dawn are fans of The Princess Bride.

Edit 3: Buffy loves It's a Wonderful Life, and watching this film with her dad (a number of times) is one of the good memories she has with him.

Edit 4: Buffy may not like Twilight, because when Angel calls himself "Twilight" as an alias in season 8 (it's a long story), she's incredulous that this villain she's facing (she doesn't know its Angel yet) would call himself that (edit: I should probably specify that Angel is not calling himself "Twilight" because of the Twilight Saga. LOL. Like I said, it's a long story as to why he is calling himself that, exactly), and she says she did that whole thing (story) first and her vampire was cooler. It might not be so much that she dislikes it (though she very well could), but that she somewhat feels that Twilight ripped off her own story (LOL), and--like she said--that she thinks Angel is cooler than Edward.

On the subject of Twilight, in the "In Every Generation" novel--that admittedly isn't canon and in its own 'verse, like separate from the comics for instance--Frankie (Willow's daughter) talks about how her and her mom, and Buffy (and maybe some of the other Scoobies), actually enjoyed watching vampire things like Twilight and The Lost Boys--it's sort of a silly little hobby of theirs.

Edit 5: Angel possibly doesn't like the The Phantom of the Opera (musical), because this one guy in the tie-in books keeps asking him to perform in this "demons only" performance of it that he wants to put on, and Angel is annoyed by being asked to do this all the time. So it's either he doesn't like the musical or he's just tired by this line of questioning or a mix of both.

But Spike maybe likes Phantom, because he at least knows a little but about the novel, to be able to compare some tunnels that they go through in one of the tie-in books to it.

In one of the Boom comics (that is not canon), Buffy quotes "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers, so she's probably a fan of the song there, of course.

Willow Rosenberg x fem reader

I Answered That Already

It's a regular night for you at the Bronze. You're sitting down at a table with your friends that you've had since high school. Buffy, Xander, and Willow.

You've had a crush on Willow since you can remember. But she's had a thing for Xander and then got with Wolfie Oz. You can't tell if she's into you or not, but you sure do make her flustered a lot.

The music plays and you watch people dancing. Buffy elbows you softly to catch your attention. You turn to her, confused.

"Day dreaming again?" She smiles.

"Yeah. I seem to do that often." You smile back. You turn your head to see Willow and Xander are gone.

"They went to grab drinks." She smirks. "Still got the hots for Willow?"

"Shut up." You roll your eyes.

"Come on. You're hot! Just hit on her. Well, she hasn't caught on. Just tell her!" Buffy takes a sip from her straw.

"Mehhhh. I'm not drunk enough for that." You never really get drunk enough to spill the beans. You've kept it that way on purpose. You don't shut up when you're drunk.

"Willow is a witch. If she wanted to find out, she would." Buffy says. "You haven't made it clear enough." She winks.

Before you can reply, Willow and Xander sit back down.

"Alright." Xander sighs and places a drink in front of you. "Your second one." He laughs.

"Woooww, slow down!" Willow jokes at the fact that they're ahead of you.

But that's how it always goes. "Ha ha. Very funny." You smile.

A slow song starts to play. Buffy looks at you with a serious face and then tilts toward Willow.

"Willow, wanna dance with y/n?" Xander smiles at you innocently.

"Uh.. I uh.. y-yes. Sure. Y-yes." Willow turns a deep red.

You gulp and stand up, holding your hand out for her. "Want to dance with me?" You ask.

"I answered that already." She furrows her eyebrows and then smiles, taking your hand.

---

"Light as a feather, stiff as a board isn't even real." She laughs, staring at the witch book in front of her.

You cross your legs on her bed, sitting across from her. "Well, you make me stiff as a board." You joke about a penis that you don't have.

She looks up at you from the book and raises an eyebrow. "If that's what you have, then I change my mind.'' She starts to laugh.

"You haven't even kissed me yet. How could you change your mind about nothing?" You cross your arms.

She freezes up and blushes.

"Awe.. is someone shy?" You pull the book from her.

She nods her head with her doe eyes.

You grab her chin and press your lips on hers. An instant spark that has been inside of you since school ignited in you. Her lips are so soft. The kiss feels so natural. You pull away from her and her face is just in shock.

"I think I'm lesbian." She whispers.

I Want You

pairing(s): willow x tara

summary: willow finally gets to visit tara's grave after being in England for the past few months

warnings: angst with a slight happy ending, mentions of tara's death, blood, and suicidal tendencies/thoughts, derealization, willows dark era is a metaphor for substance abuse so that may be triggering for some folks, its just really sad

an: i don't usually do ship fics, i just so happened to be in a mood. its also pride month and there is like 0 tillow content on this app *i still wouldn't recommend requesting ship fics tho*

Back in England, there was a tree. A willow tree. Unlike Xander, who was very quick to let everyone know never to call him anything other than Xander, she never had an issue with her name. It fit her. She was spindly and growing up she had knobby knees that caused her to move a bit awkwardly. Her hair blew around her face, and, just like the rest of her body, looked like if the wind were to pick up, she would be blown away. A dandelion seed in the wind that would maybe make someone's day brighter at the hope of a wish, instead of a willow tree that may actually prove useful.

She wanted to believe that she was like a willow tree, that she was stronger than she looked. That she had dug her clumsy feet into the ground and planted her roots and she would stay, unmovable and tall, until some monumental hurricane or imposing tornado came through and uprooted her. Even in that case, her seeds would be sewn into all the land she touched, and she would live forever, replanted and replenished by those who knew her, and fed her, and grew with her, and loved her. She wanted to believe that she could plant roots, that she had control over where she stayed and who she was with and if she liked her situation enough, she wouldn't to leave. Permanence. Consistency. Control. That's what she wanted.

As a kid, she wrote her name in lowercase letters; it wasn't til high school her willows became Willow. In that ranch farm in middle of fucking nowhere England, she became willow once again. She thought she was sent there to be put down. Like a rabid dog that was too pitiful to die on its own but too dangerous for its survival to be left to chance.

It was such an odd feeling; that derealization. Stepping back and watching people talk to you, touch you, extend their sympathies. Hearing yourself talk and sounding like how adults do in Charlie Brown. Feeling your mouth flap but not choosing what comes out. Just knowing that you had a body, and that you had a mind, but you knew it because someone told you that you did. That's how it felt when she thought she was going to die. Her soul had already began to check out and distance itself from the body that was going to run cold within the next couple days. She didn't even try and protest, she was that eager to let go. Even worse than simply killing a man, she didn't do it for Tara. Killing Warren didn't feel like catharsis, it felt like pleasure.

Nothing was relieved. She didn't feel lighter. She didn't feel better. An anvil sat on her chest, squeezing every ounce of life from her until she was acting on instinct and impulse. Killing Warren was a dopamine shot straight to her brain, it didn't remove the anvil or ease the ache, and she didn't do it for that purpose. She did it to do it. She went on auto pilot after the fact, watching her life pass by her and watch her kill her friends while wanting to stop but she couldn't. It felt too good in the moment. It felt like fire. She was on fire.

It was all consuming, the smoke she left behind accumulating and growing with everything she did until she didn't know where she ended or when the smoke began. It hurt what she was doing, being a woman on fire you felt the flames but were also spurred on by hysteria. She had been so cold before, and the fire was a bit much, but that's where the pleasure was derived. The cold depravity was killing her, at least in the flames she would go out in a blaze. Yet, dying then and dying in that ranch felt so different.

