BUFFY: How did you know my name? ANGEL: I waited. I waited here for you. But you never... I was supposed to help you. BUFFY: (huffs) You were gonna help me. ANGEL: (weakly) The Master rose. He let me live... to punish me. I kept hoping maybe you'd come. My destiny. BUFFY: (huffs) Is this a get-in-my-pants thing? You guys in Sunnydale talk like I'm the Second Coming.

Chapter Summary: Liam gets rewarded for good behavior, and an offer he wouldn't dream of refusing.

Series Summary: Liam Devlin, hardworking investor and businessman, receives an unexpected awakening in the form of William Pratt, the unassuming bookstore owner he met online.

A/N: I regret nothing. 😅 More smut to come!

Squares Filled: orgasm control ( @kinky-things-happen ), public play ( @mfbingo )

Liam moaned into the kiss, the erection he had nearly managed to defeat surging back to raging at Will’s forceful urgency. William's tongue brushed across his bottom lip, a silent command for entry, and Liam obeyed. His hands rose to rest on Will's waist, clutching at the fabric of his vest as he fought the urge to pull the slim body against him. Giving up full control of the kiss, he allowed the blonde his exploration as his tongue delved into his mouth, whiskey and sugar lingering on the taste of him. 

William groaned at Liam's obedience as he deepened their kiss, his cock throbbing as he got his first taste of the brunette, sweet and sharp and his. Liam moaned again, and William pressed closer, hips bucking forward to thrust against his matching hardness. As he worked at kissing Liam breathless, he slid his hand over his chest, growling softly at the muscles he could feel hidden beneath the soft cotton. He scratched a nail over one pert nipple, drawing a gasp and a surprised whimper from the taller man as he arched into the touch. Will smirked against Liam’s lips and broke the kiss as his hand moved further down, over the hidden abs and down to the edge of his jeans. 

Meeting Liam’s darkened gaze, he worked his belt open with one hand, the other sliding around the back of his neck to twine his fingers into the shorter strands there, tugging lightly, testing. At the first tug, Liam’s eyelids fluttered, a short moan of pleasure assuring William of what he suspected. 

“You’re full of surprises, aren’t you, pet? Like a bit of pain in your pleasure, do ya?” 

Liam simply groaned in response, his hands clenching tighter at Will’s sides. Popping the button on Liam’s jeans, William slid his hand past the waistband of his boxers to tease over the hard length tenting the fabric. His own cock twitched in response as he wrapped his fingers around the sizable girth, a twinge of envy striking through him at the thought of all of the submissives who’d felt it stretching them open. Liam moaned loudly and bucked up into the grip of his fist, his head arching back against the brick wall in attempts to push himself closer to Will. 

“Bloody hell, you’re just big all over, ain’t you, Liam?” William dipped his head down to bite lightly at Liam’s neck as he began to stroke the thick shaft, his thumb brushing over the slick head and swirling a drop of pre-cum around to ease the way back down the length of it. Licking and nipping his way up Liam’s neck, he bit teasingly at his earlobe, grinning at the shaky gasp Liam let out. “Gonna have to make this quick, pet. Place’ll be closin’ up shop soon, and all those lovely people will be making their way out to their cars. Anyone of ‘em could come ‘round this corner, see you, all needy and moaning, gettin’ wanked off like this. Someone could drive past, shine those bright headlights right on us, see how pretty you look with my hand ‘round your cock, givin’ yourself over to me.”

Liam’s cock twitched hard in William’s hand, a loud moan of arousal filling his ears as he urged the brunette closer to orgasm. 

“Like that, do you? The thought of being caught out like this? Seems like someone’s rethinking their stance on public performances, eh?” William tugged Liam’s hair, tilting his head to the side and capturing his mouth for another quick, rough kiss, his teeth scraping over his bottom lip as he pulled away. “Christ, I’d love to take you out one night, show you off to everyone; you gonna let me do that sometime? Answer me, pet.”

“Yes, oh, God, yeah. Anything you want…Sir.”.

William groaned and sped his hand over Liam’s cock, tempted to slow down and draw the handjob out, but not wanting to risk having the cops called on them if someone really did pass by. That would definitely put a damper on his plans, and might be enough to make Liam rethink the whole thing altogether. 

