Anyway I'm thinking of Tommy and Buck in Sunnydale, Buck as a freshman whose sister Maddie is a senior and the Slayer and Tommy as a senior and football vice-captain. Bobby is her Watcher and Athena the chief of the local police department, so she can decide who works on which cases.

And the thing is that Maddie and Tommy became friends in freshman year because she saved his life from a vamped cheerleader, and he keeps her from being harassed by the others because he's literally the Coolest Hottest Football Star in school. He disapproved of Doug but Maddie was stubborn about it, saying she liked being "just a girl" with Doug (who knows Maddie is very strong and uses that to get her to "behave more like other girls").

Tommy's lab partner Chim likes Maddie but he also knows not to force the issue. Karen is basically gonna be valedictorian, everyone knows that, and Hen finds her annoying (that means Hen can't stop thinking about her), and Tommy loses $20 to Chim when Hen and Karen finally kiss in one of the life-threatening encounters

Tommy gets to know Maddie's younger brother back when he was just a kid, so he always sees Evan as a kid. Over the holidays between Tommy's junior and senior year, Maddie ran away after her boyfriend Doug tried to kill her (and he wasn't even a vampire, just evil) and she had to kill him in self defense, and the Buckleys basically fell apart; Evan went away with his parents until the school year began and he comes back as a freshman but Maddie is still missing. Evan gets picked on for being Murdering Maddie's brother and Tommy takes Evan under his wing, lets Evan hang with him and even trains Evan well enough to play football so he can keep an eye on the kid.

Except feelings grow and they do end up dating in secret. Evan's first kiss and his first time having sex are with Tommy, and Tommy feels guilty because he hasn't come out to anyone and he doesn't want to, because if he does he's gonna lose his vice-captaincy and maybe a football scholarship.

But then football captain Larry comes out, and Tommy realizes that maybe he can come out too, but before he does, Maddie comes back and she disapproves of Evan being involved in the slaying biz. Days before graduation it all comes to a head and Tommy and Maddie clash about it. Then the big secret is revealed and Maddie's too shocked by it and the Buckleys are so furious, they threaten to call the police on Tommy to accuse him of sexual assault on their son, and Tommy runs away from Sunnydale via enlistment in the army after the big battle.

It's only until college that Evan (Buck by then) meets Tommy again — except Tommy is now in the Initiative

Somewhere I read that Sarah initially auditioned for Cordelia and how Charisma originally auditioned for Buffy (idk how true this is I forgot where I read it) but that made me think what if Cordy was the slayer?

Low key need someone to write this because slayer!Cordy would be so fun.

Imagine if the show had been about Buffy, Kendra and Faith as a trio of Slayers. 👀

Here's my fantasy post-btvs/angel world where no one died and the comics never happened

Buffy still fights against the forces of darkness but, since she's not the only slayer anymore, she's allowed to take breaks and not deal with every apocalypse by herself. She also gets paid monthly, along with all the new slayers.

Dawn went to study abroad and is now head of the new and reformed watchers council, where she works with Giles and Andrew delivering missions to the different slayers.

Also Dawn came out as a lesbian during college, and Tara was the first person she told.

Buffy and Spike are together, taking things slow and talking every step of the way (think their relationship in season 10 and 11, that's the only thing i can accept as canon from the mess that were the comics).

Spike works along with Buffy, they patrol together, and he still meets up with Clem for kitten poker (although he can't bear to eat the kittens when he wins)

Faith and Buffy have become really good friends, they're the only ones who know what being a slayer was before when there was only one, and they've bonded over their experiences and now get together quite often for coffee. Faith also works as a slayer so sometimes they go on missions together.

Tara and Willow live in a lovely cottage in the countryside and still help out on the fight whenever needed. Most of the time they sell potions and spells-in-a-bottle to the slayers.

Oz transitioned and now she and her new girlfriend are invited over to Willow and Tara's house every week for dinner and board games.

Anya now runs her own magic shop in L.A. She's going on dates but is mostly enjoying her independence. She's still in touch with the scooby gang but she has also made new friends in L.A.