She felt like she deserved it both times. Willow knew that she had been losing control of her magics. Floating on ceilings and hallucinating, seeking out someone on Amy's recommendation for fucks sake, these weren't things she would normally do. She had lost control of herself a while ago, but when she went dark, it was the first time she lost sight of the reins. She deserved to die during her rampage because she was going to gut the world, turn it inside out until the oceans tipped into the sea and every piece of earth was reduced to ash, and she couldn't stop herself. Her death would've been damage control.

The second time she felt it would've been redemption. That she had gone too far and there was no saving her. Her punishment came in her separation alone.

She wasn't there when Tara was buried.

She was told when they thought it was safe enough that she was buried on a hill. They told her the gravestone was decorated in reeds, flowers, and crystals and they cleaned the white marble stone every time they came to visit her. That they took care of it, and they told her this, but they meant to say they took care of it for her. It felt heavy weighing in on the back of their tongues, that they couldn't care for her like Willow could but since she was away, maybe even dead, they would have to be enough. They were all Tara had.

She didn't know how to dress. Buffy told her to go as she is, that if anything is the same from when she was dead that she can't see her anyways. She wanted to ask if Buffy could tell who was visiting her and if she was ever disappointed, but the words got stuck in her throat.

So, she stood there, small and awkward by her girlfriends grave. She walked up slowly, like something was waiting to attack her when she made it to the peak. She expected more fanfare, more people, birds, noise, something. She had never felt so alone. She stood by that white headstone and felt the breath exit her lungs. She was back in that room again. Holding her dead body, cradling her head, the grass feeling like her soft hair in her hands. There was no ground as she fell to her knees, one of her hands covering her mouth and the other ghosting the headstone. Did she even have the right to touch her grave. It was her fault.

She had gotten overzealous bringing Buffy back and this was her retribution. While the universe demands balance, above all else it is petty and Willow knew it. She knew it didn't seek reparations, because there is nothing you can give the universe that it can just take. It demands pain. It doesn't concern itself with human emotion, it doesn't know, or need to know, sympathy or empathy. It seeks to cause pain because in a world when there is nothing you can gain, why not just take. It needed everyone to know how powerless they are, that no matter what you think you have, it's not yours. The universe was the all mother, she put you here and she will take you out. She'll take your little toys, she'll stop you from seeing your friends, she gave everything for you meaning she has every right to take it back.

But it was supposed to be okay.

Buffy had saved the universe more times than anyone could count, why does the billions of lives she saved not balance out her one life. Her one significant life. And even if the universe couldn't recognize her importance, wasn't it enough that she quit. She was clean. She did what she was supposed to, so why wasn't it okay. It was supposed to be okay, and it's her fault it isn't.

A part of her wanted to rip through the ground and prove that she was really under there. A part of her couldn't believe that she was really gone. Her spirit still lived that house for her.

Buffy was right, maybe she did need this, for closure at the very least. Maybe the room will warm up after this, maybe she'll stop seeing her in mirrors, maybe her blood will leave her hands and clothes. Her death felt so real, the blood ran thick and slick and it stained everything she touched. Her sheets had bloody handprints, her pillows smelled like copper, her skin and her nails were caked in oxidized blood and she wanted to pull it off herself. If she could trade places with Warren, slip out of her skin and set it on fire to begin again she would. Maybe then she'd feel lighter. But that's not what Tara would want.

Tara would want her to power through. She would want her to keep getting better. She would take her in her arms and brush her hair and tell her it was going to be okay. That she was going to be okay. She would tell her she deserved to be happy, and if letting her go was how she did it, then that's what needed to be done. That maybe she should let go. She would kiss her forehead and tell her she was too strong to give up. But Tara made her strong and she had never gone through anything like this and there was never going to be another Tara.

It hurt. Her head, her soul, her body it all ached and Tara's death ate away at her until she was nothing just like she was before. Lower than she was before. She was pathetic but at least her hands were clean. Now she was dirty and she should've been left to rot in the dirt.

In the ranch, she had thought she was going to be buried under than tree. Her willow tree. She had grown a patch of flowers underneath the trunk because she didn't think they would deem her worthy enough to do anything but to shovel the dirt over her corpse. It was her one selfish deed, to leave her resting sight something other than overturned dirt and dead grass. She had letters addressed to her friends in the hope that Giles would deliver them. She wonders if he ever found them. She still had them, hidden in place so that no one would find them. If Dawnie saw them, she wouldn't know what to do.

"I don't know what to say to you." She pushed out through tears. She had a lot to say to everyone else, but so much to say to Tara that her mind went blank. Tara got a letter, maybe if she had the courage, she would come back and read it to her. "I miss you. I miss you so much it hurts."

Wherever Tara was, she listened.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, and I know you're tired of me saying it, but it's true."

She was tired of hearing it. I forgive you. You were grieving. It is okay.

"I did - I did a lot of bad things, baby. It didn't make it easier and the pain it-it doesn't go away. It doesn't stop." I know, love. Life is hard. I forgive you.

But Willow couldn't hear. She hadn't heard her the whole time. She had said sorry in so many ways so many times and she was so tired. Tara wanted to tell her it was okay, that she couldn't grieve her forever and she needed to move on. Tara couldn't make it better now. Tara could barely make it better then. Willow needed to get better. She needed time. She needed grace. She was too hurt to see that everyone was giving it to her, but she wasn't accepting of it.

"I'm trying to be strong, I really am. A-And I haven't done any magics like I promised. It's been hard but-but it's been good for me. I don't know if I can do this, but I'm gonna try for you."

I'm so proud of you. You're doing so well. Try for you, not me.

"A-And everyone is doing well. They miss you, too. They probably tell you every time they visit." She sniffled a bit while wiping her tears.

They tell me all the time. They missed you too. I miss you too.

They sat in silence for a while, both leaning on the grave for different sides of life and death. Willow wept. Cried so hard her tears probably watered the flowers growing on her grave. They sat together and the quiet said more than enough, they conversed beyond words just as they were together beyond the grave.

"I love you."

I love you too. She screamed it, but she couldn't hear her. I love you still. Despite it all, I love you.

She leaned onto the grave. Tara knows because she felt it. Like the feeling of laying on warm sheets on cleaning day and finally get to rest. Like waking up to misshapen pancakes and apple juice. Like watching her take care of Dawnie and promise her that they would live together in a nice cottage in the countryside. Just the three of them. Happy. Content. At peace.

[kidcataldo]

I am once again presenting this hellsite with a sequel series idea for a popular tv show that will never see the light of day because I do not work in hollywood

Characters:

Amaryllis Kiltcher

The new slayer in town, eager to prove herself.

At 15, she’s young and sometimes reckless.

Her attempts at bringing peace often leads to more chaos, especially when right and wrong are hard to tell apart.

A special bond grows between her and her Watcher, even if they don’t necessarily see eye to eye.

Reggy Clark & Ishaan Kapur

Reggy and Ishaan are the slayer’s loyal friends, who have been with her through thick and thin. Even before they found out her destiny.

Their roles are similar to Willow and Xander in the original series.

Reggy and Amaryllis’ relationship was becoming something more before this whole slaying thing started. When duty becomes a priority, though, they agree to put their feelings aside and focus on saving the world.

Ishaan kind of hates being the third wheel. He’s the whiz of the group. Probably on the path of becoming President or something equally as important. For now, he’s just happy to help his friend in her newfound role.

Lotus Kiltcher

Amaryllis’ kid sister, always looking for trouble.

She’s the fire. Her sister is the ice to cool her down.

She’s the only kid brave enough to talk to local weirdo, Bird Pratt.

Bird Pratt

He shows kindness to everyone, alive or dead.

He attempts to befriend the creatures he encounters. Most times it gets him in trouble. But sometimes kindness prevails and he makes a new friend.

He’s the oddball, obsessed with monsters. But there’s something else strange about him. And it’s even weirder Willow sometimes refers to him as something more, something greater. He’s like a secret.

