What would spike be like as a boyfriend, specifically maybe to a reader who's really short (like 4'11 to 5 foot short)...
Please don't say drop kick, that's what I got last time I asked for a comfort thing :)
Your writing is wonderful 💛💛
a/n: that’s absolutely awful that they said that, I don’t believe he would do that to be honest! And thank you so much for the kind comment, I’m completely open to criticism for my writing xx
Also I feel like it needs to be addressed his actions in season 6 - I would love a discussion about how others feel (I’ve only JUST finished watching buffy lol) and I love Spike but that episode was a mess? And I don’t want to disrespect anyone ... do we pretend it didn’t happen? do we accept him because he got his soul back? 
𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕

Tumblr media
⸱ I definitely think you guys have a pride & prejudice beginning. He feigned hatred and tried to ignore you. You were nothing but a mere human to him. You’re close to Buffy and her gang of merry vampire slayers, which automatically made you an enemy
⸱ And yet, there was something about you. The twinkle in your eyes whenever you look up at him, the way you smiled when the world seemed it would end in a second.
⸱ He always considered himself, the Big Bad, but when an ancient vampire named Erylis came to Sunnydale, his reputation shadowed all else. No one knew where he came from, what he looked like. But he was someone to be afraid of.
⸱ You had been captured, drank from, but given something, that once rescued, no one could understand. You did not turn, but some of Erylis’ power seeped from him to you. You were faster, stronger, keener; more awake. Any wounds healed quickly and you were able to foresee a semblence of the future.
⸱ The group helped you the best way they could; Willow was always there to listen. Xander for a shoulder to lean on, Giles for information and Buffy for strength. They still accepted you, but wanted to know what exactly you were now. Some sort of superhuman?
⸱ Spike helped resue you from Erylis; after he had the chip inplanted in his head, what else was he supposed to do? Where else would he go?
⸱ He had pulled Erylis from your neck, and although tempted himself, he saw your paled face and something in his chest changed. Cracked open? Blossomed?
⸱ Now that Spike was ... sort of apart of the gang, he spent more time with you. Especially since he was the only one who wasn’t frightened of you. (The group still loved you, but they did have some apprehension, would you hurt someone? Did you need to feed?)
⸱ Spike was there when some of the questions about your change were answered. In short, there was small experiements. Like eating usual food; did it fill you up the same? Were you craving something else? Nope, it was like before. Except what you had liked before (possibly sweets, or chips etc,.) were intensified. And what you didn’t like seemed repulsive.
⸱ You had no desire to hurt other people, except those who had wronged you. You felt things more deeply, and the things that helped humans seemed to help you x100.
⸱ You always carry lavender and chamomile to help calm you down.
⸱ After getting to know you, he was smitten. He would try his best not to show it, but there was his possessive side that wanted to jump out whenever someone showed any type of interest in you
⸱ And you know what, you felt the same way. When he would be around any other girl, there was a flash of pain in your chest. You cared so deeply for him. But you tried not to show it; I mean Willow caught on. She caught on fast, then Buffy and Giles. Xander was completely oblivious. 
⸱ When you had your first kiss, he would’ve leant down, while you were on your tippy toes. 
⸱ He’s is vERY protective of you, even though you’re more durable than he is. Every demon knows there will be hell to pay if they go anywhere NEAR you. 
⸱ So, it’s actually a good thing for you and the gang... that you and Spike are together, it’s like they have an extra layer of protection. 
⸱ However, that does put Spike at risk. But he has plenty of enemies anyway, so he’s used to it
⸱ He likes it when he’s laying between your legs, head resting against your chest as you stroke his face. 
⸱ “Ya know pet, I wouldn’t of thought you and I would get along so well.” He mumbled one night, your head resting against his chest.       “Sometimes we don’t,” you replied teasingly.  “Well love, you know what they say.”      “What do they say, Spike?”  “Opposites attract.” 
