    Summary

    “Buffy?”
    He almost never used to call her Buffy. Did he? Always Slayer, or pet, or love. Or like, he’d use her name, but it always sounded odd, in his mouth. All tender, touchy. Like, like he was making eye contact with her, just by saying it.

    "Spike."
    She wonders if it feels the same, for him. His name, her tongue.

    -
    (Or: Spike’s gone, and Buffy doesn’t care. No, really, she doesn’t. Cross her heart.)

    Summary

    ... It's a duck.

    There's just a tiny bit of magic floating around after Willow ends the Will be Done spell, and it turns the resident captive vampire into a duckling. And he's so adorably angry about it. Question is now... who's going to take care of duckling!Spike? Oh, it's Buffy, of course.

    But Spike being a duck doesn't mean everything else goes away. He's got a new perspective, and over time, so does Buffy. Changes to Season 4 grow as time goes on.

    I'm sure someone's written something like this before, but I got the idea and here we are. The plot also started to happen, and now I can't stop it.