“Fuck, good initiative, pet. But no need for titles, yet. We’ll go over all that later, Liam. Just be a good boy and give yourself up to me.” Liam let out another moan and Will felt a spurt of pre-cum coat his fingers as he pumped his fist along the throbbing shaft. Liam's eyes screwed shut and William let go of his hair, his hand dragging back down to scrape over a taut nipple, his lips so close to the brunette's he could feel his panting breaths fanning over them. “You gonna cum for me, pet? C’mon, Liam, wanna see you dirty these fancy silk boxers all up. Shite, luv, wanna see you let go, come on, pet, cum for me."

"Oh, Jesus, Will!" 

Liam shuddered and his head dropped onto William's shoulder, his face buried in the curve of his neck, muffling the loud, drawn out moan of pleasure as his climax surged through him. His cock pulsed in Will’s hand as the blonde stroked him through it, powerful spurts of cum soaking his boxers, and dripping down his shaft to coat William’s hand as his orgasm tapered out. Working the brunette through his release, William wrapped his free arm around Liam’s back, supporting his larger frame as he slumped against him, hips thrusting erratically, out of sync with the pumping of Will’s fist along his slowly softening shaft. 

As Liam’s hips stilled, he let out a whimper of loss as William pulled his hand out of his jeans. His body still trembled with the after-effects of the intense orgasm, and Will slid his hand under his shirt, rubbing his back soothingly until he recovered enough to straighten up. 

When Liam pulled away enough to lean back against the wall, he met William's gaze, eyes widened in amazement. Will raised his hand to his mouth and Liam watched as that wet, pink tongue flicked out to lap across his cum-slick palm.

"Tastes like bloody peaches, luv." Liam huffed out a broken moan, and when Will pressed a finger to his lips, he unthinkingly parted them, his tongue laving over the sticky digit, licking away the taste of himself. "Christ, pet…you're bloody perfect, you are. That last second, before you came, so beautiful…like an angel. My perfect, fallen, Angel."

William groaned as Liam let out a soft growl of pleasure at the praise and pulled his hand away, wiping it off briskly on the bricks before pulling Liam to him for another deep kiss. His own cock was achingly hard in his jeans, threatening to blow at the merest touch, so he forced himself to break the kiss after a few short seconds. He hurriedly buckled Liam's belt and grabbed his hand, tugging him back out of the shadows towards the parking lot. 

"Will, wait!" Liam stopped him before they rounded the corner, a confused look in his lust-glazed eyes. He looked pointedly down at William's bulging crotch and raised a questioning brow. "What about you?"

"Not now, pet. That was a reward for good behavior, rewards don't need turnabout."

With that, William turned back around and hurried across the parking lot, Liam in tow. Reaching the Viper, Will dropped Liam's hand, giving him a serious look.

"We've three options here, depending on how slow or fast you wanna take this, pet. We can go our separate ways for the night, and I take care of this", Will cupped himself for emphasis, "all on me own, no harm, no foul. Option two, you get in your car and follow me home, stay the night, and we see what other fun we can get up to. Or, option three, you get in your car, and I follow you home, and we see what other fun we can get up to. That is, unless you wanna call this off, full-stop?"

"God, no! What just happened, back there," Liam cocked his head back towards the coffee shop, "I have never cum that hard before. And from just a handjob? Hell, I can't even remember the last time I had a handjob from someone. There's no way I want to stop this here. How soon can we be at your place?"

William flashed Liam a wicked smile and unlocked his car door.

"Twenty minutes, tops. Oh, an', I've a bit of a lead foot, so try to keep up, pet. If you fall behind, I'll start up a tally for your first punishment, and it's five for every minute I have to wait."

Liam felt his cock stir back to life at the promise behind the warning.

"Five what?"

"That's for you to find out the hard way."

As William opened his door and slid into the driver's seat, Liam rolled his eyes with a chuckle and began to walk off towards his own car. As he followed the Viper out of the parking lot, he was still contemplating whether he wanted to find out the hard way just yet.

spoilers for #26 of Boom! verse Buffy

IN MEDIA RES!!! While I have done this in my own writing before and like using it, having #26 basically talking about the multiverse reveal in #25 while not showing any more of it is...incredibly annoying. I suspect Jeremy is holding it back for later issues, but ugh, I hate being Zeppoe-d like this, even though I ultimately enjoyed the issue.

things I liked without reservation:

Kendra and Faith becoming work friends and bonding over what a Slayer is supposed to do - ie, slay vampires, not get warm fuzzy feelings about them even though one of them is your former best friend. So the fallout of Faith staking Xander is still there, which is good.

