Summary: What if Buffy realizes that during the Tabula Rasa spell, Spike had no memories but wasn't evil. Not only that, he had no inclination to do wrong and none of them questioned that he was a soulful human. How would that change her outlook and their relationship?
Written for the Elysian Fields 2022 Challenge Month. Story Notes: Written for the Elysian Fields 2022 April Challenge month as a response to
Kereea’s Hey Wait A Minute challenge. It picks up from the moment in Tabula Rasa when the crystal is smashed and the spell breaks and follows through an alternate path for our characters through the end of the episode.
Thank you to
Vogon Poet, my ever faithful beta! Banner by me (my first one ever!).
I wrote this as a fix-it to the end of Tabula Rasa and it is complete as is. However, I can’t promise that I won’t come back to explore what this could lead to in the rest of Season 6.
