    Summary

    The woman was born in a world of velvety white.

    Her world was a finite thing. Four walls of padded fabric that was oh so soft under her fingertips, a cold hard floor and a ceiling too high to touch.

    It was silent in her world.

    Summary

    Spike tries to take Buffy out in their ‘is this a date’ episode but instead of lashing out, she just goes to the nearest crate and has a breakdown cuz this is the WORST year of her life. Spike vows to make it better for her as best he can and for once, he kinda delivers. Even when the rest of Sunnydale goes off and makes things way, way worse for them all.

    Takes place during the second half of season 5, with dates to make following along w the actual cannon a little easier. Buffy breaks down because if anyone were in her shoes w the year she’s had, they probably would too. Slayer or not, that shit SUCKED. Joyce is a badass and doesn’t die, a giant cockroach demon tries to abduct the Slayer, Spike plays nurse (not in a sexy way), and there’s a road trip from a hell beast. What more could a story have? A happy ending? Yeah, sure, but who wants to go demon bowling? I know Buffy does.

    TW: gratuitous violence, vomiting, blood, gore, trash, bugs, so many giant bugs I’m so sorry, Joyce gets her groove back, BDSM, dominatrix Buffy, slow burn, Spike in therapy (sorta), I live for Joyce with a weapon, guns, abduction attempt, robot Buffy & Dawn (not sexual), sexual assault via roach demon, paperwork & a road trip

    Summary

    Buffy looks at his heart and begs, "Why can't you just leave me alone?"
    Spike cups her cheeks in both hands and kisses the crown of her head. "Maybe tomorrow, Slayer."

    Or: Spike makes a wish on New Year's Eve. The stars listen.