⸱ You always wake up before him, but on the odd day that he wakes first, he’ll bring you in a cup of tea. 
⸱ Also I don’t want anyone saying this is out of character because we haven’t seen Spike in a positive relationship. So I do think he would be thoughtful to his significant other (also he’s british, they love tea)
⸱ His favourite thing to do together is when he has his head in your lap, and you’re reading out loud to him
⸱ He tells you tales of the lives he’s lived
⸱ Doesn’t like other people making inquiries or jokes about your relationship
⸱ There’s still tension when he’s around the group, but he is changing with you. Becoming softer, kinder
⸱ You’re becoming more ... sassy? If that’s the right word to use...more in tune with quick-witted comments
⸱ He knows a lot about you, not just because he listens to you talk but he has been watching you for a while. Noticing your quirks in conversations and likes/dislikes 
⸱ He knows your favourite movies and books
⸱ Spike loves taking you on adventures, especially when there’s chaos... have probably robbed a place together I won’t lie (it was pub with a sexist bartender, what else were you supposed to do?)

Smoking and Vampires Kill (Reader x Spike)
Tumblr media
'A sigh escaped your mouth as you remember the feeling of being kissed by Spike and exhaling smoke. You knew if you didn't quit smoking and break up with Spike they would have both killed you in the end.'
Summary: Your vampire ex-boyfriend visits your house when he hears you've quit smoking to try and tempt you into giving in to both.
Word Count: 2048
Ao3 link: Ao3
At midnight on New Year's Eve you walked straight into the bathroom and flushed your last pack of cigarettes. While your heart leapt up into your throat for an instant as the panic started you breathed out a sigh of relief. Trembling, you washed your hands and went to go re-join the party and find your new boyfriend in the crowd.
It's Winter break and you've been back home from studying at UC Sunnydale for two weeks now. Coincidently, that's also the number of days gone without smoking. Counting them off like prison scratches on the wall. You've always wanted to quit smoking and it didn't help when you met Spike who would chain-smoke indefinitely without the death anxiety, for obvious reasons. You first met Spike outside the Bronze one evening when he asked you for a light. Not thinking anything of it, you said he could keep it remembering all the Clippers in your draw at home. It was a novelty Halloween design with a vampire motif and the words 'blood sucker' wrapped around it. You never liked it, vampires were never your favourite monster. He looked at you credulously, with his eyes opened and slightly frowning at the suggestion. His facial expression soon relaxed and he thanked you and said he'd maybe see you inside. You thought he was strange as he blew smoke rings and poked is finger through them while looking up wistfully at the night sky.
You would only ever see him loitering outside the Bronze back alley. Since you spent half the night going inside and outside to smoke you'd end up catching him before he disappeared into the night. Soon enough, he became the sole reason you went to the Bronze. How pathetic, you thought, wanting to shiver in the cold while waiting for a stranger to appear, only to exchange a few words, maybe share a cigarette and then say goodbye.
One night you were warming yourself up with your lighter after crushing out your second cigarette waiting for Spike. You didn't think he was going to show until you turned around to go inside and there he was, brooding over the top of you and grinning manically.
"Hey Y/N! I was just looking for you. What are you doing outside? You must be freezing. Here let's go back inside."
He shuffled you indoors and bought you a hot mulled wine to warm you up. All the time shaking his head and complaining you were going to catch a cold. You moved naturally with him and followed his lead. This was the first time you had ever even seen him inside the Bronze, let alone be in his company with others around. You both sat down at a table in the back where it was away from the main stage.
"I haven't seen you in a while" you said, instantly regretting admitting you noticed.
"Yeah, I've been busy," Spike said raising his eyebrows, obviously surprised. "But I had my lucky lighter with me to remind me of you," showing you the vampire lighter out of his pocket and playing with it on the table. This made you smile that he remembered. You talked all night together until closing and he walked you home, after insisting, saying there's bad people lurking around this time of night.
