Categories: Season 5
Characters: Buffy, Ensemble, Spike, William
Summary:
I'd like to see a story that takes place during season five where Spike finds a powerful artifact or makes a deal in order to protect Dawn that results in his 'death'.
But what actually happens is that his essence is sent to the past so that he is born 18 years or more earlier.
It's up to the author whether or not Spike knows ahead of time that death is the price for that protection.
Would love it if Spike grew up as a demon or a witch so that so that he would already be familiar with the supernatural elements in Sunnydale and could handle himself in a fight.
Would love it if Buffy had to convince him to help them with Glory. (optional)
Would love it if Buffy was the one to pursue him and he was the one reluctant to start a relationship with her for whatever reason (she's human, the Slayer, etc.)
Whether or not Spike eventually regains his memories is up to the author.