Bill Pratt

He has vague memories of a different time, of a time of darkness.

But he’s mortal, and monsters only exist in his son’s imagination—he ignores the nightmares telling him otherwise.

His son holds him in a light he knows, deep down, he isn’t worthy. But Bird’s faith in him makes him want to try.

Willow Rosenberg

Amaryllis’ reluctant Watcher, sent to protect this new generation of Scoobies.

Watching over the new gang brings back memories of her youth. She only wishes Spike knew who he was and remembered her from his past, so she has an adult to talk to about all this.

She keeps quiet, for now.

Details

I don’t really have a particular plot in mind. They’ll just be fighting monsters each episode that leads up to them fighting the final boss, like how it is in the original series.

It’ll basically be a Buffy reboot but for the modern times.

But I like the idea of exploring the anti hero this time around. Like, maybe the main character isn’t necessarily good. Maybe the slayer was a thief before all this. And this newfound role is putting her on a better path, but also maybe not.

Still not sure about Bird’s name (thought about it being Buddy, but that sounds too close to Buffy), but I imagine he’s a junior, as in Spike named him after himself, and he goes by a nickname.

Bird, I imagine, is similar to Dawn in that he might not be quite human and “Bill” (Spike) somehow became mortal and lost his memories to keep him safe.

I wanted Spike to be back (because I like him as a character), but the actor’s older and doesn’t look like his vampire self anymore, which is okay (aging is beautiful). It just means he has to age somehow.

Again, I don’t even know if any of these Buffy characters are even alive by the end of the series.

And obviously other characters from the original make guest appearances:

Buffy

She’s obviously still alive, probably slaying in Europe or somewhere. Her guest appearance most likely is to get Spike back to the way he was.

I just imagine her watching the oblivious “Bill” in the distance as he just casually shops for groceries or does something else so ordinary Spike would vomit at even the thought of doing it

Maybe they go on a date or two, but she can’t continue with the lie, so she cuts it off when she can’t convince him to snap out of it.

The other Scoobie members make various appearances to visit Willow and help out whenever they’re needed.

Notes

I haven’t finished the series yet and I’m not planning to read the comics continuing the story, so who knows if anyone’s even still alive¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, Willow’s kind of crazy right now (I’m nearing the end of season 6), so hopefully she snaps out of it.

And Angel and Cordelia could make appearances too. Probably. If they’re still around. I haven’t seen the Angel spinoff.

Idk how the whole Spike/Buffy thing turns out, but I like them together. Like, Angel was puppy love. I don’t know if Spike/Buffy is love yet (at the end of season 6), but I can see it growing into something more mature, omitting the bathroom scene.

You’ll notice this new “cast” in my concept image is a little more diverse than the original. I like having diversity.

Lastly, Joss Whedon will obviously have no part in this hypothetical sequel. He will stay far away.

[lightdancer1]

One of my key elements with In the Company of Witches and Slayers:

Stems ultimately from disliking some of Joss Whedon's tropes intensely, to a point of deliberately creating a humongously long fic that serves as a mirror universe to canon. Also a darker universe by definition as mirror universes are. One of the mirror universe aspects is particular characters who are fluffier (relatively, anyway) by canonical standards like Jonathan Levinson and Tara Maclay get harder-edged and darker elements here.

This was, ultimately, too, because one of my ideas was getting disenchanted with learning Tara was basically replacement Willow and deciding to make this one of the main elements of the mirror and inversion of canon aspects. As with canon Willow Tara is the one character who absolutely will not die no matter how much peril she's placed in.

This means she also gets to do what canon Tara wouldn't mostly because she's a cinnamon bun and both hurt and embarrass Glory and Warren Mears to the point that Witches and Slayers Tara neatly spends much of Season 6 single-handedly thwarting the Trio in her spare time, which accounts for why they go for AU Willow specifically to get their own back at what they see as jobbing to the C-team.

Halfrek, too, instead of being fridged by D'Hoffryn, gets to live and has her own key role to play in both later events and the outcome of this AU's version of Season 10.

Because canon Willow is the one who absolutely is golden no matter what happens, AU Willow has a bit of a Kenny aspect including robot doubles who exist purely to die and die horrible deaths if they were flesh and blood humans and AU Willow actually notes the irony in being so non-chalant about how the robots get it. The Buffybots of this AU also get happier aspects and unlike the canon universe the robots are a kind of third aspect here.

The irony of a mirror universe reliant on inverting aspects of canon characterization but otherwise very much the same individuals facing similar crises, is that more than a few people who died in the canon died differently, while the one death that lingers the same in both universes in different ways is that of Jenny Calendar, as it's an important note where ALL the Scoobies understand what Buffy did the entire time.

That they are in a war, and in wars people die, and the vampires they fight really ARE dangerous with Angelus in Witches and Slayers getting the ironic aspect that he's the only big bad who actually comes closest to outright killing this AU's Willow by the simple expedient of 'girl still needs to breathe' and almost suffocating her to death in an exercise of Angelus Angelusing.

Glory, D'Hoffryn, Twilight (and Yeneli), all are far more powerful than he is in every way imaginable. None of them even come as close as he did, because for all that I dunk on Angel he's one of his world's champions for a reason and when he goes bad, he goes very, very bad and very efficiently nasty for a reason.

And in terms of their enemies, it's Angelus, Warren Mears, and Glory in that order who have the greatest single impact, with Warren as the catalyst in both worlds to unleash Dark Willow, who is more driven mad with a sheer overdose of rival elements of magic in short order as otherwise it'd basically be 'Willow Rosenberg Kid Miraclemans the cast, story's over.'

Angelus has pride of place because he was where it fully sank in how dangerous things actually were, and because he's by far the smartest and the most capable enemy of dealing lasting psychological damage. He also gets his one Slayer kill with Kendra Young in this AU, who dies a different death and one that in its turn is also more meaningful.

Warren Mears, again, because he is the one who brings the heroes to their nadir in fighting each other, not because he himself is impressive, but because the very things that make him unimpressive make him this supreme danger hiding in plain sight. Given I also make a point to unceremoniously kill him off in other stories this is a result of having no choice but to use him. He's also built up as a background mook in earlier seasons who emerges as a big bad in his own right.

Glory third, because in every universe one Scooby dies to 'fix' the crisis she made and there's no evading it. Also third because relative to Angelus and Mears Glory is an entirely different threat and kind of character. She's a juggernaut with a flamboyant giggly personality who plays for higher stakes with sharper rules.

Angelus and Mears do much greater personal damage, Glory is more of a typhoon with a will and no less able to really be faced in one way, and in her own way too a pivotal point in Willow Rosenberg's rise to the renewal of magic. The shadow she casts, too, in this universe is that after a year of fighting an actual god the invulnerable juggernaut Willow Rosenberg dies, where people less powerful than she is live.

The paradoxes in that are there and intended from the start....and ultimately the irony is that this is one of the big ways to both balance things in-universe and to add to that tension and irony. Willow might be more powerful than most of her AU counterparts but she's also the one who actually died and draws the most dangerous opponents to face herself because they want a real fight. Which works as her average day on the job but if you're a squishy normal person it's rather less fun to fight the equivalent of Superman's Rogue's Gallery.

That same balance and noting the inversion of canon themes where the good girl goes bad and proves to have a rather unpleasant callous and sadistic streak is there with Pandora, who is a clone who goes through the same process to create a mirror of Willow's powers that Willow has....and reacts to it with a blend of murderous sadism and jovial cruelty that covers a deep burning resentment that she was made specifically to suffer in the ways she did.