It would only be a few weeks into the relationship that he would reveal his true identity as a vampire. You immediately ended the relationship in your head when his face turned into that of a beast. You weren't scared at the change in his appearance and demeanour. You only wanted to leave the Bronze and never see him again. This was three months ago and you hadn't seen him since. Not even when you braved to go our to the Bronze a few weeks after the break-up. You slowly forgot, or pretended you had forgotten, about the mystery vampire when you went to UC Sunnydale. What with all the studying, coffee and cigarettes consuming your brain you could hardly think straight let alone remember basic English. But, now you were back home and the memories consumed you. Perhaps, you thought, you had unconsciously quit smoking to forget Spike.
It was midnight, day 15, and you were kept awake by the intense cravings and nausea. You felt dizzy and the whole world was spinning when you rested your head. So, you switched on your bedside light and tried some breathing exercises. In and out. It will all go away soon, you thought. You stared out your bedroom window and remembered all the memories you had with Spike. You both had stood huddled under his leather jacket while it rained with his arm wrapped around your shoulder as you shared a cigarette. With your faces almost touching, all it took was a slight turn and that was the first time you both kissed. The cigarette forgotten about, laid burning half finished on the ground outside the Bronze. A sigh escaped your mouth as you remember the feeling of being kissed by Spike and exhaling smoke. You knew if you didn't quit smoking and break up with Spike they would have both killed you in the end. There's nothing in this world that compares to having something you love which kills you in the process. You feel both weak and strong being defeated because it means you have something to overcome.
These were the thoughts racing through your head as the clock moved between the early hours of the morning. You heard your parents snoring down the hallway and closed your eyes trying to isolate your dad's breathing and snoring. This grounded you in the moment until you heard a sudden sound outside of a lighter spark and an inhale that was followed by a familiar scratchy cough and a curse word. Paralyzed, you sat frozen on your bed while your eyes bursted open like a cat's, hair sticking up on end. You drifted to your windowsill, hiding behind the curtain and peeping outside you saw Spike standing below your window. He was leaning up against a tree in your front yard and looking straight into your bedroom. Flustered you backed away from the window. It's too dark to tell but you don't think he looked angry or upset. Honestly, it looked like he was just minding his own business, loitering in the middle of the night. Except, he was staring into your window so he obviously hasn't forgotten about you. You remember he is unable to enter the house since you never formally invited him inside. But, that didn't make him go away as there he stood waiting outside your house.
Knowing that you would be unable to sleep unless you confronted him about his stalker behaviour you returned to the window. You opened both curtains and sat down on your window sill bench wrapping the blanket around you. Breathing a deep breath, you opened your window and finally looked down at Spike.
"I had nearly given up," he said waving his lit cigarette. "I thought I was going to have to smoke a whole packet before you'd open up."
"What are you doing here Spike?" you ask, grimacing as you see his bleached blonde hair shine in the moonlight. God, how did that ever attract you.
"A little birdy told me that you've quit smoking and I've just come to give my congrats. Nothing wrong with that, is there?" He asks, grinning innocently and putting his hands up in the air. He crushes the cigarette on the ground and proceeds to light another one. "You see, I've tried quitting every turn of the century but nothing's seemed to work and I was thinking, since you're doing so well and all, you'd let me in on the secret".
This is unbelievable, you thought. He's really going to stand there all night, smoking a packet of cigarettes, trying to get inside your head. The wind rustled the leaves above Spike. Maybe if it picks up it would blow out his cigarette or at least drown out his voice. You looked into Spike's eyes as he raised his eyebrows waiting for your response.
"If you really want to know Spike, sometimes to kill one addiction you have to kill another. Like, if you always smoke when you have a drink you might have to quit both. At least for me, breaking up with you has solved all kinds of problems in my life."
"Ouch that hurts, love. But I bet that's what you wanted. Though I know you don't mean a word. I'll throw you up a smoke, if you want. Must be craving one like mad stuck in your room watching me enjoy one." He said, blowing out a cloud of smoke. You hated to admit it but he was right. You would have liked a cigarette but you couldn't bow down and accept one from Spike of all people.
