A prompt request in case it inspires you. Loving your Btvs/ST stuff and now I can't stop thinking. Mungrove with Vampire Slayer Billy (or The Slayer Billy) and vampire Eddie
HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO [HEAVY METAL SCREAM] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
rating: G/PG warnings: none really lotta swearing tho words: 2,404 pairing: Billy Hargrove x Eddie Munson
no Ao3 link atm bc i'm lazy and this is just SO bespoke. i genuinely don't know what i wanna do with all the stranger things/buffy the vampire slayer crossover stuff in my head djksdfgdfs. i'll make a post for the ao3 link if i ever make one.
NOTE: this is a TRANSGIRL!BILLY EXPERIENCE! slayer lore is a "girls only" thing which, when you expand that past late 90s mainstream acceptable progressivism i've always interrupted as people who have a female spirit/vibe/essence/whatever the fuck. basically not bio-femaleness but idk like gender vibes. (i'll also say i'm nonbinary myself and the blood i sweat over this gordian knot is ridiculous and this is what i have thus far so we're running with it)
it's also my first time writing a transwoman character so i hope i did right by the girlies. lemme know if anything should be edited!
Billie should’ve slayed Eddie years ago. He was basically the one smudge on her otherwise perfect slayer record. She couldn’t find it in her to do it thought no matter how much she tried. Sure they’d gone at each other a few times, a murder attempt here or there from either side but honestly none of it was all that serious. Their fights always seemed to fall apart though by the end so at this point they just didn’t bother with it really.
If she was being honest there was more to it then just that. For a dead guy Eddie was full of life, bright and charming and just so excited about things. Billie spend so much of her life hunting things down, being hunted, beating the shit out of things, getting the shit kicked out of her, killing things and trying not to get killed back herself. It was dark and lonely most of the time, even if she’d never trade it back for her old life it didn’t mean she didn’t wish she had more in her life than death. And while she’d never admit it to a soul, Eddie made her feel alive.
The majority of vampires seemed stuck in time but while Eddie’s style hadn’t changed much since the 70s, he was different. He was handsome with big brow doe eyes, lean bodied with a wavy brown shag he hadn’t changed in like, 20 years, but still looked really good on him. But he was dynamic in a way the others weren’t. His look wasn’t stagnation, it was preference. Billie had always liked how his hands where bigger than hers, even if it was just by a little. He’d somehow talked her into letting him give her some guitar lessons (yes dumb idea vampire near neck, she knew this. We’ve already established the Eddie weak spot here though) and she couldn’t stop coming back to how long and pretty his hands were, how they covered hers nicely when he helped her work out all the strings and movements.
btvs where everything’s basically the same but buffy dates steve in college and not riley
steve would also fit the “guy scooby” well but also---NEW TRAIN. LITERALLY JUST THOUGHT OF THIS WOW--
STEVE AS THE COLLEGE BOYFRIEND FOR BUFFY INSTEAD OF RILEY HOLY SHIT--
like.... he’s Just Some Fucking Guy from the midwest like riley but unlike riley who is Just Some Fucking Guy (derogatory) he’s Just Some Fucking Guy (affectionate)
like you can even keep the idea that he’s coming from ANOTHER small town with fucked up shit in it and that’s something him and buffy can bond over when they find out each other’s secrets. and i mean?!?!?!!?! reformed jock with reformed cheerleader??!???!!? he’d be SUCH a good boyfriend, actually kinda good back up and never get intimidated by her slayerness. could also probably infiltrate the initiative pretty okay tbh. his banter with willow and tara would also be next level. “we’re lesbians” “oh i know one of those!”
the dawn vs steve babysitting cage match of the era tho
rip spike i’m sorry if steve’s in town you wouldn’t have a chance buffy would be obsessed with her totally mid tier lil guy lol
i’m increasingly obsessed with the idea of billy and buffy being step siblings. like taking the eh episode that is ted and taking what is was supposed to be talking about (your parent getting involved with an abuser and no one believes you until it’s too late) and have it be neil. have the hargoves move in (+max shh it’s the law you can’t break up the billy-max siblingship) and it be so fucking tense between the summers girls and especially billy. max they warm up to fine, billy is another story.