Season 4 and 5 of Angel never happened so Cordelia, Fred and Wesley are alive and still working for Angel Investigations along with Gunn and Lorne.

Angel got to raise Connor since he was a baby with the help of his team, and Connor grew up surrounded by love

Cordelia and Anya reunite in L.A. and get together for drinks quite often to bitch about life for a few hours.

Harmony is thriving. So is drusilla.

I don't care how Xander is doing.

i’ve shared some btvs au thoughts before, but i think i can expand:

ilya as spike. this is just nonnegotiable to me

however. stay with me. shane as riley—the prodigy of a macho hierarchical organization who thrives on routine and has bodily autonomy issues

continuing that thread, rose is buffy, who dated shane after her last romance with a vampire fell through but she still breaks up with him bc he’s gay (and because he’ll keep the other annoying vampire distracted)

so who was this vampire ex? why, the first of the hr cast to be vamped, marleau

svetlana is drusilla but more as in how she’s defined by her relationship with ilya/spike, just because the angel-drusilla story and dynamic doesn’t map onto marleau and her

sasha shares the drusilla role in that he rolls up sometimes, causes chaos and then leaves

hayden is one of shane’s initiate buddies who defects with him, but slots into a xander-type support role afterwards

in honor of jackie le fay posting she’s the willow of the group, up to the reader whether she and pike end up together or end up being comphet before getting together with svetlana

scott & kip… i’m honestly at a loss. is one a watcher? a reluctant vampire? an ex vengeance demon?

wait. TROY is the ex demon. harris is there too, maybe picking up the technology threads of willow’s character

btvs au in which Buffy does not accept her fate to meet the Master and chooses to instead tie up the anointed one when he shows up, thinking that the Master will arrive for her to surprise. she's not going down without a fight. so she’s there, sitting on a park bench in her pretty dress with a tied up kid beside her, trap laid and ready to go, waiting for sunrise and the master to appear. but when he doesn’t, when the kid crumbles to ash and she realizes that nothing happened, she storms into Giles' office, alive and well, and comes to terms with the fact that the Prophecy didn't see her as a Slayer, it saw her as a pawn, which starts her distancing from the Council and their guidance much earlier.

it also, hilariously enough, keeps the Master as the easiest bait on the Hellmouth because vampires are constantly trying to curry favor by trying to set him free and now the Master is stuck in his damp little cave listening to the nightly staking of every sycophant in the area, complete with quippy one liners even he has to admit can be pretty funny.

of course this situation ends up getting wild when Spike arrives with Drusilla in tow to heal her and check out what the hell is going on with his great great grandsire. and he sees this little blonde girl absolutely whaling on like six vampires at once and making easy work of the lot. and Spike's eyes light up, because this is no newbie, this is a true Slayer. and he doesn't want to lay some easy trap, no no, he needs something special for her. he wants dance again.

so he plans to sneak into the caves to speak with that old bloodbag one night when Buffy isn't there (look even she can't guard there all night long) to get answers about both the Sunnydale Slayer and the ritual. but the Master tries to play a game with him, saying he'll only give information when Spike sets him free. and Spike doesn't love the idea of letting that stodgy old man out to lord over him and everyone else so he starts to plot...and anything could happen with the Master in the mix!

A BtVS and Batfam crossover fic would be so fucking dope. Like imagine instead of being Robin, they’re slayers instead, but instead of slaying vampires they just have a duty to like fight crime and shit. They still have powers and stuff tho. Bruce is their watcher (or maybe Alfred cuz he’s British, idk). And like maybe all of them died temporarily at one point, so now there’s just more and more slayers. Maybe Dick died briefly when he was shot, and then Jason became the slayer. When Jason died, Tim was called, idk how he would die but it would probably be only for a few minutes. Steph becomes the slayer, dies during the Gang Wars before Leslie revives her, then Damian comes along. Idk I haven’t put much thought into this but I feel like it would interesting.