"Sure and while I'm at it I think I want to get back together, don't you?"
"Cool it with the sarcasm pet, I'm just teasing you. Honestly, I want to commend you for giving it up. There's no point ruining your body when it's your only one. But I've been missing you lately. You never come to the Bronze anymore."
Why doesn't he just start crying, you thought. If you would have known he'd be this clingy you would never have spoken to him. Maybe all those times you waited in the back alley for him, he was also waiting for the right time to walk up to you. You had never thought about that before. How long could he have been staring at me, watching me, waiting to come up to me and have a smoke. It creeped you out to think of yourself as prey and Spike the predator. But that's what he was, at the end of the day. He had never raised his hand or drawn your blood, but that doesn't mean he wasn't trying to kill you. He was toying with you, making you believe you were in love with him. You thought you could never love another person except for Spike. But, you had proved that wrong having been in a more than happy relationship for months now.
You no longer needed those things that were silently killing you. Neither Spike or cigarettes were welcome into your life anymore. You stared down at Spike, smoking his third cigarette now catching a glimpse of your old vampire lighter. If only you could have known how ironic it was when you handed it over to him, he must have loved it. Reflecting back on when you first started smoking in your teenage years, you didn't know smoking was going to corrupt your body and become an irrepressible addiction. You were naïve and thought it would lessen the monotony of everyday life and make you more mature. The same was true about going out with Spike, an older guy who happened to be much older than he looks. You know you shouldn't blame yourself for what you know now but it's hard when you're consumed with deep seated regret. Especially because your body desires and craves both Spike and smoking.
"Goodbye, Spike." you whisper, just loud enough to see his face start and mouth open.
You smile sincerely looking down at Spike remembering the times you had together. The nights he'd stay out with you after closing hours and talk with you all night. But, Spike is a double-edged sword and someone who, in the end, would kill you if he had the chance. You close the curtains not turning back and curl up into bed imagining his arm around you as you smoked together in the rain. It felt so real, like he was there in bed beside you, Though you knew it was impossible you curled up next to him in his smoked-stained leather jacket and felt his arms wrap around you.
"I guess that's another addiction I haven't gotten over." you say as you breath a sigh of release. Turning out your lamp, you toss and turn trying to sleep while memories of Spike lighting a cigarette and handing it over to you with a grin churns in your brain.

Adding to the “Spike eats garlic” line of thought, todays headcanon is I think Spike wears crosses sometimes. There’s been stuff in canon that implies he’s really not afraid of them even though they burn and he’s definitely not afraid of sunlight so I don’t think it’s a stretch to imagine he might wear a cross because he likes the design or he borrows one of Buffy’s. He wears it over his shirt where it doesn’t touch his skin but sometimes he forgets and reaches up and his hand grazes it.
My final thoughts are, adding all this together, I think it would be funny if there was a new member of the group that simply…didn’t clock that he was a vampire for a long time. Like yeah he seems oddly strong but they’ve never seen him in game face. Why would they think he’s a vampire?? He eats normal food all the time, he’s at Buffy’s house and the magic shop during the day, and they always just miss him crashing into the room on fire. They’ve seen him wear a cross. He’s standing in the background, tossing a bulb of garlic around like it’s a hackey sack.
The first time they see him in game face they scream and freak out and run to Buffy like “SPIKE GOT TURNED INTO A VAMPIRE!” And Buffy’s like…”yeah…he did…before radios were invented…”

Dance With Me (Spike x Y/N)
Tumblr media
Request: No. Just another drabble that is way too long.
Synopsis: Being a cursed slayer is hard. Harder when a vampire won't just leave you alone.
TW: None.
Word Count: 1.2k
Previous | Next
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun has set and the air is thick with fog. It’s eerily quiet in the cemetery. Not a creature to disturb the atmosphere. Inside the mausoleum there permeated a different energy.