Faith is trying not to let Buffy and Willow's weirdness about it get to her, but that's a stone that's just dying to be kicked over.

Kendra, Rose, and the little demon guy they've named Growly, watching TV (a ritual! with Giles!) at Giles's and Kendra's place. I love simple domestic quiet things, and the way the artist draws them - so literally soft. Patterned socks! Slayer and Normal (as far as we know) girlfriends. It can be done!

Giles being Giles and telling them he'll catch up on their show later.

And the quiet adult breakdown outside.

MOM AND DAD TIME - aka Anya messing/flirting with Giles, and him going no no no do not want, don't you understand I am VERY FRAGILE OVER THE END OF MY LAST RELATIONSHIP in a very restrained Giles manner and Anya just trolling him. Bliss. And aw, Anya saved him/them again.

Do I trust Anya? Hell no. I still think she is being the very omission of truth about what she's telling Morgan and the others.

Faith and Robin being propositioned for taking over for Giles and Buffy by the Mayor (I was expecting this but it's still a nice twist. Feels emotionally earned, you know?)

CORDELIA. WORKING FOR THE MAYOR AS A CLERK/ASSISTANT. FINALLY, a way to get her back into the narrative *and* she knows the potential trap Faith and Robin are walking into.

Ugh, Wesley really has learned nothing. This coup is not going to go his way.

things I'm kind of indifferent about:

Morgan being sequestered in one of Anya's pocket warehouses/universes biding her time. I like her as an original character a lot, but again - when you have too many characters, some are just going to be left out. Now we know her back story and why she killed those Watchers, it feels like Jeremy's phasing her out.

Only to bring in a new Vague Big No, We Promise, An EVEN BIGGER BADDEST BAD named Silas.

Like having the Mayor and Watcher Council team-up wasn't impressive enough?

Anyway, I don't care about Silas or his summoning of lurking demon dogs.

things I don't like:

Buffy and Willow breaking up, making up, and discovering they need each other. Again. I'm a bit frustrated - their relationship is a very important one from the OG Canon, but as later seasons proved, not one without enormous flaws due to characters growing up and lack of communication and biased writing - and I feel like Jeremy just doesn't know what to do with them besides having them fall out every other issue and then making up tearfully promising to be BFF.

Because the comics have established that Willow's platonic soulmate is Xander and that she's the love of his life, their relationship is going to be weighted differently than hers to Buffy. They've had a terrible loss, but because Xander is so formative to Willow's life (childhood besties!), his loss is going to hit her harder than it will with Buffy, understandably. So there's going to be a lot of trauma (you can't get away from it in any iteration of the Buffyverse) and I get the character beats Jordie and Jeremy laid down for Willow re: that. I loved the Willow miniseries as just some time to hang out with Willow without the Sunnydale drama.

But as the issues go on - there's a crack that started with his death that has created a schism with Buffy and Willow. I hesitate to call them best friends really, they're just close work colleagues to me - because all the high school stuff has faded into the background now.

But it feels like whenever they argue (both of them lashing out about the choices the other one made/didn't make) the reconciliation feels hollow afterward. Willow's blamed Buffy either indirectly/directly about Xander's death and bringing all this drama to her life more than once now, and Buffy just takes it.

And the story from Buffy's side is that she's suffering from PTSD from Hellmouth, seeing her other self die, and a will they won't they (firmly won't now) escapist relationship with Robin (the writers decided all the seesawing drama of Buffy's romantic relationships would be transplanted into her relationship with Willow I see), but she doesn't address what Willow (both regular and Darque flavor) says to her. She's just focused on slaying and trying to keep ahead of the council but I think I would have loved to see what she saw in Multiverse just so she could witness a better friendship with Willow.

I've been waiting for an issue where they really focus on Buffy and her problems not just solely tied into Slaying - a couple of panels in the last few issues were good, but for her eponymous line, Buffy is oddly missing from her own narrative. I like that the comics are giving underwritten/overshadowed characters their time in the sun and going more ensemble-like, but I miss Buffy. She's my emotional support character! She's my girl. I just think they could do more with her.

thing I'm cautiously embracing:

Embodied Ethan (from the OG timeline) getting stranded in the World WIthout Shrimp timeline and being possessed by his ghost. What even - how - it's going to be wild.

