"You know me -- all about the good deeds"

LIVING DEAD GIRL

Faith, the antithesis of Buffy’s authority, lavishes her “I don’t care” attitude after her contingent slayage of a human. Vilified by the Scoobies for what she did, Faith gravitates towards Mayor Wilkins whose use of the nuturant parent model of communication with her endows a sense of belonging.

🦇 Drusilla as a Scooby 🦇

An au where Drusilla is a Slayer as posited by that one theory that suggests her psychic abilities in canon are linked to her Slayer “potentiality”. I wanted to take it a step further and imagine her as a member of the Scoobies.

- Drusilla would be that goth kid who avidly delves into vampire fiction, including Anne Rice novels, and swoon over the titular vampire characters. A part of her can’t help fantasise the concept of an eternal love she believes vampires revel in.

- Her fashion choices would reflect her gothic tastes, paying homage to the allure of the '80s. She would tease her hair and favour a predominantly red and black wardrobe. 

- Drusilla would be endearingly quirky to her friends. ‘That weird kid’ who excitedly babbles away about her favourite topics of the day. When stressed out she might recite her favourite poems to calm her nerves. Indeed, her propensity for memorisation would make her a valuable asset to the Scooby Gang's research endeavours.

- Much like Willow she would lack experience in the dating scene. However, her bold, quirky style would undeniably attract a considerable amount of attention from her peers. 

- Drusilla's parents find themselves exasperated at her late-night escapades to The Bronze to dance the night away. Initially Drusilla would be shy, but once the right song/band plays she would shed her reservations and let her body move with an eccentric mind of its own.

- Definitely a hopeless romantic with a tendency to fall head-over-heels far too easily. Assuming she hadn’t yet known Spike, she might have crushed on Xander only for her gaze to shift towards Willow. The sight of Willow performing her witchcraft with adorable enthusiasm would make Dru’s heart beat an exquisite sigh of longing and protectiveness. Drusilla would find ways to make Willow notice her, and would even assist her in spells because of her own affinity for the craft. Willow might have had reservations of her own about Drusilla (assuming this timeline followed her crush on Xander), but would gradually warm up to her once she perceives her to be no threat.

- To Drusilla's dismay, her initial advances towards Xander would be met with awkwardness, as he might perceive her intentions as strange.

- Giles would dote over Drusilla’s affinity for music of his youth, finding it nice to talk to someone similarly cultured. Though would regard her as often lost in her own world. However, her manners and politeness would earn her a place of respect within the Scooby Gang, even if Giles would at times shake his head at her whimsicality.

- There would be a sense of competition between both Buffy and Drusilla, especially if others turn to the other for Slayer related tasks. They would constantly compare themselves to one another, grappling with their own insecurities and perceiving the other as better. The fact they share the same Birthday would further amplify their respective unease. Subsequently, Drusilla’s emotions would begin to mirror Buffy's sentiments upon growing jealous of the friendship between Buffy and Willow, longing for a similar connection with the latter. 

- Buffy and Drusilla do however harbour a genuine care for one another despite their jealousy. Naturally they would have an understanding of the burdens they carry as concomitant of being a Slayer, and recognise each other’s strength of character.

just ...... faith really hits because her incandescent rage at always coming second and never being able to measure up to buffy has such an interesting vibe if you consider the fact that she was never allowed to be considered one of buffy’s greatest loves! the title goes to angel, and then almost to spike, and never ever to faith. even if you don’t wanna read it as romantic it is UNDENIABLE that faith and buffy’s emotjonal connection was intense and important in the same way as buffy and angel's or buffy and spike's: faith understood a part of buffy that no one else did, a part of buffy that separated her from the rest of the world. and then faith fucked it up big time and her fear of losing her tenuous grip on a role she was only barely able to play meant that she doubled down into the role of the Bad Girl, because she knew that one intimately enough to inhabit it.

She’s a hero, you see. She’s not like us.

anne is ridiculous when you think about it. buffy summers really got stuck in a hell dimension, and just like that started a revolution and walked back out. what a character.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer » Welcome to the Hellmouth 

↳ It’s my first day. I was afraid that I was gonna be behind on all my classes, that I wouldn’t make any friends, that I would have last month’s hair. I didn’t think there’d be vampires on campus.

Within the show itself we briefly observe how the core Scoobies react upon discovering their doppelgängers. Buffy and Willow’s are of particular interest as the entity upon which they encounter - the vampire - is the underlying reason for their convenes at the school library and thus, challenges the very foundation of the show. Already we have observed one slayer transmogrify into their vampire version, just imagine how increasingly onerous it would be to impose that on another slayer? Having an additional Slayer as a vampire would not only augment the caveats of a rogue slayer, but prove a challenge for the stolid Council. I personally would have loved seeing Kendra and Faith’s vampire counterparts to further corroborate their polarities within the framework of Buffy’s dual nature.
