Haven’t posted in a bit but I’m thinking about the concept of Angel/Dru/Darla in this verse and how that would pan out lmao.
The brain goes places while reading the fic of others.

Forward Without Seeing Sneak Peek
I’m not 100% sure what to call this but I figured I needed to put this somewhere for the time being. What I’m going to post bellow is the episode order from Season 6 which is GREATLY changed from the original season 6.
...“I love you.”
That just caused him to smile at her in this soft way that Buffy though was only reserved for her, “I love you too pet. With all my undead heart.”
It was hard for her to believe that this was her life, “I know.” Kissed him one more time before rolling off him, “The crazy part is how much.”
Denial was a thing of the past. This was her here and her now. It felt solid. Or as solid as it could be with the life that she lived. Things were fleeting with her. A whole shipyard. A navy of fleeting things. For now, and for as long as it lasted - she wanted Spike to be her harbor. And god, wasn’t that cheesy? Too cheesy, “What can I do to help take your mind off the thorns in your side?” He asked her, “Beyond the obvious of course.”
“Drinks and an awful B movie.” She answered him.
“Yeah?”
She nodded. Buffy had rituals with all her boyfriends and all of them had been different. With Spike it was fighting and sex, but also bad movies and drinks and him reading her stories he had grown up with. Some she had as well. Parts of it were traditional, but there were parts of it that were not. And maybe that was what she had needed all along, some strange middle ground, “Ask me again.” She told him, “Ask me again why I’ll always love you.”
“Why do you love me?”
There was the aw in his eyes again, “Because something this good could never be wrong.”
And nothing felt more like the truth to her in that moment.
+ Buffy/Spike “Seeing Red” - Season 6, Episode 19 (Recontextualizing Seeing Red Through Dialogue, Forward Without Seeing Verse New Scene)
Things I think abt re: Story post Forward Without Seeing -
AU but still mostly the same post AtS Season 5 Wesley (who survived) seeing very AU Cordelia from my fic, who is now basically a watcher, and watching her tear into some asshole who doesn’t know demons at all - in the way that only Cordelia can and getting very turned on all over again despite how terribly things went between them last time VERSUS Cordelia turning around to see that Wesley has gotten very rugged and is far from the man she last saw in Sunnydale and also getting very turned on ...
FIGHT
Happy Valentine's Day from the Forward Without Seeing Verse!

“Maybe we need a vote... to see who wants Faith to have a turn in charge.” Kennedy said agreeing with the potential who spoke before.
“No.” Dawn said.
“Maybe we should.” Buffy eventually spoke - voice soft.
Dawn turned on her, “No. They don’t get to decided that. They don’t get to do this to you. This is our home. You’re the best one to lead us. I know you are. You’ve proven that so many times Buffy. I was there on that tower with you. You didn't know this was a popularity contest -”
“It ain’t about popularity.” Faith said.
And maybe Faith was right. Maybe she really had failed as a leader. Maybe it was time she gave up. Found a hovel and let the end come, when it came. She was spent. Dawn turned to glare at Faith, “You're just enjoying this, aren't you?”
“You have no idea what I'm feeling.” Faith told her.
“You come in here - try to take everything from Buffy. Like you’re not some stranger. Did you tell them how you used to kill people for fun? Almost got me killed tonight too!”
Buffy stepped forward to touch Dawn’s arm, “Dawn that’s enough.” When Dawn turned to look at her, Buffy could see that her sister was on the verge of crying face just slightly flushed red, and the sight of her sister near tears just made everything so much worse.
“I didn't come here to take anything away from your sister, but I'm not gonna be her little lapdog, either. I came here to beat the other guy, to do right, however it works. I don't know if I can lead. But the real question is...can she follow?”
Buffy didn’t think that she could.