[theyarebothgunshot]

nonnie you get a time out!!! do NOT further spoil buffyverse for our dear friend regardingjenmish or i will have to get very angry!!! (but i will forgive you this time cause it was a mistake shdfhsf)

I hope Bedlund gets to do some writing for the Winchesters, even though I'm kind of on the fence about it, reasons in that I'm not sure if I'm really bothered to watch it in the sense that I feel like I've kind of moved on from spn, but not in the sense that I don't follow the actors, it's just the only reason I came back to the fandom is because the show ended (yes yes I'm one of those November 20th people), I still want him to write some episodes mainly because I really enjoy his episodes from Angel to SPN episodes - yeah those are the two I've seen from his writing but they're also the major ones, the other series he's done maybe one or two episodes (there's one called revolution where he wrote 5 episodes). Anyway case and point, I hope he gets to write some the Winchesters episodes regardless if I end up watching or not.

Ok so idk about you but I think it’s because I saw spn first but I seem to always think about spn lore and how they can incorporate it in btvs like in the puppet episode I’m like they should salt and burn it (I’m watching it now) - buffy anon

Omg sorry I’ve been sending you so many anons I got you mixed up with theyarebothgunshot

Okay so I don’t know of these three messages go together but they mention Angel and Buffy so I’m just going to put them together. Anyway @theyarebothgunshot come get your anons hdjsksjaka

Part Five - Parental Guidance Advised

Theo Frey, the slayer of slayers, was now a vampire, a vampire unlike any other before him, one that sired themselves, and along with his new undead status, he found his slayer strength, speed, and healing, was now matched with his vampire side making him even more powerful than ever before, all working towards Drusilla’s grand plans which were created after she had a vision of the vampire/slayer hybrid bringing about the end of days.

Drusilla and Theo traveled to the outskirts of New York, in the middle of nowhere, located deep within some woods, arriving at an abandoned asylum which Drusilla had claimed to be her home for many years now, the first place she took Theo after his parents died, the place in which Theo first met the love of his life, Tobias. “The future is a funny little thing not once did I see the death of my darling Tobias in any vision and now it’s the first and last thing, I see every day.” Drusilla sadly revealed to Theo, as the two walked down a hallway within the abandoned asylum late at night. “Well, it would have been good to get a whole heads up about becoming a vamp myself before it actually happened, but I guess I was not on a need-to-know basis with that one.” Theo slyly snapped at his fellow vampire. “It was you and Tobias who chose to go off on your own create your own paths and become number one targets for all slayers,” Drusilla replied. “Everything was meant to happen the way it was for you to become the best version of yourself, a version strong enough to kill your birth mother.” “Did Tobias always know? That I’d one day become a vampire?” Theo could not help but wonder, as he began to wonder whether falling for Tobias was all just a part of Drusilla’s plans. “No, he did not…you two were truly destined to love each other it is with great sadness that your love story with my beautiful Tobias has come to an end but sadly it does not surprise me either,” Drusilla revealed to him, before going on to say. “Buffy will stop at nothing to slay us all, yet where was she to slay the monsters who took the ones that raised you?” “Buffy and Angel will pay for abandoning me in fact I am already putting a plan into action for them both but let me make myself clear when I say I will not be waiting as long to take revenge for Tobias,” Theo promised her, much to Drusilla’s delight. “Now why do I still feel the same?” “Well, another little hitch has occurred it seems you still have your soul,” Drusilla answered him, both looking as shocked as the other. “I do not know why that pesky thing is still in place, but I am not worried about it, some of the biggest monsters in the world still have souls after all…now please do tell mummy what you have planned for other mummy and naughty daddy?”

