Characters: Buffy, Drusilla, Ensemble, Spike, William
Summary:

What if Spike/William had been a Watcher when he was alive? What if his whole family had been Watchers?

Did he train/guide any Slayers before Drusilla turned him? If so, what happened to them (he must not kill his charge after being turned, if he still has one)? How does this new backstory change the vampire he becomes? And how does it affect his relationship with Buffy?



Summary: A response to a challenge by Mia Vaan. Born into a family of Watchers, William Pratt manages to earn the Council's trust and respect shortly after he graduates from the Academy. But everything changes the night he meets a mysterious woman in black, finding himself torn between a lust for blood and what remains of his humanity. Over the years, he reinvents himself, but goes on to lead a rather solitary existence until a run-in with an old friend alerts him to a slayer in Sunnydale who could use his help.