Pandora exists to also specifically refute any view that specific bloodline or DNA matters, as in every way that counts she's Willow's mirror, except that one is the superheroic (even if she denies it) Supergirl analogue. The other is more Thanos of Titan meets General Zod, and when the two fully face each other as mirrors in Season 11 it moves to the most directly superheroic tropes.

The supervillain, as always, is the dark mirror of the superhero, and Pandora in this regard is also a very direct and dark mirror to Warren Mears, and essentially a Willow clone who embraces the villainous path and takes on more than a few Mears-like traits as, after all, the Trio wanted to be supervillains but were perfectly regular people with one super-genius. Pandora has the same blend of magic and Superman-like powers down to the eyebeams that Willow does.

Dark Willow is Brandon Breyer, Pandora is Thanos and Johnny Bates, down to embracing a blend of MCU Thanos's armor and a super-suit much like Bates' in that one issue where he murders the Hell out of London.

This is done precisely to ensure that the Superman problem is avoided. And there are two solutions to that. One is to continually create situations that can't be punched out of. The other is to introduce equally powerful villains to fight, which is a theme that starts with the Judge, includes Glorificus, and ultimately Pandora who equally when she finally decides to move to center stage against the Scoobies reveals the difference between a person driven mad with pain and long-term rage issues boiling over and someone actively trying to kill you with Superman-like powers amplified by reality warping.

So in addition to the whole inversion aspect, Buffy has a standard Slayer narrative. Willow is, essentially, very explicitly a higher-level DC or Marvel type character in the Buffyverse, and the ways she's an Outside Context Problem are one of the defining elements of the story. This is also why Wanda Maximoff and this AU's version of the Hulk are there, because both the canon has nods to Marvel and this is explicitly Joss Whedon's Wanda Maximoff, who incorporated more than a few elements of Willow

Also Xander Harris, rather than being a moral mouthpiece, is explicitly noted as a jackass and one of this AU's Tara's reasons for becoming this harder-edged and slippery slope in moral terms counterpart to other Taras (if not the outright evil murderous Siphon of one of my other AUs) is connecting and bonding with Xander over mutual survivorship of physical abuse and complicated emotions of then with Oz Willow and the influence of Xander Harris on Tara Maclay is actually bad for her and contributes to a lot of her problems.

This, IMO, would also be one of the logical outcomes of the old school 'Tara joins the Scoobies in high school' thing. Tara and Xander would have a lot of reasons to become close friends and that would be 'friends who make each other worse' through and through.

Standing up for Willow (Pt 1?)

Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Pairing: Willow x reader ( First meeting so it could be platonic if you want) 

Warnings: Cordelia is a bully.  

Summary: Cordelia decided to be rude again and Y/N isn’t having any of it. Also, I have decided to use Y/N instead of S/O in order to let people interpret things outside of the romantic equation if they want to.

Word count: 515

Y/N situated the backpack on them as they walked through the lunch line. They had been going to school at Sunnydale High for a few days, not long enough to get many friends, but long enough to see the social rankings at work. Like many high schools and other social institutions, people grouped together based on interests. Jocks, nerds, geeks, thespians, band kids, and the list goes on and on. Beyond these groups was a ranking system based on popularity, usually associated with symbolism's of class, but outliers lay in anything. Either way, this knowledge was y/n figure out to whom they could approach and for what reason. 

Y/N made their way through the lunchroom after paying for the food, trying to decide on who to try and sit with today. Normally they would sit near a classmate that they worked on an assignment with, but they figured it was time to find a little click of their own. That’s when their eyes fell onto an infuriating scene. 

“Hi, little Willow. Love your outfit, did the morgue pick it out?” Cordelia Chase. The resident mean girl that had to make sure she was on top of everyone and everything had found a victim for the day. Granted, y/n knew that they usually just said these things in passing, but something must have had the woman in a mood. 

“Hi, Cordelia…” The other girl, evidently named Willow, had a weakness in her voice that Y/N recognized far too easily. 

“You should sound happy that I’m even addressing you!” Cordelia continued her teasing and a quick glance around Willow’s table showed that her friends had yet to come. 

“Cordelia, please, I just want to eat.”

“Oh please, like you need to-HEY”

A soda drenched the front of Cordelia’s shirt as Y/N tilted the can, a small smirk on their face. 

“Are you an idiot?! What is your damage!?” Cordelia screeched, arms flailing to the side as the can finally emptied. 

“Awe, I’m sorry Cordy. I didn’t mean to spill anything on your frada top.” Y/N faked a look of sadness that could have them awarded an oscar. They sat their tray down on the spot beside of Willow, their fake frown turning back into a smile. “You might want to get that cleaned up before it stains.” The added warning had Cordelia running towards the nearest bathroom, leaving Y/N chuckling as they sat beside Willow. 

“Hey, thanks for that! You didn’t have to help though. I think she’s going to put you on her list now.” Willow gave them a sympathetic look which just left them shrugging. 

“Ah, it’s okay. I’ve trained myself to handle a few words from a mean girl so I don’t mind all that much. You are okay with me sitting here though, right?” 

“Oh, of course! Anyone that can stand up to Cordelia is welcomed at this table. My friends should be getting here shortly and I’m sure they are gonna love this.” Willow’s smile seemed to illuminate the room and Y/N couldn’t help their own smile that spread across their face.

Headcanons for spending the Christmas period with the Scoobies:

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! ❄️

A/N: I think most main characters are mentioned, so there should be a little something for everyone (You seem to get on with everyone, you’re welcome).

She’s a long one, so it’s below the cut.

Warnings: Alcohol consumption and food mention. Also a bunch of super cheesy holiday cheer (yay). 

- Giles is, naturally hosted the big meal

- Nobody had any plans that year and so he just said that his door was open if anybody wanted to come

- But he had enough food planned out for the entire Hellmouth by then

- Xander was the first to agree, Christmas around his place was not what you would call festive

- Xander had taken to insisting you and the others did Christmas activities leading up to Christmas, you couldn’t tell if this was because he wanted to stay clear of his parents or not

- Either way, you always agreed. That night it was baking and assembling gingerbread houses

- His collapsed about twenty times before he gave in

- While you were fixing his and your own, he decided to convince you all to come on Christmas Day

- Willow reminded the room once again that she was Jewish and wouldn’t be celebrating Christmas

- But when Xander decided that it was less a celebration of Christmas and more a way to warm up your holiday blues together, she agreed

- So did you, Buffy and Dawn

- (It was a rare holiday season that had lined up where you were all single and without your family around)

- After finishing the gingerbread houses Buffy called Giles in to get him to judge the best gingerbread house

- When he stopped in front of the leaning tower of gingerbread that had been Xander’s effort everyone’s jaw dropped

- Xander cheered and gloated his way around the room, conveniently forgetting that it was technically your win

- You had done all the hard work after all

- Dawn sulked in the corner for the rest of the evening after not winning the contest

- Later that month, as Giles was still planning what had turned into a five-course meal at this point, you had been surprised by a visit from Angel

- He was surprisingly big on Christmas and had brought Christmas presents early, muttering something about an LA apocalypse between then and the big day

- He was annoyingly good at gift-giving, he’s more of a listener than a talker

- So you knew you had to get him something equally as good

- You had to race to the store that evening, having not even started your gift shopping yet

- You had Tara and Anya with you, bribing them into coming by buying them something at the Espresso Pump

- You had to get gifts for Angel and his team, you knew Cordy the best and you really missed her (and her high standards) so you needed to pick something very good for them

- The crowds were hard to manoeuvre through and Anya kept elbowing people off the sidewalk that wondered into her path

- It was why you had invited her, she was like a battering ram in these kinds of situations

