If Spike and Buffy got married, what would their last names be? I think Spike would want to be Mr. Buffy Summers.

AHH i’ve actually spent too much of my life thinking about this 😭 in my opinion they would never ever marry in the traditional sense (because they’re too queer and unconventional in the first place. but also, who would they truly want to display their love before? i’d imagine if they did, they’d have just willow, dawn and clem as witnesses or something. everybody else disrespected them or disavowed their connection so hard that i honestly don’t think they deserve to share in their intimacy like that. their love has always been for them alone) but i absolutely could see them having some sort of unconventional ring exchange and devoting themselves to eachother. again, something private and just for them.

‘spike summers’ has always been the loveliest pseudonym for him to me because he feels so much love, pride and loyalty towards not just buffy, but all of the summers women. and i really think it would be like the ultimate honour to him to be named after/alongside them. embraced by people he respects, given a family and sense of community that he never really had.

‘buffy pratt’ isn’t.. terrible, but i think that’s honestly just my love for spike speaking. i just don’t really think it does anything for buffy; i don’t think spike needs to embrace that old part of himself to the point that it needs to be demonstrated in every extension, and after all, william pratt is, unfortunately, long dead. buffy is marrying spike, all the parts of him, not just the sweet but timid man he used to be exclusively. she loves him for all parts of him, the whole point in their story is her embracing her darkness, her monster. anyway, i never believe in a female lead losing her reputable name for the sake of being noticeably attached to their male counterpart, and spike already plays the traditional part of the female role in their dynamic so well. also, ‘william pratt’ always felt like a cruel writing joke in the first place to me, akin to ‘william the bloody’ and ‘spike’ really originating in how he was bullied in life — prat is uk slang for fool, essentially </3.

so i think in still embracing the William parts of himself but accepting his evolved self as Spike, Spike Summers is the ultimate emblem of his evolution and devotion to his forever life as buffy’s lover, seated forever at the right hand of the slayer.

The Basket

This was my entry for SAD's Sooky September challenge. I was going to do more with it, but since she's already posted there might as well here.

Inspired by S4's episode "Fear Itself" When Xander asks Buffy what she's got in the basket :)

@wickedlehane is getting a #tequilamom starter. because reasons.

Sliding her glass across the island of Faith's kitchen, Buffy motioned for the other Slayer to refill her glass -- a slice of lime ready and waiting. "You would think I kicked her puppy. Not that we have a puppy. But still. The way Sara acts you would think I was a serial puppy kicker. Ruined her life. She actually said those words to me. Told me that her father and I ruined her life by moving her here..."

Glass refilled, Buffy downed the liquid in one before biting the lime and tossing it into the trash. "James seems perfectly happy. Even has himself a girlfriend. Or something. He doesn't tell me. And why should he? I'm all old now. I'm an old life ruiner."

Spike finally showed up and he’s such an asshole I can’t wait to fall in love with him.
