Summary: Something goes horribly, horribly awry with Willow’s ensoulment spell, and Angel’s soul finds an unexpected home – in his dirty laundry. Read now the tale of a Sock with a Soul; it’s on a mission to help the helpless, and it’s starting with Spike and Buffy.
 
Departs canon forever during Becoming Part Two. Has about the nuanced characterization one should expect from an Ensouled Sock AU. As seems to be my preferred genre now, this is a shameless smutty Spuffy farce, once I get that pesky canon drama out of the way.
 
Written for the 10th anniversary Seasonal Spuffy on Livejournal (November 2015).
 
 
Warnings: By the laws of California, Buffy is still under the age of consent (18) at the beginning of this fic, and will be for many more months. Spike doesn’t care (he’s evil) and Buffy doesn’t care (she’s a teenager who wants to be treated like an adult) and since Spike has the emotional development of a teen (or even tween) himself, we’ll call it good. She’ll be 18 before they get TOO far, anyhow. There will be sexual situations, bad language, character death (or characters-sucked-into-a-demon-dimension, which is close enough), and plain old explicit sex. Also an ensouled sock. If you keep reading, don’t blame me.
 
Temporary Spike/Drusilla & Buffy/Angel - nothing explicit, but given where this fic veers off, some mooning is inevitable.

Thanks to feliciacraft, who wrote a post on Tumblr that was the initial inspiration for this plot, and to restfield and the_moonmoth, who kept making it worse, until we ended up with this fine and glorious adventure. Tumblr is a scary, scary place. More thanks to the_moonmoth for her thorough beta-read.
Thanks to pfeifferpack for the banner!

Summary: The Sock with a Soul tries to inspire Christmas Romance in Spike and Buffy.
 
This story takes place near the end of Stitched Up. I recommend you read that fic first, or this will make little sense. NC-17 for language, eventual smut, and wackness. You’re welcome!
 
Thanks to Pfeifferpack for the soulful-sock image, which I have shamelessly stuck a Santa hat on for a banner. BECAUSE.