- She also always had a knack for haggling

- You had found some dusty antique books for Angel and she managed to get the price right down for you

- (but she also warned that if you bought her anything discounted for Christmas you would be sorry)

- By the time you were done it was late and you still needed to wrap your presents

- You grin, having an idea

- You called up your friends, inviting them over to your apartment

- For a ‘gift wrapping party’

- Aka a Trick-your-friends-into-helping-you-wrap-presents-party

- Xander brought alcohol and some gifts for Angel’s team he clearly swiped from a gas station on his way to your place

- Willow had already wrapped hers (cos she loved giving gifts, not because she wanted to be involved Christmas) and she had helped with Buffy’s too 

- but they both came for the party element

- (and… to help you obviously)

- Tara and Anya were already with you, seemingly in high spirits despite the three of you having to fight your way out of the mall

- You cranked the Christmas music up and everyone got their preferred drinks, some danced while the rest of you wrapped up your presents

- You had even bought Oz a little gift, knowing that Angel would no doubt see him in LA when he was touring

- You had always been close with Oz and you knew that although he wasn’t big on Christmas, you wanted him to know that you thought about him

- Angel ended up crashing, literally having heard your music from across town

- He was a bit hurt that you hadn’t invited him but once you explained why, you swear he smiled at you

- Maybe just for a split second

- But that was a Christmas miracle in itself

- You hugged him and loaded him up with presents for him and his team

- He was really grateful and you all partied through the night

- Angel seemed to relax and so did everyone else

- There were drinking games and a lot of bad singing to Christmas hits

- After recovering from your party and saying bye to Angel (and wishing him good luck for his apocalypse) you all piled round to Giles’ place

- You promised that you would help decorate

-You and Buffy were in charge of the tree

- While Anya, Tara and Xander were hanging paper chains

- (with anya and Xander fighting over the placement)

- Willow had joined Giles in the kitchen, watching the cookies that they had made

- Willow and Tara had been very close at your party the night before

- You decided you needed to do a bit of match-making

- You asked Giles to help you reach the top of the tree, getting him out of the kitchen

- When Buffy saw what you were doing, she instantly understood and winked at you

- Buffy went over to Tara, under the pretence of saving her from being stuck in the middle of another argument with Xander and Anya

- The witch went into the kitchen, unaware that it had been perfectly orchestrated by you and Buffy

- When you heard laughter coming from the kitchen your heart leapt

- You could only hope they were going to be together again

- By the time you were done, the house looked amazing

- Giles thanked you all with festive drinks and freshly baked cookies

- Everyone kept asking you what you wanted for Christmas, you were apparently notoriously hard to buy for

- They all groaned when you told them your only wish was for snow

- Some days, you were such a cliché

- By Christmas Eve, you had all of your presents wrapped and ready to take to Giles’ for the next day

- You had made a short trip to the hospital to visit Faith, none of you had been on the best terms when she was last conscious

- But you wanted her to know that she had someone thinking about her at this time of year

- You knew how lonely she had always been

- You left a Christmas card on her bedside table and replaced the grapes with ones you had freshly bought

- You squeezed her hand and told her she was invited to Christmas dinner the next day if she could hear you

- You ran more errands through the day, it was your favourite time of year so you didn’t mind one bit

- Most of it was ingredients for the ever-growing menu Giles had been

- He had a lot of spare time on his hands and he wanted to make it a good festive celebration for everyone

- You were laden with loads of bags, weaving through gravestones

- It was at this point you realised if any demon came your way you would be a great target

- You would not let go of the bags if your life depended on it, so a vampire could very easily overpower you

- Luckily though, nobody had stopped you

- Perhaps even demons had a little bit of Christmas spirit

- (Or, maybe, they had better things to do)

- You knocked twice on the door of the crypt before you entered

-  Spike squinted at you before muttering something to the tombstone next to him

-Harmony removed the lid and popped out to greet you

- You weren’t necessarily close with them, but they liked that you weren’t threatening their lives every time you saw them

- So, they let you off on a lot of things that they wouldn’t with anyone else

- Namely, they let you live despite often walking into the crypt they were living out of uninvited

- “Oh, I’m glad you’re here Harm!” you found yourself saying, much to the room’s surprise (mostly your own)

- You reached into your bag

- (that was much more akin to Santa’s sack by now)

- You handed her a wrapped present, it was a unicorn figurine

- She ripped into it and squealed with excitement

- “Spikey, look! Look! Aw, how cute! I can restart my collection after my horrible minions destroyed the others”

- She pulled you into a bone-crushing hug, whispering ‘oopsie’ when you made a noise that told her she was suffocating you

- “Don’t encourage her, pet, she’s already sending me round the bend about the bloody trinkets” He groaned as Harmony released you

- You were building yourself up to say something to Spike but you weren’t sure how to go about it

- You clutched the (gift wrapped) bottle of spirits in your hand, took a deep breath and tried your best

- “Spike, It’s Christmas and because at Christmas, you tell the truth… I wanted you to know that it wouldn’t be the same if you didn’t come to Giles for Christmas Dinner”

- Spike wasn’t convinced.

-He insisted it was a stupid idea, but he did snatch the liquor-shaped gift you bought him to try and convince him to come

- Honestly, as annoying as he could be, it just wouldn’t be the same without him at the meal

- It was a time to have good-will to all men (…women, people, demons and even vampires)

- So you wanted him to know he was invited

- He nodded at your gift and then gestured towards the black stocking hanging against the corner of one of the nicer tombstones in his crypt

- “Lucky dip” He said, a sparkle in his eye that meant only one thing

- It was some kind of trick

- You shuffled over there anyway, knowing that if you didn’t Harmony could probably bite you from where she was stood

- Having a chunk bitten out of you wouldn’t be the best Christmas present

- You reached in, frowning as you felt around inside the sock

- You retrieved your ‘present’, frowning at the object in your hands

- It was a single, unwrapped lump of coal

- “Uh, thanks… Spike. See you at Giles’ tomorrow”

- It was that or an tangerine, so you had lucked out really

- By Christmas morning, you were super excited

- You had always loved this time of year and you were so grateful to your little Scooby family

- You dressed quickly and made your way to Giles’, catching Dawn and Buffy on their way too

- Dawn hugged you and listed all the cool things that she had received from Buffy and her Mom

- (Joyce was on a trip for the holidays, healthy and promising to make it up to her girls in the new year)

- She liked talking to you because you never appeared to just be humouring her, you seemed genuinely enthusiastic about her new gifts

- Buffy mouthed ‘thank you’ to you and linked her arm with you

- You had never seen her so carefree and you were so glad that there had been no evil plots this Christmas

- When you arrived, Giles was busy in the kitchen but he did greet you over the sound of an electric mixer

- Willow and Tara arrived soon after, holding hands which made you smile

- Xander and Anya had even managed to keep the arguing to a minimum when they sat on the sofa in front of you

- It was so cosy and warm in Giles’ living room

- There was a fire, helped along by the coal you had sourced from Spike

- The tree looked beautiful in the corner and everyone was in a good mood

- You couldn’t remember a time when you and your friends had been so happy

- You laid the table as Xander found something festive on the tv

- Willow and Tara had brought dessert and were discussing the recipe with Anya who was looking into trying human hobbies in the new year

- She was apparently going to start with baking

- You all tucked into the meal, it was so much food but the best you had ever tasted

- Giles had covered every single food group

- After you couldn’t possibly eat any more of Giles’ food, you pulled Christmas crackers that Giles had brought

- You all groaned at the terrible jokes and fought over the colour of the little hats

- It was late afternoon when Spike took you all by surprise and entered the house, slamming the door behind him