After being M.I.A from the slayer world as well as her friends, loved ones, and all real-world connections, Buffy Summers had taken to a cabin in the woods, in the middle of nowhere, the perfect place to get lost and forget about the rest of the world, and for one whole year she had uninterrupted bliss as she attempted to get over the loss of her son, but as she sat on the steps of her cabin porch and felt a sudden change in the wind nearby, she knew her perfect isolation was about to be intruded and after a blast of lightning struck the nearby grounds it became abundantly clear that her best friend Willow had found her. “I told you not to come looking for me I told you when I was ready, I’d come looking for you,” Buffy told the red-headed witch after Willow appeared from out of the ripped air that the lightning strike had just caused. “But it is good to see you again Willow…I’ve missed you.” “We found him, Buffy…” Willow said with great sadness, knowing the story she was about to tell her friend would only cause her more hurt but also knowing she had to be the one who Buffy found out from. Willow sat Buffy back down on the porch, sitting next to her, and went on to tell her everything she knew about Buffy’s son Theo, the revelation that he was somehow a slayer like his mother, that he was seeing a vampire just like his mother, but that was where the similarities ended as she went on to talk about Theo hunting other slayers before being captured and possibly killed by Buffy’s former watcher Rupert Giles in self-defense. Willow made it clear that they had no idea who he was until it was too late, that despite not knowing who he was they fought hard for his redemption, and how she believed that despite it being unlikely, that Theo Frey had somehow survived and was still out there somewhere. She hugged Buffy as she cried, listened while she shouted, advised her while she tried to make sense of it all, and stayed with the blonde-haired slayer until she was ready to act towards the shocking revelations. “He’s been hiding in plain sight this whole time, living a life before our very eyes…god knows what he has been through, what I was not there to protect him from.” Buffy cried as she tried to come to terms with the news about her now fully grown son who was just born over a year ago. “And now he could be gone again…” “I have several covens working on locating him, Faith’s headed to Los Angeles to speak to Angel about it all and get him involved in finding him too,” Willow confessed to the slayer, trying to give her some positive news. “We are going to find him; I know he is still out there I just know it!” “Oh god, we told him his son was dead and now he might actually be.” Buffy realized as she felt the weight of lying to Angel for all this time.

Angel sat behind the desk in his office within the Hyperion Hotel looking through the books he had gathered through the years as he searched for information on the latest demon he and Illyria were hunting when he was surprised to hear the front door to the Hyperion Hotel being opened thanks to his advanced vampire hearing and so he rose out of his chair, grabbed a hold of a nearby knife and walked into the main foyer of the hotel where he was shocked to find Faith stood there waiting for him. “You can drop the weapon big man it's only little old me.” Faith said to the vampire with a soul, before the two walked into his office, as the slayer slowly began to prepare herself for telling Angel the truth, fearing it would change their friendship forever. “Thought you were held up at slayer rehab trying to mend the boy slayer’s broken ways,” Angel replied as he placed his knife back onto his desk table. “Do not tell me he’s already redeemed and ready to be put back into society.” “Far from it actually,” Faith answered nervously. “The thing about Theo is, well he kind of, sort of, turns out to be your long lost son, the miracle child you had with Buffy who we kind of told you was dead…there is no better way to say this than we kind of lost him through a portal last year and told you he died because well Connor…but he’s back all grown up just like Connor and sort of evil again like Connor.” “You guys told me he was dead, you told me he was dead!” Angel snapped at the one slayer he believed would never keep something from him, especially not something like this. “I help you capture him, we could have killed him, and all this time he was my son? How that hell is that even possible?” “Well, the good news is he wound up in the past and not a hell dimension.” Faith told the vampire reluctantly, feeling his fury over the lies that she helped tell, even if she believed it was for his best. “None of this is good Faith! You lied to me! You, Buffy, and Willow told me he died! I mourned the loss of my baby son, I blamed myself for not being enough to protect him, I blamed her.” Angel shouted in disbelief, infuriated to learn his son had been alive all this time. “Where is he now? Where is Theo?” “Okay do not get all murder and Angelus like on me but Giles sort of shot him multiple times then he swan dived out of a window into deep waters but hey on the plus side Willow is pretty sure he’s still alive…” Faith quickly responded, making sure she gave him all the information needed as she wished for this conversation, and for her friend’s anger, to come to an end, despite knowing this was only the beginning.