Heavy sighs and lustful laughs can be heard. The sound of passionate kissing and groping is evident in the quiet of the night. Spike held you close to him on the sofa. Like a predator that caught his prey. You sighed in his mouth as you melded in a fiery storm of desire. His hands roamed your upper back, trying to unclasp your bra. You didn’t protest. Everything was going well. Too well. You came out for air. Heavy eye contact was made. As if you could communicate your deepest desires with one look.
As Spike was ready to go in for another round of erotic contact a loud noise was heard. He looked up but nothing was there. Another thud nearer still. He felt in a haze. As if something was amiss. As he looks back down at you, you disappear. His dream is broken. He wakes up with a gasp. Another dreaded dream of the cursed slayer. He felt surprised that his attention had shifted so suddenly to the new slayer. His heart still belonged to Buffy, or at least that’s what he liked to believe. However, these heavy sensual dreams were more frequent as of late.
Outside y/n roamed the cemetery, hacking away at heavy foliage near the wooded area. Another night out on the hunt. If it could stop, that would be an improvement to y/n's life. Being cursed to hunt demons for over 1,000 years is less of a privilege and more of a punishment. The world may be safe, but y/n loses her grip on reality. Every day is the same. Wake up, go to work, wait till the sun sets and hunt. Everything was the same with a little twist, this time around. Spike being the lemon to her lemonade. She regarded him as an equal, someone that she enjoyed being around, but the lord knows he was bad for her. With his British accent, bravado and underlying poet heart. She had met many like him, but he had a spark to him. A light that others missed. She hadn’t seen him since their slow dance. You could say that tonight her hunt was partially focused on finding him again.  
The cemetery was empty, quiet. The fog gave it an eerie ambiance. Y/n was guarded and ready for a fight. No, hoping for a fight. A crack in the distance catches her attention. She walks closer, hoping to encounter a demon. She pounces on a bush, wrestles with a branch or two to find nothing. A bunny on its way to its hide out.
"Attacking critters, are we?" A smug voice called from behind.
Y/n whips her head around to find him, leaning on a tombstone. She made a mental note of how ridiculously big the tombstone was. She feigned annoyance.
"You can never be too sure in the Hellmouth. What are you up to in this cryptic place." She brushed off the twigs and leaves that gathered in her hair.
"Vampire plus cemetery equals home."
She felt dumb. "Oh right, god forbid you find somewhere that doesn't smell like death"
"I like to call it musk." He grinned and walked closer. He fiddled with her hair, pulling the remaining twigs out of it. "Are we hunting tonight, cursed slayer?"
She snatched her hair back. "It’s just slayer and yes. I heard that a big demon was hiding out here. You didn't see a skinny little rascal full of horns and pointy teeth, did ya?"
"The description paints a picture but none that I’ve seen. Why not entertain yourself with some vampires while you wait?"
"No can do. That's Buffy's territory. I just hunt demons now a days.”
Spike raises his eyebrows, incredulous. “A retired slayer?"
"No, to loop back to your original point, I’m a cursed slayer. Part of the ordeal is that I can't kill vampires and they can't kill me. So we're eternally stuck with each other. Poetic, ain't it?" Y/n makes a face of defeat.
Spike takes a breath, processing what you just said. He is thoroughly amused by your circumstances. Enthralled with the idea that you can't hurt him and he can’t hurt you. Equals.
He proceeds to laugh after a pause. "You're pathetic."
"Super rude." She pushes past him. She regrets seeking him out. Of course, regardless of how she feels about him, he is still evil.
He reaches back for her only to miss her hand. The slight touch sending shivers down his spine. What a nit he has been. If she were like Buffy, she would’ve bantered with him. Picked a fight. Y/n is much less tolerant of his teasing.
Y/n walks with purpose deeper into the cemetery woods in search of the demon. Spike follows her.
