A banner featuring the line "You don't strike me as the begging kind"
A/N: "Here is my second banner - this scene and quotes, for me, are the essence of Buffy and Spike and their relationship in this early time period.  And yet, so much of William/Spike will effect his future in Sunnydale and with his one time enemy."

A banner featuring the line “You got Slayer problems”

A/N: “Thanks for doing this special tribute to School Hard and the 20 Years of the Buffyverse -
I did two banners and had a great time watching this introduction of Spike to the series - it’s an awesome way to meet Spike and Drusilla and Buffy’s first encounter with the family of Angel/Angelus.”

Fic: Hindsight, Buffy/Spike, G

Hindsight
By Barb C

Characters: Buffy/Spike
Rating: G
Summary: Buffy looks back
Notes:: Just a little (very little) ficlet for School Hard Weekend! Barbverse, but could just as well be canon-compliant.


It would have been ego-boosting to think that she had a clue about Spike from the very beginning. Or that he'd had a clue about her. That there was some stirring of destiny in their hearts from the first moment their eyes met, some sense that their lives had undergone a seismic upheaval, and would never again be the same. But she was destiny-free in those post-Pergamum Codex days, and Spike admits that the only stirring he felt was in his pants. She's pretty sure she felt a passing twinge of regret for the hotness (in a sallow way) wasted on a homicidal maniac, which, OK, maybe a mutual lust connection, if nothing else? But Spike wasn't even her type (teen Buffy liked 'em tall, dark, and brooding) and her mind and her heart were full of Angel, and Spike was all truly madly deeply with Dru, so, passing twinge only.

Fact was, neither of them saw the other coming. And these days, Buffy thinks that's probably a good thing. Death was all destiny had in store for either of them. Love, they've made for themselves.

One more oldie from me for this School Hard weekend.

This story is set during the summer between seasons 5 and 6. It refers briefly to both School Hard and Lovers Walk, but sets them in the retconned universe where Dawn was born into the Summers family.