The several covens working on finding a location for Theo Frey through magical means had finally got some results, questionable results, as they informed Willow that the male slayer was in his hometown of Riverborn, of all places, Theo had headed home, and despite the gut feeling that this was most definitely some kind of trap, Willow revealed her covens’ findings to Buffy and the two best friends quickly headed for the Californian small town located rather close to their own hometown of Sunnydale, or where Sunnydale once stood. “This place is giving me all the wrong kind of Sunnydale vibes which only serves to convince me even further that we are walking straight into a trap,” Willow told her blonde-haired friend, as she and Buffy walked the streets of Riverborn, late at night, in search of the Frey family home, where Buffy’s son once lived. “I do not care if he wants to trap me or not the point is he wants us there which is a step in the right direction for me,” Buffy admitted to her, as the two stopped outside of an abandoned home, the tell-tale signs of its boarded windows, and the decaying build revealing it to be the former family home of Theo and his adoptive parents. “I hope this was a happy home to grow up in…I hope his life has not all been as twisted as the recent years we know about.” “Well, if it was not, it is not like I could have done anything, you know with the whole fact that I thought my son was dead this entire time.” Angel snapped at Buffy, appearing from behind the slayer and witch. “Angel…I can’t begin to apologize for everything I’ve put you through, that I forced Willow and Faith to put you through, so I’m not going to, not yet anyway.” Buffy told the vampire with which she shared a child, as his eyes never left the view of their son’s former home. Willow quickly informed Angel of the plan which she and Buffy had made while on their way to Riverborn, hoping to avoid as much awkwardness between the two as possible, as she revealed she would wait outside ready to cast any spells needed if Theo had not come alone so that the two could focus on trying to get through to their son, and after a few minutes of talking things through it was time to put their plans into action.

As Buffy and Angel walked through the front door of Theo’s family home and into the living room he once shared with his adoptive parents it became abundantly clear, by the photos in frames placed above a cozy fireplace, that the people who had raised their son truly loved him like he was their own, and for a brief moment, they found comfort in that knowledge, until their minds began to wonder what happened to them for this once loving home to become so empty and for their son to go down such a wicked path. “All I wanted for him was a normal life, a normal home, and to be safe,” Buffy told Angel as tears formed in her eyes, while the slayer and vampire moved into the kitchen where they found a sinister-looking Theo gleefully awaiting their arrival as he held a crossbow in his hands ready to fire at any given moment. “Before or after the monsters that you were supposed to slay took everything away from me.” Theo sarcastically replied to his mother, finally meeting her for the first time after all these years. “The blood-stained carpet in the living room is where I found my mother on my sixteenth birthday…oh the irony, and here is where I found my father.” “Theo I am so sorry!” Buffy cried, seeing nothing but hatred for her in her son’s eyes, beautiful eyes which he had gotten from Buffy’s mother, with his facial structure very much like Angel’s. “You seem different!” Angel stated to his son, realizing something had changed within him since the last time they met when he did not know Theo was his son. “So, the cat is clearly out of the bag about who I really am. That’s good it’s going to make this so much more enjoyable!” Theo declared revealing to them both that he knew exactly who they were and that he hated them more than anything else on this planet. “Theo, you have got to know I had no idea that you were even alive. I’d have stopped at nothing to find you otherwise.” Angel promised his son, hoping to explain his absence to Theo, that he was not to blame for not being in his life. “I thought I had lost you forever I had no clue where you wound up…I should’ve looked for you, but I hoped you were better off without me.” Buffy confessed as Theo kept the crossbow firmly pointing at both of his biological parents, seeming untouched by their words. “I do not want answers, you idiots.” Theo scoffed at them both. “Answers are what some lost boy looks for as he longs to be found but I’m no lost boy and I found myself a very long time ago. All I want is revenge!” Theo did not wait for either Buffy or Angel to reply before shooting two arrows in their direction, arrows which Angel managed to catch, one in each hand, before it made any damage towards him or Buffy as Theo quickly scurried out of the kitchen ready to play a game of hide and seek, a game he intended to not only win but to use as another trap for the two people he blamed for everything wrong in his life.