"What do you want Spike? Let me be pathetic in peace." She's angry and hurt.
This is why you don't share about your curse. It makes you feel defective, useless. She thought.
He steps in front of you, hands up in a defensive stance. "I’m sorry. I didn't mean it as an insult"
You laugh. "How else am I supposed to take it?"
"I’m not used to people taking what I say to heart. I was expecting an insult back."
"Yes, please make fun of my suffering. I just love being eternal. If you’re looking for a fight, go somewhere else. Now move, this pathetic cursed slayer still has work to do."
As you walk away, he beats himself up internally. What a fucking idiot he's being. How can he reach out to you if he's too busy pushing you away? So, he follows you again without a word.
Screeching is heard from a couple of miles away. A pained scream from an unknown being. There's a clearing in the woods and an animal is seen thrashing and fighting for its life. Y/n crouches low, eyes on the demon feeding on the animal.
"That our guy?" Spike sneaks behind you.
You don't answer. You pull a sword from a sheath strapped to your back. You're ready.
You go in fast with a big swing. You miss by a small margin. The demon confronts you and you go at it. His slim form permits him to be agile while you're slightly slowed down by your weapon.
Frustrated, Spike gets tired of being on the sidelines. "Mind if I cut in." He slugs the demon unexpectedly.
The demon stumbles and before he can get his bearings you slice into the demon’s chest cavity. The demon screams out in pain. His body slumps with a disgusting thud.
"That was easy." Spike smirked.
You're frustrated with him for insulting you and the even more for cutting in. It was clear that coming out tonight was a mistake. You turn around and start to storm off, sword in hand. You hated how overly sensitive you felt around Spike. He was just another vampire. So, why were you so hurt by him?
"Wait..." Spike begs.
You swing your sword and place it inches away from his face. He steadies.
"I liked our dance the other night. It felt right. Can we do it again sometime?"
"Are you gonna insult me again?"
Spike pondered it. He liked getting under her skin. "Not unless it turns you on."
You laughed, you couldn't help it. This dolt of a vampire had you in a chokehold and you didn't know why.
"Do you know how to waltz?" She asked.
Spike grimaced. "A bit uppity for my taste but I'll do it." He pushes your sword away and steps closer "But only for you."

how I think each Buffy character feels about cilantro (as someone with the soap gene)
Buffy-Has gene, doesn’t like cilantro.
Willow-Tastes cilantro normally, doesn’t like it.
Xander-Has soap gene, likes cilantro
Giles-Tastes ci-coriander normally, likes it.
Anya-Doesn’t know what cilantro is, opinion and genealogy unclear.
Faith-Mild allergy, still good with eating it because “it isn’t severe enough to kill me, and I like the sting of the flavor” (the “sting” is her tongue having an allergic reaction)
Jenny-Has gene, did not know gene existed and just thought that’s what cilantro was supposed to taste like for decades. Doesn't like it.
Tara-Tastes cilantro normally. No strong opinions, but avoids cooking with it for soap-gened people.
Cordelia-Ate cilantro like once in her life. Doesn’t remember how she tasted it or if she liked it.
Angel-Has the gene, and although vampires taste buds are generally a bit weakened, he has a strong enough variation of the gene that he still despises it despite his vampirism. Still eats it, sometimes even eats it on purpose, because “I deserve to suffer for my sins” (he is eating one singular cilantro)
Spike-Doesn’t have the gene, cannot really taste cilantro cause vampirism.

I'm back into Buffy
Started from season 4 this time because the first couple seasons are pretty slow on the... Spike front... and I'm nothing if not a Spike fan
Anyway I think the way vampires work in Buffy is that the demon that possesses a bitten person has their own personality and morals and wants, and then they get the memories and emotions of the body mixed in.
So a vampire is a blend of specific demon and human, and their actions depend on whichever part is stronger.
Angelus is a very strong demon and the human was very weak-willed, so when he gets un-cursed he is mostly demon.