- He grunted a greeting and went straight into piling a plate high with food

- You and Xander had to hold Buffy back more than once

- And Tara hid all the sharp wooden objects from the immediate area

- Giles gave you a withering look when he figured out who invited the vampire

- You apologised but convinced him that it was Christmas... which was your excuse for everything at this time of year

- It was lucky they were all so fond of you

- When you asked about why Harmony hadn’t come, Spike snorted almost shooting mashed potato through his nose

- He was on his third plate and it appeared to have a blood-gravy poured over the top which you tried not to think about too much

- “Didn’t want to come. ‘Fraid her archnemesis over there was setting a trap to ‘kill ‘er to death’” He gestured to Buffy who shrugged

- She was still 50/50 on whether or not to stake Spike, stating it would be giving the world a Christmas present

- But after a quick look from you, she rolled her eyes and ripped a turkey leg from the centre of the table

- Later on, you all played party games

- You paired with Giles, hoping that he would let you coast through the trivia questions

- Buffy and Xander were a team

- And Anya had to join with Willow and Tara (who were much more interested in each other than the game – which irritated a very competitive Anya)

- Dawn and Spike joined forces and managed beat you all

- Ending in you all accusing them of cheating

- Although none of you could figure out how they did it

- The argument settled down eventually and you swapped presents

- You all had a lot of fun that year and promised that this would be a new tradition

- Except Spike, who claimed that he would eat you all given half the chance

- You ignored this and focused on all the positive things

- Everyone loved your gifts

- And you got some great things, your friends knew you really well

- But your favourite gift came from Tara and Willow

- They led you outside, whispering under their breath

- You frowned for a moment until you saw it

- The first flakes of snow started to fall around you

- You couldn’t believe it, it never snowed in Sunnydale

- Everyone raced outside, making snowmen and snow angels

- You even had a massive snowball fight, where Spike sulked and went home when he realised he couldn’t even throw snow at you all without getting a headache

- You played in the snow until it the magic started to wear off

-You all went back in and warmed up, watching films together wrapped in blankets until late

- You couldn’t stop yourself grinning as you leaned against one of your friends

- It was the best Christmas you could remember

Heat

Spike x Reader

Words: 4327

Summary: A bad batch of vampires comes to town during one of Sunnydale's worst heat waves, trapping Spike and the reader in a deadly situation.

Notes: Terrible description, but I am really excited about this one. It’s longer, but I really really hope you guys like it.

Warnings: Some gore, some torture, all around peril

-

Despite the night sky above you, the heat in the air was unbearable. You practically peeled the fabric of your sweater from your arms, your tank top having fused to your body. Definitely not the best you’ve ever looked, but it didn’t matter. You were helping Buffy on patrol that night. And by ‘helping’ that meant sneaking around without her actually knowing you were there. She and Giles had yet to take you seriously as an asset, so you had to prove to them you could handle yourself out there.

You just wished it wasn’t so hot.

You tied your sweater around your waist and tossed your flashlight back and forth in your hands. It was a slow night. You’d been wandering around for the past two hours and not a shred of action was to be seen. You were half tempted to just head home, but a cracking twig stopped you in your tracks.

You whirled around, fists at the ready and feet taking a fighting stance, but there was nothing there. You felt a pair of hands grab your shoulders and you felt the icy sense of dread make your blood run cold.

“Aaaaand you’re dead.”

“So not funny Spike.” You huffed, turning around and smacking your boyfriend’s chest. “What are you doing here?”

“I could ask you the same thing, pet.”

“How many times have I told you not to call me that?” You shoved away from him, crossing your arms over your chest. This was supposed to be your badass night.

“Alright, there’s no need to get all pouty about it.” He said, wrapping his arms around you from behind. “I’m sorry I scared you, but imagine if I’d really been a big bad vampire, hm?”

“I could have handled it.”

“Of course you have. And then you would have been eaten.” He nipped your neck with his normal teeth. You tried pushing away again, but he held you against him.

“What are you two doing out here?” Both of you turned to a not-so-happy-looking Buffy.

“Um…” You wracked your brain for some kind of excuse. “Necking?”

“I’m certainly not opposed to that.” Spike whispered into your hair. You elbowed him.

Buffy put her hands on her hips. “Y/N, I told you you’re going to get yourself killed. You can’t just go galavanting alone at night hoping to catch a vampire.”

“If you let me come with you every once in a while, it wouldn’t be a problem. I don’t understand why you and Giles insist on treating me like I’m this fragile little doll all the time.” Your eyes pleaded with her to understand. You couldn’t keep standing to the side while she risked her life every night.

Buffy just sighed and looked at Spike. “Make sure she gets home, okay?” He nodded and you whirled your head around to glare at him.

“Spike!”

“As much as I hate to say it, pet, I’d have to agree with the Slayer. If I wasn’t, well me, you would be someone’s midnight snack by now.” He reached for you, but you yanked away.

“I can’t believe you. You know that I can handle myself.”

“Fighting with all of us is one thing, Y/N.” Buffy’s voice was sad, like she was really trying to help you. It just made you feel worse. “Creeping around at night looking for danger is another.”

“I just want to do something.”

“I know.” She glanced once more at Spike before turning around and disappearing into the night. You turned to your boyfriend, feet firmly planted on the ground.

“I’m not going home.”

“Alright, tiger.” He shrugged, wrapping one arm around your leg and the other holding you as he threw you over his shoulder. “We’ll just do this the hard way.”

-

You spent the next three days pouting in the mausoleum while Spike tried to get you to talk to him. Of course, during the day, you could go out and research the current killings around town without his or anybody else’s annoyingly watchful gaze. If they wouldn’t let you take out vampires while they hunt, you could at least follow up on the havoc they were causing.

You were sitting at the entrance of the crypt with a newspaper in hand as the sun finally disappeared behind the horizon. Two more bodies and still no leads… at least, not any the police would find.

You’d found a series of strange markings at all of the crime scenes- all seeming to reference an old vampire gang that supposedly disappeared around the 1910s. The mark of Riskel hasn’t been seen for almost 75 years. Better yet, you seemed to be the only one that knew about it. You could just imagine Buffy and Giles’ faces when you tell them that you defeated a badass troup of old vamps. There was just one little problem…

“You know, it isn’t safe to be hanging around graveyards this time of night.” Spike teased, kissing your temple as he sat beside you.

“Yes, but that’s why you have me to protect you.” You smirked, tucking the paper away so he wouldn’t notice it. He glowered before attacking you with tickles and playfully biting your neck as you squealed. “Alright, alright! I give up!”

He smiled victoriously and took your hand in his. “So, what do you want to do tonight? Go for a walk? Stay in? Cause a little mischief?”

Your eyes lit up with a plan. “Actually, there’s a movie I’ve been wanting to see.”

“Oh?” He turned to you curiously. You’d been confining yourself to the crypt for the past couple of nights so he was surprised to hear that you wanted to go out. “Alright. Movie it is.”

“It’ll be my treat.” You grinned. His smile was skeptical, but he was genuinely happy to see you in a better mood.

“What’s gotten into you? I thought you were still grumpy from the other night.”

“I guess I���m over it.” You shrugged. Before he could ask any more questions, you tugged on his jacket impatiently. “Well, are we going or not?”

“Alright, pet.” He chuckled, pulling you back to him for a kiss. “Anything you want.”

Of course, you knew he wouldn’t be saying that if he knew what you really wanted to happen tonight. Tonight you could prove to everyone that you could handle yourself. Including him.

-

You waited until the trailers began to move into phase two of your plan. Phase one was distracting him in the first place. This would be a little trickier.

“I’ll be right back.” You whispered, kissing his cheek as you started to shuffle past the other people. He grabbed your hand.

