I keep having the strangest dream. Every night it's the same thing: a dark room, a big bed, and a silent vampire that I can feel, but not see. I'd be wigged, except it's just a dream, right? It'll be a cold day in hell before I ever willingly sleep with a vampire again...

When he was a wee laddie, Rupert Giles found himself in a bit o' trouble. Come on, we all know 10 year-old Giles would've been a little hellion. Spike, who's around because he's hunting the slayer Giles's grandmother is assigned to is impressed by Giles's swaggering bravado and helps him out. In doing so he dubs Giles Lil' Ripper. A much more fitting name than nancy boy Rupert.
So begins an on-and-off, life long friendship between the two... When Spike shows up in School Hard Giles immediately recognizes Buffy's description so he sets up a meet. After finding out why Spike is at the Hellmouth, Giles strikes a deal. He'll help Spike heal Drusilla if Spike agrees to help his slayer for an indeterminate amount of time. [Full challenge here.]

aka the conceit I needed to justify episode rewrites/stolen scenes for all my favorite almost-Spuffy bits. Buffy bounces from scene to scene, choosing Spike over and over and over. Non-linear but connected.

Shaken by the memories that flooded through him when his soul was returned, Angel took off into the night, leaving Buffy and an ever growing portal to a hell dimension behind him. With no other choice, Buffy stabbed Spike, condemning him to an eternity in Hell. The only problem was that as he was sucked in, he pulled Buffy in with him.
Buffy always expected Hell to be full of fire and brimstone, but now she is trapped in a twilight realm, where the cold bites and the darkness waits. As she and Spike battle their new reality, and each other, the lingering question is, what will they do when the snow finally falls?

For a challenge by pfeifferpack: I'd like a story where a goddess of love (pick your pantheon) watches Buffy turn her anger and violence upon Spike over and over and she becomes angered that Buffy doesn't value what is in front of her. Unconditional love is rare and Buffy did more than simply reject that love offered to her by Spike... The goddess decided to have Buffy learn how rare a gift she is trashing in some way up to the writers imagination. You can have the goddess make herself and her intention known or just have Buffy experience whatever lesson will show her the value of Spike's love. [Full challenge here.]

Just a single moment of intervention - and everything is different. One tiny second of distraction, and Buffy's world ends. She wasn't ready for him to be gone.

Spotify playlist, because I put in lots of obscure song references: Prisoners of Love, Blue Skies Above