Spike, Harmony, others all have vampiric urges and twisted morals, but are ultimately driven by their human personalities.
So when Spike comes around to the "good" side, it's because he's learned to embrace the human part of him and overcome the base urges of his demon half, but when Angel is "good" it's because he's had the demon part suppressed behind the soul. The little pieces of personality aren't enough for him.
Now, it's been a few years since I watched it all the way through, so I'm proclaiming this all headcanon until I catch up and disprove myself lol

𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐤𝐞'𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐬/𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 
⤷ vampire female, ambiguous race, and any size reader. Requests are open, thank you for reading!
a/n: I’m writing reader as a vampire as well btw. Also ,I didn’t know which part of England you wanted reader to be from, so you can imagine whatever you wish.
ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ
𝑺𝑭𝑾🌿  
・The two of you are a pair of chaos; just pushing everyone’s buttons, always bringing excitement and giving the world a lil shaking up 
   “Oi love, what year did we get hitched again,” Spike called from the loungeroom. It was dim and dark, candles lit and scattered around the makeshift living quarters. 
     “Darlin’ it was that long ago... I couldn’t tell you,” you drawled. 
・He was the one that turned you, it was during the 1930s. He took pity on you, a low income, working girl who was trying to provide for her family. 
・You both love annoying Buffy and the scooby gang; especially when Spike had that chip implanted - you wouldn’t leave him.
・There’s a lot of inside jokes and shared memories that you to reminisce about all the time. 
   “Pet, remember the time we went on a bender for a month straight-”
“Do you mean with alcohol or blood, my love?” 
     “Oh wait ... we’ve done both-” and then you both start laughing. Bless the person who ever overhears, especially an everyday bystander. 
・Both got each other’s initials on each ring finger. You would think as your vampire state, tattoos wouldn’t work. But skin is skin and it’s even better because you can’t go out in sunlight, so it never fades. However, because you live so long - every 100 years you get them touched up. 
・You like to collect a different edition of the book, Dracula, by Bram Stoker. Each year changes the book’s cover. Spike thought it was a wonderful idea at first, but now you have hundreds of versions of the same book. 
・Until he came up with the idea of keeping a crypt full of them, so you know they won’t have to be moved whenever you do. 
・If everyone thought Spike was scary, then their world was rocked when they met you. Living for so long, and knowing your immorality - nothing seemed off limits. Like the world was your oyster. 
・So of course, you did what you pleased and damned any consequences. 
・Spike always likes to show you off, as if he’s saying to the world how proud he is to call you his. 
・Just like Spike calls people ‘pet’, you call everyone my darling. The way you say it brings shivers to everyone’s spines. 
・I reckon Giles would have a crush on you - obviously never saying it out loud, nor would he ever admit it to himself. 
・You’ve read tonnes and tonnes of books, both fiction and nonfiction. You’re like a walking encyclopedia; which the group has found very useful. That’s why they keep asking for your aid. They let Spike come along because they know he’s like a lovesick puppy dog. 
・Willow likes to ask you many, many questions. You’re like google, basically. 
・Buffy is wary of you, since she is the Slayer. 
・Xander is amazed by you, but finds you kinda revolting because of your husband - 
・You and Spike have reserved pet names for each other that no one else knows about

Follow this train of thought with me and tell me if I'm onto something or just wearing Spuffy shipping goggles.
Here are the things we know to be true about Dawn: 1) She's made from Buffy; her blood, her memories, her essence, etc. Although Dawn is her own person, she also *is* Buffy to some degree. 2) Everyone's false memories of Dawn show her fitting into Buffy's past in a way that doesn't disrupt any major events, but it gives them very real feelings toward her. 3) Her main function as the monks built her is to be innocent and in need of the Slayer's protection.
Here's where my weirdo headcanon comes in.
Dawn's relationships with Buffy's loved ones show her attachment to them, and their attachment to her. They tie Dawn positively to Buffy's family and friends, all the people who are likely to join in protecting her.
