DAWN: You wanna know what I'm scared of Spike? Me. Right now Glory thinks Tara's the key. But I'm the Key, Spike. I am. And anything that happens to Tara is 'cause of me. Your bruises, your limp, that's all me too. I'm like a lightning rod for pain and hurt and everyone around me suffers and dies. I must be something so horrible, to cause so much pain and evil.
SPIKE: Rot.
DAWN: What do you know?
SPIKE: I'm a vampire. I *know* something about evil. You're not evil.
DAWN: Maybe I'm not evil. But I don't think I can be good...
SPIKE: Well, I'm not good. And I'm okay.

Three Dog Night Series [FRAO]
by skuzzbopper
At least Spike looked amused, which was better than disgusted. He flipped the book open again, apparently picking a page and paragraph at random, and reciting: “Creatures of a more malevolent nature are given to fits of obsession, often focusing most of the attention they do not reserve for survival on a very specific goal. Once that goal is reached, they will move to another goal, usually related, but sometimes not. Goals are essential for the life of an immortal creature, as they serve to give purpose for their existence.” He shut the book, tossing it to the table on its back. “Complete and utter tripe.”
“Says the guy who went all suicidal when he found out he couldn’t kick ass anymore.”
“Kicking arse is not a goal. It’s a lifestyle.” With a smirk, the vampire rested his arms on the back of Xander’s chair, angling his chin so that he was too close—close enough to whisper in his ear. “So, who’s yer bloke?”
“I—Um—Wait, What?”
“Yer bloke.” Spike drawled, accent pulling the word out until its letters stretched soft and easy. “Th’one you’re plannin’ on seducing. Thinkin’ about gettin’ a little dangerous, yeah? So, who with?”
Oh God—His brain when blank, Spike’s closeness making it impossible to breathe, let alone think. Because if Spike didn’t realize that he was the only one Xander had ever wanted to “get a little dangerous” with, then he must be as thick as he was hot. And everybody knew that Spike couldn’t be that thick.

ANYA: We're just kinda thrown by the you-having-sex-with-Spike.
BUFFY: The who whatting how with huh?
ANYA: Okay, that's denial. That usually comes before Anger.
BUFFY: I am not having sex with Spike!
ANYA: Anger.
XANDER: No one is judging you. It's understandable. Spike is strong & mysterious & sorta compact but well muscled.
BUFFY: I am *not* having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that *you* might be!

The Sunnydale Herald, Wednesday
by Menomegirl (9 May 2012)
I have people, in my life, on this site, in places I've yet to discover, that always made me feel the truth of success: an artist and an audience communicating. Communicating to the point of collaborating. I've thought, "maybe I'm over; maybe I've said my piece". But never with fear. Never with rancor. Because of y'all. Because you knew me when. If you think topping a box office record compares with someone telling you your work helped them through a rough time, you're probably new here. (For the record, and despite my inhuman distance from the joy-joy of it: topping a box office record is super-dope. I'm an alien, not a robot.) So this is me, saying thank you. All of you.

DAWN: I like being useful. Keep my minds off things.

Blood Roses [FRT]
by Essene
Dru let her fingertips dance over velvet soft petals. Drank in the boquet’s vivid color and felt her pulse quicken at the thought he’d put into them. They were artfully arranged at the table’s center, long stems adorned with wicked thorns.
She spun with a delighted flourish, reaching for him, “They’re beautiful my precious.”
“Only the best for my girl.” Lips parted with desire, he drew his dark beauty close.
“Where did you get them?”
Spike’s eyes flicked towards the girl who lay prone in the corner, stray stems protruding from her neck. “Let’s just say they were…donated.”
