Summary: Buffy’s up against a new big bad and it has nothing to do with the supernatural world. Will she swallow her pride and embarrassment and turn to the one man on the planet who’s the least likely to be of any help in this situation?
Based on the terrible, but very real U.S. Tampon Shortage of ’22. What if it happened somewhere in an alternate version of Season 7 where Buffy isn’t in an official relationship with Spike, but she’s opening up to the idea.
 
Thank you to my friends, hostile 17 and Axell for both being amazing betas for me. Sometimes a beta is an author in need of a beta and you guys really pulled through for me.
Also, kudos to Axell for the perfect banner. It was like you pulled it out of my imagination and turned it into art!

Story Notes: Author’s disclaimer: Not my park, not my sandbox. I’m just playing with the pail and shovel someone else left behind. Also, Imagination Spike does what he wants and I let him. If you have a problem with that, you try to stop him. It works out better for me if I let it play out.

*Song Spike's singing/humming is Generation X's "Friday's Angels." Generation X was the punk rock band Billy Idol was a part of before they disbanded and he went solo, paving the way for post-punk.

Short and sweet ending that I hope was worth the wait. Warning: References to sexual activity during mentration. If that gives you the wiggins, you've come to the wrong story. Thanks to everyone who read this.

 

Thanks again to my betas hostile 17 and Axell. This two shot wouldn't have been finished - or posted - without you!