Angel took to the upstairs of Theo’s family home while Buffy went down to the basement, figuring if they took both options to where their son could have run to, then he would not be able to get away so easily, and as Angel reached the upstairs hallway, he found himself walking into Theo’s bedroom which looked like it had been kept the same way since he was last in it. Angel scoured the room where he found shelves filled with books, a desk filled with awards, and a picture by Theo’s bed of himself and a friend, which he did not know at the time was Ruby Moon, and as he continued to look around his son’s room he realized Theo once lived a happy life in this home, which is exactly why they were brought here because Theo blamed them for his happy life coming to an end. Although Angel’s search led to nowhere, Buffy’s search was going much better as she reached the bottom of the basement stairs to see Theo stood there, having ditched his crossbow, for a shiny blade. “I was hoping you’d be the one to find me first, mother and son, slayer versus slayer, you’re going to be my biggest kill.” Theo boasted to a horrified Buffy who was left unnerved by her son’s desire to kill her. “I do not want to fight you, Theo, you are my son and I love you,” Buffy replied cautiously, fearing she would have no choice but to go head-to-head with her own son. “I’m a vampire just like daddy now, did I forget to mention that? So, if you think you’re going to win against me then I have to tell you I’m a lot stronger than when I went up against your friends.” Theo confessed to a stunned Buffy, who realized her son had died before she even got a chance to meet him and at the hands of Giles, nonetheless. “You’re dead?” Buffy answered in complete shock, blaming herself for her son’s doomed fate. “But you still have a soul…” Angel announced as he appeared at the top of the basement stairs and began walking down towards Buffy and Theo. “I don’t know how it’s possible, how you are a vampire, and yet somehow you are still you but the fact that you’ve kept your soul is very much evidence that you are not as evil as you want us to believe.” “Or maybe my soul is so damned the devil himself does not want it?” Theo replied to his father, eager to debunk Angel’s theory about him. “I am the first vampire in history to ever sire himself I guess that means the rules are different for me and although there are two of you, I like my odds considering I am both vampire and slayer.” “I am not going to fight you!” Buffy repeated herself, refusing to lay hands on her son. “I will,” Angel stated before going on to say. “If I have to beat the good back into you then I will.” Theo charged towards Angel swinging his blade multiple times in his direction, Angel managing to avoid being cut before knocking the blade out of Theo’s hands leading to the two vampires going head-to-head in a brutal and bloody fight. Angel managed to hold his own against his son Theo for some time, but it was not long before Theo began to get the better of his father but not because of his new undead status but rather because Angel was holding back, and Buffy could see that, so as Theo threw his biological father to the floor Buffy rushed across the basement floor and picked up Theo’s knife. “Stop it now!” Buffy shouted at her son as she placed the knife against her son. “If you are so damned determined to kill your parents then start with me. “Buffy…” Angel muttered before being knocked out by a killer right hook punch by Theo, who left his father unconscious on the ground as he began to walk over towards his mother. “Do not think that I will not kill you right here right now!” Theo told Buffy as he placed his own hands on the blade pressed against Buffy’s chest. “Then do it! If it is going to make you happy then do it!” Buffy pleaded with her son as tears began to form in her eyes. “All I have ever wanted is your happiness…” Theo pushed the blade into Buffy’s chest ever so slightly, just enough force so she could feel the blade but not enough force to break the skin, and he stood there with a knife

to his mother’s chest for what felt like forever to Buffy but in likelihood was less than a minute, before Theo threw the blade to the ground, unable to kill his own mother. “I do not remember what happy feels like anymore,” Theo admitted honestly, his words making Buffy realize how truly broken he was, much to her own horror, and as he began walking up the stairs leaving both Buffy and Angel in the basement, Buffy could not help but feel responsible for her son’s fate, vowing to save him from himself even if it did lead to her own death.

i don’t think anybody has talked about this in depth wrt the boom comics, and after the latest issue i think i really want to, because as a biracial person it means a whole lot to me. there aren’t a lot of interracial m/f relationships at ALL in media, and the fact that buffy/robin has been a clear and prominent part of the reboot for the last TWO YEARS is so significant and important to me. no matter where their relationship goes (and i’m of the mind that it’s not gonna last, but really only because buffy isn’t in a condition to date ANYBODY right now), treating a black boy as a viable romantic interest to someone with as much cultural significance as buffy summers is such a hugely revolutionary thing. i think a reboot is an opportunity to explore something new, and buffy/robin in canon was barely touched upon. 