Why the fuck is Spike on this list? lmao
If memory serves, Spike and Dawn are on good terms from the very beginning of season 5. She even--very briefly--has a small crush on him later. That's a whole lotta approval from Dawn. Not to mention an extremely uncommon amount of respect and affection from Spike.
It's hard to say precisely which parts of Dawn were intentional, and how much of it was just magic taking the monks' general orders and running wild. I think mostly the latter. Regardless, the monks, the magic behind the spell, and Buffy herself flagged Spike as someone who would protect Dawn. Obviously, that was a very good call. He went through hell and high water trying to keep her safe.
I think that the monks' and magic's involvement in this choice likely played a less specific role. The monks had one goal: make the Slayer keep the Key safe. The magic's ability for independent choices is more nebulous, but we can safely assume that it created Dawn to attract as much dependable protection as possible (while still being a real human person).
ALL of this works through Buffy. Everything Dawn is, it came from Buffy, especially the #1 goal behind the spell. Keep Dawn safe. Set up relationships with people who will protect her at all costs.
So in her heart of hearts, even after all the bullshit Spike pulled at the end of season 4, Buffy knew that she could count on him as she took on the most important task she'd ever been given.
Holy hell.

Spike: "You know what, forget it." he says as he walks away.
Two seconds later: "Actually, YOU know what," he starts suddenly turning on his heel and marching straight back towards you.

Spike Turning You Into A Vampire Would Include
Tumblr media
Spike would want to turn you the moment he fell for you, but he’d know you need time to adjust to the idea of eternal life.
Yet Spike is Spike, and he’d be impatient for your answer, maybe even bugging you so much about it that you’d have to have some space.
In the meantime he’d fret that he ruined everything between you by pushing the issue, but it’s not as if you didn’t know him and understand that he’s just nervous and —despite his outward bravado— a bit insecure.
Finally, given the appropriate amount of time for you to think things over, you’d come to him with an answer. Yes. The look of pure joy you’d see on his face is rare for him to display, even to you, and you can’t help but be excited with him.
So he’d turn you, make a real night of it before he did too. You’d spend the night with him, enjoying your time together from sunset on through the night before he eventually took you back to his crypt and turned you just before sunrise, so you could rest after the change. And he’d watch you carefully and provide you with what you needed as your body adjusted to its new state of being.
For anon

Things we don’t think about enough: Clem probably started crying when he heard Spike was dead.

My BtVS sexuality headcanons, pt 2: The Fanged Four
Because I had to do Angel and Spike next or I'd have a riot on my hands. Just kidding. Mostly. Anyhow, I love the Fanged Four. A whole bunch. And here's what (in my opinion) their sexual orientations are. Again I apologize for my bad photoshopping skills.
Angel.
Tumblr media
Angel is bi. He is bi. There is 0% doubt in my mind that this man is an absolute disaster bisexual. I should have used the disaster bi flag as the background, really. I say he's bi because I do think he has gender preferences and might not be attracted to all genders.
Darla.
Tumblr media
I think that Darla is omnisexual. She's attracted to all genders, but isn't necessarily gender-blind. Gender is going to be a factor in her attraction. Do I have any deviance for this? Well, I've got evidence that she likes more than one gender. As for not being gender blind, I have no evidence, it's just the feeling I get.
Spike.
Tumblr media
Another disaster bi. He gives off so much bi energy even without all the bi subtext in canon. I really wanted to use the disaster bi flag for him. And the picture of him doing the bisexual double thumbs up. Or not sitting correctly.
Drusilla.
Tumblr media
Last but certainly never least, Oh look another bisexual, what a surprise. I think Dru might have a preference for men, but I think she is still solidly bisexual!
All vampires are on the multisexual spectrum, I think. At least these four are.
Bonus
Pretty much canon...but...they were a polycule, people.
Part 3?