billy and buffy not liking each other at all and her being so annoyed that he’s Like That and them constantly fighting. all while neil is being even controlling and shit to her and dawn now that he’s got more control. buffy getting chewed out by neil over her bad grade and yeah her dad sucks but at least he’s not neil. billy just being like “welcome to fucking family” when she complains.
they convert the basement into a room for Billy and his weights and the house they use for filming btvs has 4 bedrooms irl so the girls all get rooms upstairs.
then buffy comes home one day and billy’s on the floor very obviously just beaten up and max is ghost white and dawn is crying and there’s a bruise on her mother’s cheek and she’s just. standing there. blown away.
she’s the slayer. she protects people. she should be able to stop anything. but this is happening in her home and she’s helpless against it. because she’s not supposed to hurt humans right? but then how can she not when this is what’s happening? how can she not take on neil to protect her family. so the next time neil starts shit she steps in and when he tries to hit her she just goes off like in ted and accidentally kills him. buffy fully losing herself over it while billy comes over and comforts her because frankly he’s glad neil’s gone. for the first time in his life he feels like he can breathe.
joyce officially having custody of the hargrove kids and everyone just being miles happier. billy and buffy becoming friends and real siblings and stuff. billy comforting her and protecting her when angelus shit happens. billy and eddie becoming super close friends (bc this is ofc the au where eddie replaces xander in the plot). billy getting his camaro and the whole family has a little party for him.
s3 rolls around and billy gets possessed as part of the mayor’s ploys to get buffy of his back while he gets ready for the ascension and it’s all a metaphor for the cycles of abuse and the behaviors learned from abusers and he’s saved with love and compassion and doesn’t die. billy and faith having some kinda something going. another weird mirror-foil-shadow self thing going on there lol.
buffy and dawn acting like billy’s so ugh lame and gross while also bragging about how cool he is and yeah, he’s got a camaro.
dawn and max being an unholy goblin duo from day 1 committing all sorts of crimes against nature. just unimaginable amount of hijinks. max asking buffy to teach her some cool fighting moves. dawn following billy around like a puppy because he’s sooooo cooooolllll and she’s all excited to have a cool older brother and he goes with it bc it’s an ego boost. billy standing up for buffy during dead man’s party bc he Gets It.
Billy stepping up as a caretaker in s5 and handling the household shit after joyce dies because he knows buffy can’t handle it and slaying all at once. and like he loved joyce sure and he’s broken up but it’s different for him and he can handle this side of things easier bc of that. Billy, Spike and Eddie all hanging out and smoking and listening to metal and punk and talking n shit.
like as you can see............ I’M THINKING THOUGHTS.
i’m just saying......there’s a thought here............. a vibe..........
i have more ideas about a btvs-st crossover
now i gotta know your thoughts on eddie and oz friendship!! oz was one of my faves ;_;
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS WE'RE GETTING INTO THE CONTENT I CRAVEEEEE
for one thing i think they're really good friends. in some variations of how st and btvs crossover oz plays in corroded coffin. he's still exactly the same tho so that's part of the fun lol.
i think they have HUGE Those Two Guys Energy™. they're really good friends and totally incomprehensible to all of society but not each other. eddie cannot shut up, oz barely says anything. oz would put more effort into helping eddie with his school work than he does his own and they both repeat the year anyway lol. huge amounts of music talk no one fucking gets.
eddie would be really cool and supportive when he gets turned into a werewolf and probably the one person oz actually confides in about the shit he's struggling with when it comes to the whole wolf thing.
they are BEST BROS!!!!!!!! they have NOTHING IN COMMON!!!!!!! BUT THEIR VIBES ARE SO FUCKING FRESH!!!!!!!!!!!
