Peeking a boo

[chani]

I've been on a low-Internet diet this week. Too much work, too little time...and to be honest I kind of suffered from an indigestion of all things Internet. It happens.

So instead I actually worked and in the evenings I started reading the new Mankell's crime novel I had bought. As I'm downloading Lost, I think it's time for a meme.

Nicked from both mary5958 and alwaysjbj.

As I said, in her story, it works because it's wrong for both of them, and Spike still mourns Buffy actually, yet he gives way.

I wouldn't enjoy a sexy Spawn or a happy Spawn...but elisi' story makes sense precisely because it happens in an alternative season 6 (Dawn is only 15 and had a crush on Spike a few months before, she's part of Buffy, the only thing left...). It's a disturbing and depressing "what if". You want to enter the story and try to hammer some sense into Spike, to put him back on the salvation road, but you can't stop reading it and you know it's gonna end badly.

Of course as usual with fan fiction, I actually prefer what we saw on screen story-wise. That's probably why my favourite fanfic are usually post-series.