part of this is also coming up because i feel like hoping for buffy to get a girlfriend in the reboot comics/waiting around for faith to sweep her off her feet is ... super ignoring how white the buffyverse is. and it’s also often EXTREMELY frustrating for me as a person of color to constantly watch white f/f ships get a whole bunch of attention while interracial m/f ships get totally slept on. (which is yet another reason why i love kendra and rose! look at those interracial lesbians!!!) if buffy/robin isn’t your cup of tea then that’s fine, but i still think it’s super important to acknowledge the progress that the two of them represent: robin is an important part of the reboot comics, and his relationship with buffy isn’t being trivialized or treated like a stepping stone before she matures enough for angel/spike/faith/whoever else. (at least, i HOPE not.)

i’m honestly hoping that buffy and robin will stick around! they’re cute, they like each other, and they’ve both got really interesting relationships to supernatural destiny -- plus the slayer/council dynamic is such an interesting angle to explore a romantic relationship from. i don’t necessarily know if they’ll be together forever, but i do think they have a really important friendship and connection, and i like that this is a canon that treats their romance with respect.

So whenever I scroll through tumblr I think my thoughts and even think about posting but never do. So this time I have recorded all the thoughts I thunk and here they are for you:

This meme is too earnest

I’m tired of Good Omens

Good meme. I should reblog. Oops I scrolled

That’s brilliant but Apu was racist

Would Cordy be in my top ten Buffyverse characters?

Who is that supposed to be?

Why is David Rose’s face so good? It’s so good.

Okay everything you just said is really fucking creepy.

Wow Supernatural is still on and people still care.

Okay but is this backlash you’re backlashing against really a big enough backlash to support a full on backlash backlash? How bout you just chill

I know I’m supposed to like the Good Place

You just told yourself this story to make yourself feel good and it’s supposed to be sweet and clever and well timed but instead I think you’re trite and self-congratulatory and why am I like this? No really, why am I like this?

pretty

There is no new Star Trek only old Star Trek

OK I do agree that Scotland is cool

This is GENUINELY funny. I am ACTUALLY going to reblog. Oops I scrolled

This sounds cool but I’m not reading I don’t want to get spoiled

this is horrifying

Stop telling people to read books like it’s better or more useful than communicating or creating or consuming media in other ways. Books are just books it’s stories that are sacred

what is that dog DOING

WHY IS THIS POST SO LONG? Why do you do this? have you no DECENCY? Were you born in tumblr??? I was born in livejournal when people had the good manners to LJ-CUT. I am old! hear me roar and so on. I go on like this for the entire scroll, mutter mutter mutter

Candle-smelling is a whole entire hobby. I’m going to include it next time I have to write my interests.

I don’t get it 

That would never happen

Dude, stop judging people who like A. And people who like A, stop judging people who like B. Everyone should stop judging, I say, in my judgiest voice. I obviously need to scroll.

lolz

Wait is the end of the video? I thought there would be more

Oops the Joe they’re talking about is not Joe Biden. That makes this entire post read quite differently.

Why can’t every show have Benton Fraser?

wow I’m hungry

But why would you do that?

That is SO true

Stop telling people they have to comment on fics and let everyone do what they want. Also stop telling them any comment is better than no comment because if you’ve received shitty comments you know that’s definitely not true. Just let people do what they enjoy in a way they enjoy you’re not the fandom police I hate this

I need to stop tumblr now

Oh look David Rose

this is for my buffynatural peeps but i was just rewatching angel 5x2 and it dawned on me that in the flashback to spike's death, they fully erased buffy's love confession to him........... which could mean nothing.

[theyarebothgunshot]

Very sad for The Winchesters cast but at least we're one step closer to cutting off from The CW.

Rose I missed you so much!! Big life change happened but I'm back here and I wanted to tell you recently I've felt big need for the Buffy rewatch (my Spuffy feelings came back with the force) - tea anon

ahhh i missed you too!! please let me know about all the changes if you want <3 and also your thoughts during your rewatch cause you know i live for that kind of thing!!

[theyarebothgunshot]

I need your opinion, what are your thoughts on once more with feeling? In one way there’s some catchy songs but in another it’s a bit cringe. Essentially my reaction a Dean to what he thought of the supernatural musical?? - buffy anon

personally i really really love it, and i do not think it's cringe at all. it's the best musical episode put there, imo

[theyarebothgunshot]

As much as "Doublemeat Palace" was a weird as hell episode, its Spuffy drive me insane - tea anon

paralleled to spn 9x6 it really does drive me insane too