“Where are you going?”

You yanked it away, his tone adding to your frustration. “The bathroom. Or do you have to babysit me there, too?”

He scowled but made no motion to stop you. “I’m not babysitting.” He muttered under his breath.

“Yeah right.” You said to yourself, apologizing as you climbed over more people to get to the aisle. You couldn’t draw Spike’s attention, so you had to wait until you were in the lobby to run out of the theater. Adrenalin was lighting up your whole body, making it impossible to sit still as you got into the driver’s side of your car. Your fingers tapped against the steering wheel, your foot itching to just floor it down the road. You couldn’t wait another second to start your stake-out, pun intended.

After a few days of research, you tracked the vamp gang to three possible locations. The first was an underground system of sewers but was pretty easy to rule out after you saw a construction crew climbing in and out without being munched on. The next stop was an abandoned mansion towards the outskirts of town. Apparently, it belonged to some old movie star that became a hermit in the early 80s and died in some horrible accident a couple years ago. All in all- seemed like a good hellspawn spot.

You parked your car behind a large grove of trees, climbing up in the branches with binoculars dangling around your neck. You swatted leaves out of the way, getting scratched by a few branches in the process. By the time you reached a good lookout spot, you were nearly out of breath. And here you thought the athletics didn’t start until the fighting part.

“Alright demon boys, let’s see where you're hiding.” You muttered to yourself, bringing your binoculars up to your eyes. For a second, you couldn’t see anything, just crumbling pillars and cheesy gargoyles. But then, a particularly ugly vampire face appeared in one of the windows and you recognized it from one of the old paintings in Gile’s books. “Yes!” You cheered a little too loudly.

“Get out of the bloody tree right now!” A voice below you growled, startling you into losing your balance. You tumbled back down- hitting a few branches on your way to the ground. You fell into a pair of waiting arms that belonged to a very angry face.

You smiled nervously. “Hi, honey.”

He just scowled. “I have half the mind to wring your neck, you know? Maybe it’d actually teach you what all of this slayer nonsense is going to lead to.”

“Okay, I can see why you’d be- uh- upset, but-”

“Oh, we are so far beyond upset, kitten.”

“I found the vampires that have been attacking people for the past couple of weeks.” You pointed to the mansion with a confident smirk.

“Great, now let’s go find the actual Slayer to kill them.” He grabbed your hand and started to pull you back to your car. You pulled away.

“I found them. I kill them.”

“This isn’t ‘finders keepers’ Y/N. This is real and it’s bloody and it's more dangerous than you’re prepared for.” He sounded genuinely scared and for a moment, you felt guilty for being the cause of his fear. But then your usual stubbornness returned.

“I’m not a little girl you have to protect, Spike. I handled myself perfectly well before you showed up and I am perfectly capable of doing it now.”

“Is that right?” The unfamiliar voice made you both freeze, turning around just as the group of vampires descended upon you.

-

“Spike! How thoughtful that you’ve decided to drop in.”

The vampire cronies dragged you into what used to be the living room, stopping in front of the oversized armchair where the vamp you saw earlier sat.

“Atticus. Can’t say how awful it is to see you.” Spike said, looking at the vampire with disdain.

“You know each other?” You whispered. Spike shrugged.

“I may have killed his sister. But only because she deserved it.”

“And you didn’t think to tell me that!”

The smile on Atticus’ face could only be described as theatrically evil. “And you brought me dinner.” There was no holding back your eye roll.

“God, how many cheesy horror flicks have you seen?” You snorted. This was all so much more than you thought it would be-the candles, the dark cloaks. You were half surprised that Mr. Big Bad wasn’t just Bela Lugosi in a costume.

“What did you say?”

“I mean, come on, I was expecting a little black, a little gloom, but this? This is just entertaining.”

“What are you doing?” Spike muttered through his teeth.

“I amuse you, mortal?” Atticus snarled. “Let’s see how much fun you’ll have when I tear your throat out.”

“Oh,” You smirked. “The fun hasn’t started yet.”

You swiftly yanked your arm away from one of the vamps holding you and used it to swing at the other. Spike followed your lead, pulling the two on him together so that their heads collided. You pulled a pair of stakes out of your jacket and threw one to him. Atticus sat through your first two kills, but by the third, he decided to join the party.

The all-out brawl was turning into a slaughter- with you and Spike on the winning side. The Riskels were known for their brutality, not their skills in combat. With Spike taking on three and you facing Atticus, you got cocky. You landed a hit to his mouth full of fangs, but he was able to grab your hair, yanking your head into one of the pillars.

“Everybody stop!” His voice boomed in your ear, making the ringing from your potential concussion even worse. You held back a whimper as the vampire yanked your hair back, leaving your neck open to his drooling fangs.

The fighting around you stopped and one by one, the eyes of every vampire turned to you until Spike finally looked up from the body he had just staked. As it turned to dust at his feet, his gaze locked with yours and his face morphed out of its vampiric state, revealing an expression of panic.

“Come now, Atticus.” He said slowly, nervously. “Let’s not do anything stupid.”

“You know something, Spike? I think it's sad to see a killer like yourself gone soft. A real waste.” he tightened his grip on the back of your neck while his other hand clawed across your cheek, drawing a small scratch of blood. You tried to land a punch to his stomach, but another vampire grabbed your arms from behind.

“I wouldn’t do that,” Spike growled, taking a step forward. Two vamps moved to grab him, but he was quick, kicking one’s legs out from under her and readying a broken table leg over the other’s chest.

Atticus’ claws began to dig into the sides of your neck, piercing deeper and deeper until-

“Spike.” You cried weakly. He froze, allowing the two to grab his arms. Atticus laughed contently, licking a drop of blood from your neck and continuing up to a cut on your cheek.

“I’m going to enjoy ripping you limb from limb.” Spike tried to lunge at him, but the two goons held him back.

“You are going to do exactly as I tell you or I turn her into breakfast.”

“Don’t.” The more you struggled, the more the woman pulled back your arms until you were sure she’d break them.

“Let me guess, gouge my own eyes out? Bite off my tongue? Oh, or my personal favorite- run a railroad spike through my skull? I mean, we might as well stay true to the name.” If it weren’t for the terrified look in his eyes, you might have bought his snarky act.

“I want you to stand by the window and wait until sunrise.” Atticus said coolly.

“Aw, but where’s the fun in that, Attie?”

“For those of us ready to watch you burn… I can’t think of anything better.”

“Spike don’t.” You tried not to scream when Atticus sliced across your collarbone with his nail.

“Alright, I’ll do it.” Spike blurted. “Sick bastard, I’ll do it.” He shoved the other vampires out of his way as he walked up the stairs to a small landing. Behind him, the moon shined brightly through the large window. “Are you happy or would you like me to do a little dance as well?”

“In a few short hours, you will be nothing more than ash in the carpet.”

“That’s all well and good, now let her go.” Spike looked at you and gave you a small smile, mouthing the words ‘It’ll be okay love.’

“I have a better idea.” Atticus shoved you forward. “You see those pales over there, girl? There are ropes in them. Tie him up.”

“I hate to break it to you, Atticus, but you’re gonna have to buy me dinner before getting into the kinky stuff.” You managed to fake a confident smirk. “Come on, Spike, we can take them.” You put your fists up in front of you but wobbled slightly on your feet.

“Y/N, do what he says.” Spike warned, watching the other vampires lick their lips as they closed in. You were bleeding quite a bit now and there were at least a dozen of them left. They would tear you apart.

“He only threatened me because we were winning. We can still-”

“Do what he says!” He yelled, his tone turning desperate. You whirled around to face him. There wasn’t a time you’d seen him this scared. Spike lowered his voice to a pleading whisper. “Please.”

