i think you'll stay

I really don't know what to tell you. Twenty-two months ago I started writing a silly little coffee shop AU where Buffy was a long-suffering barista at Giles' coffee shop and Spike William was the dorky customer she ran illegal latte experiments on and who definitely didn't have any weird secret hobbies or anything. Then it turned out that this fic was cursed and/or prophetic and I stopped being able to write for a year and a half. But now I'm back and I finished the motherfucker. Welcome to the Bean Box, bitch.

Pairing(s): Spike/Buffy, Buffy & Dawn

Summary: 

Buffy says, "No, but see, the thing is that good things look a lot like good things until you find out they're bad things, and I am really just full-up on bad things forever, thanks. Only lukewarm things for Buffy."

"That's the spirit, B!" Faith claps Buffy hard on the back, spilling some of William's coffee onto her shoes. "Let ole Willy warm ya up."

"Extremely not what I meant," says Buffy.

AKA: The one where Buffy works at a coffee shop and William is her favorite customer.

when Spike fell for Buffy

From the first moment you see him in S5, Spike comes across as being in love with Buffy. Marsters plays him that way and even the script begins to hint at it. Obviously, Spike does not realize he is in love with Buffy, but consider the episode Crush, wherein Drusilla claims that Spike had become interested in Buffy even in S2. The idea in S5 is that Spike has always had a romantic interest in Buffy, and you can see that from episode 5.01.

However, despite the many, many people who shipped it, I don't read Spike being in love with Buffy in any part of S4. Let's face it, Marsters has chemistry with literally everyone, but he just doesn't appear more attuned or attracted to Buffy than Giles or Xander or even Anya. Spike gets that interested look he gets whenever someone does unexpected, but he gets that way at Anya probably more than any other character in S4.

So why the sudden change between the end of S4 and beginning of S5? Why does Spike suddenly fall for Buffy?

The Doylist explanation is easy: the writers didn't intend for Spike to fall for Buffy when they wrote S4. They did intend it by the time they started writing S5. By 5.01, the writers were writing Spike with this in mind and Marsters was playing the part with this in mind. But what is the watsonian explanation?

From a watsonian standpoint, the difference between S4 and S5 is Dawn. Every single character we know has been altered, because of Dawn.

And what if Dawn is the reason Spike falls in love with Buffy? What if implanted memories of watching Buffy protect Dawn, watching Buffy care for Dawn, watching Buffy be a big sister allow Spike to see what he loves most in Buffy?

Spike is a caretaker--he cares for Dru when she's not well; he tries to care for Buffy. But he also has it bad for his proverbial familial elders. Dru is a mother/big sister figure as well as a lover; Angel is a father/big brother figure as well as a (at least that one time) lover. What if seeing the way that Buffy cares for her family, family who is younger and weaker and more helpless, family for whom she feels entirely responsible--opens up those kinds of feelings that Spike had for Dru? And what if the Season 2 that Dru remembers is a time in which Dawn existed, and Buffy sacrificed everything she was to protect Dawn from Angelus, and Spike saw that and it made him have more feelings for Buffy at that time than we ever see on screen, and that's why Dru knew what we didn't?

Tl;dr, everyone's probably already thought of this before: Dawn is the reason Spike loves Buffy.

The insane thing about Buffy confronting Spike as the Buffybot in Intervention (okay, one of the many many of the insane things about that scene) is how Buffy is able to reconstruct Spike’s fantasy of her. Like yes, she’s spoken to the bot, yes presumably she just spent several hours with it. But she never would’ve heard the bot say “would you like to ravage me now?”, that’s entirely her imagining what Spike’s sexual fantasy of her would be. And it’s not even Spike’s actual fantasy of Buffy because I think it’s pretty safe to say that by this point he’s discovered that the Buffybot doesn’t actually live up to his fantasies of her. The bot’s creation was almost like Spike’s fantasy of fantasizing about her. Partly it’s that, of course the bot will always be off from reality, it’ll never be the actual Buffy, but there’s also something about how this is how he wishes to desire her, as much as it’s about the ways he wishes she would desire him.

And Buffy’s reconstructions of those fantasies are spot on, like that he would fantasize that she would be eager to have sex with him, that she would protect him (by going to tell Glory), that she would find his wounds and by extension his vulnerability sexy and desirable. And there’s just something so. Idek. Being able to assume what he’d fantasize her, seeing her embody those fantasies, the whole absolutely vile and depraved thing with the Buffybot. Idk what I mean by this I’m just going insane I’m biting at the bars of my enclosure over this.

Spuffy fanfic by Herself_nyc

The Bittersweets Series The first fic springs from "Wrecked" in season six; the series veers off from canon at that point. These stories are F/M NC-17, with some slashy flashbacks. Some contain time-travel, dimension-hopping, and/or far flung future adventures.

Mating Buffy/Spike/Angel, post-NFA

What She Deserves

Buffy takes a solo road trip and gains perspective on being alive again—really alive, not Dead Girl Walking. Spoilers for all of season 6. Set a couple of months after the conclusion of "Grave.”

Spander fanfic by Herself_nyc

Blue-Eyed Boy Spike and Illyria are the sole survivors of the battle against The Circle of The Black Thorn. Half in despair, mourning Angel, Spike isn't ready for the appearance of a drastically altered Xander in Los Angeles. These stories are what results from their first chance encounter.

jessica helen lopez, “poem for my beloved”

#Buffy the Vampire Slayer #BtVS #edits #Spuffy #Spike #Buffy #Buffy Summers #Spike/Buffy #op #this poem is perfect for 5x07 Fool For Love to 7x02 Beneath You Spike i had to #also yes i am implying a continuity from soulless to souled Spike he is human with her before he gets his soul. i said what i said.

[malewifespike]

the line ‘you’ve never had it so good as me’ spike says after Wrecked is so. like ur right. canonically the only people Buffy has ever slept with are Angel (she was 16 so it was her first time ever and afterwards he went evil and psychology tortured her) and Parker (I don’t have to explain how he’s a piece of shit) so like yes. She really has never fucked like that before. spike said I’m gonna come into ur life and change everything you think you know about yourself :)

give up what you love (don’t look back)

*rolls up late with Starbucks* what’s up everyone I started this fic [REDACTED] years ago and finally finished it! It’s a time loop fic with load-bearing motifs such as the ways in which grief arrests us in time, being haunted by the person you wish you still were, and coconut shampoo.