You reluctantly grabbed the drenched ropes from the buckets and dragged them up to the landing. As soon as he touched them, he recoiled his hand away.

“Holy water.” He hissed.

“I won’t do this to you.” You tossed them aside, a chorus of angry growls sounding behind you. “They can kill me first.”

“That’s not going to happen, baby. Please,” he pleaded. “I can take a little pain if it means they’ll let you go.”

You looked at him for a moment, feeling the pain building up in your chest. You would just have to find another way out of this. You grabbed the ropes again and he shed his jacket. Knotting it around the banisters, you took as long as you could, carefully tying and retying the rope to put off what you had to do next.

“I want you to kneel.” Atticus spat and Spike obeyed. Tears slipped down your cheeks as you stood over him.

“I won’t… I can’t…”

“Shh, love,” He cupped your cheek in his hand and brushed away your tears. “I’ll be fine.”

“I’m waiting!” Atticus screamed, followed by vile jeers and mutters from the others. Spike grabbed the rope, wincing as it seared his flesh.

“I can’t do this by myself, baby.” He put it in your hand and you tried to work quickly. He gritted his teeth to keep from screaming, but you still felt his pain almost as if it were your own. He kept telling you it was okay. He’d be okay. Just keep tying the knot. It will be okay.

When you were finished, Atticus forced a reluctant minion to check that the knots would hold. You kept a hand on his cheek, a dozen apologies falling from your lips.

“Bring her here.” Atticus smirked. The vampire grabbed your arm.

“No! Get away from me!”

“Leave her alone!”

“Spike!” The vamp dragged you back down the stairs and Spike pulled against the burning restraints. Atticus grabbed your throat, holding you up so your feet just grazed the floor.

“I can’t quite decide who to kill first.” He chuckled darkly. “Should I tear your throat out now and make loverboy watch or would it be more fun for you to see him burn?”

“I’ll tear you to shreds.” Spike growled, but the hold water’s searing touch kept him back.

“I’d watch your tone, friend.” Atticus pulled you close, taking a deep breath of your scent. “Sunrise is in an hour and I don't know if I can wait that long.”

-

The minutes felt like centuries. While Atticus kept you at his side, you never took your eyes off of Spike. No matter the pain, he kept fighting to get to you. He wouldn’t stop even when you were sure the ropes burned down to the bone. You tried to devise a plan in your head, but everything ended with you getting your head ripped off.

The sunrise was only minutes away and you were totally useless.

“I think I’ve settled on a decision.” Atticus yanked you into his iron grip, forcing your head to the side. “If I drain the blood from your body just as the flames consume his body, neither of you will have to miss a moment of the other’s terrible death.”

“You are one sick dude.” You snarked, trying to mask your fear.

“No… let her… go.” Spike was struggling to speak, his body exhausted from the struggle.

“Think of it this way,” Atticus smiled against your neck. “At least you’ll die together.”

You waited for his fangs to sink it, refusing to close your eyes. You wanted to make sure Spike was the last person you saw.

“I have to say, I was bummed about not getting an invitation, but this party seriously blows.”

Everyone jerked their heads up to the source of the sass. Spike rolled his eyes.

“You had to have your dramatic timing, didn’t you?”

Buffy stepped out of the shadows with her arms open. “Shall we?”

“Kill the Slayer!” Atticus screamed. He jerked your head to the side. “I guess I’ll just have to settle for killing you first.”

“I don’t think so, Dracula.” You exclaimed as Buffy tossed you a stake. You plunged it into Atticus’ chest and watched him turn to dust with a victorious grin.

“Y/N!” A pained scream rang over the sounds of the fight. Other vampires scattered away from the windows and you felt your stomach drop.

“Sunrise.”

You ran as fast as you could back up to where Spike was tied, watching the smoke rising from his back. The sun had just started to peek over the horizon and Spike’s skin began to burn.

“I’m going to get you out of this.” You cried, trying to untie the bonds you made.

He just smiled weakly. “I love you.”

“Don’t.” You said sternly, whipping around to see that most of the gang was there, fighting off the Riskels. “Somebody help!”

Willow ran towards you with a blade to cut the ropes, but the sun was rising quickly. You pressed yourself against Spike’s back, shielding him from the sun and singeing your stomach on his already scorching flesh. You both cried out from the touch. You held onto him until Willow cut him free.

“Get out of here!” Buffy ordered and Spike wasted no time. He carried you on his injured back and ran further up the stairs to the second floor, wincing at every ray of light coming through the boarded-up windows. When he finally found a room without sunlight, he put you down and shut the door.

“What are you doing? I have to help them!” You screamed, trying to push around him.

“I think we’ve had our fun d-darling.” He stammered before collapsing in front of you. You tried your best to hold him, sinking to your knees and wrapping your arms around him.

“No no no, don’t do this. Baby, stay with me.” You sobbed, trying not to touch the awful burns on his back. “Somebody help! Buffy! Anybody! Help!”

You heard the fight echoing through the house’s abandoned halls and felt the guilt sink into you.

-

You sat across from each other without saying a word. The house was sweltering in the summer heat, making the tension in the room even worse. Willow was upstairs with Spike and the rest of the gang had left on Buffy’s request. She wanted to talk to you alone.

“Buffy-”

“Tell me this was Spike’s idea.” She stared you down intensely, making you shrink back in your seat. “Y/N, tell me you didn’t come here to fight these vampires alone.”

“I didn’t know there would be so many of them.” You muttered, your voice cracking as tears poured down your cheeks.

“How could you be so stupid!” She screamed, standing up. “After I told you that patrolling was too dangerous for you, you decided to take on an entire nest of vampires?!”

“I thought I could handle it. We were so close to winning, I-” You ran a hand down your face. “I thought I could beat them.”

“Well it wasn’t just your life you put on the line this time, was it?” She spat, pointing an accusing finger at the stairs. “You could have died today. Spike could die because of your stupid, stupid pride!”

“Don’t you think I know that?” You cried, standing up to meet her gaze. “Don’t you think I wish it was me up there instead of him?” You lifted up your shirt to show the marks you’d gotten from being pressed against his back. “Guilt is all I can feel. My chest feels like i-it’s breaking open from all of it. God, I can’t breathe Buffy. If he dies... I… I can’t….” You couldn't get any words past your sobs.

Buffy’s face softened and she pulled you into her arms, tightly locking them around you. You cried into her shoulder as she stroked your hair, her voice now firm, but soothing.

“He isn’t going to die. Willow's taking care of him. Y/N, he’s going to be okay.”

“This is all my fault, Buffy. I’m so so sorry. This is all my fault.”

“I’m not the one you need to apologize to.” She pulled away and her eyes went to the stairs. Willow was standing there with a blood-soaked towel in her hand.

You didn’t wait for her to speak. You ran past her, taking the stairs two at a time despite your still throbbing head. You burst into the room to find Spike sitting up, waiting for you.

“Oh thank god.” You cried, taking his face in your hands and kissing his cheek, his forehead, his nose, and finally his lips. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”

“Don’t tell me those tears are for me.” He laughed weakly, lifting a hand to caress your cheek.

“All of this is my fault. God, I’ve been so stupid…”

He wrapped an arm around you, tucking your head under his chin. “I don’t know, love, I saw some pretty wicked moves when you were fighting those bastards.”

You sniffed, pulling away. “I almost got you killed today. If it wasn’t for me, you’d still be at that stupid movie.”

Spike gave you a small smile and moved a strand of blood-matted hair out of your face. “I’d follow you through hellfire, darling.” He gently pulled you back to him and you both stayed like that until you fell asleep, finally comfortable in the summer heat.
