_______________________________________________

“Heyy bubs~! Whatchu’ doing tonight?” “Jennie I already told you i’m not going to that damn party” Jennie whined as Y/N grabbed her books to put them in her tote bag. “Why not! We could go and get the dress we’ve been DYING to get .. I know what this is about” “So tell me Jennie, what is it about?” “Your body. You look good Y/N” Y/N sighed, resting her head on her hand whose elbow was on the desk in front of her.

Although Y/N lost the weight she wanted, she was still thick in some places .. all of the compliments she got on her body shape and how her figure curved her perfectly, her insecurities yet still showed. She’s limited herself going to places that involved other people. Especially her age and around her campus. Her thighs ..

Her biggest insecurity of all.

“Way to bring that up Jennie, thanks” “I’m not saying it like that cmon! Look — you look amazing! You know how many people would DIE for a body like that!? You know they jealous, and they know you got power BECAUSE of how you look! If i could exchange bodies with you I WOULD! I want those thighs! THAT ASS!? We gotta go!” Y/N sighed, rolling her eyes at the positive compliments that filled her ears.

“I don’t know .. were you invited?” “Yea by Taehyung! And he said I could bring a plus one” “And that’s me?” “You know my mission these past 4 years at this damn college was to see you in a fucking dress” While Jennie was trying to persuade Y/N, Jungkook and his boys were planning something… not quite as exciting.

“There she is, this your chance” “Guys I don’t like this, she’s the sweetest girl I know she doesn’t deserve it” “Joon quiet, Jungkook needs to go ahead and do this” Yoongi interrupted Namjoon, looking at the emotionless boy who was looking at Y/N from afar. “You on board?” Jungkook hummed, walking up to her as the boys cheered quietly. “This isn’t cute, at all. She doesn’t deserve this” “Don’t fuck this up Joon” Namjoon rolled his eyes, going up behind Jungkook.

“Hey sweetpea, what you doing tonight?” Jungkook started. “Hearing there’s a party going around .. who’s hosting?” “It’s mine love, and i’ve come to invite you personally” Jennie’s eyes widened, looking at Y/N who practically is begging her to say yes. “And why should I?” “I’ll be there” Y/N’s eyes went to Namjoon as she smiled sweetly. “Hey Joonie” “You doing ok?” “I’m hanging in there, despite Ms girl over here trying to get me to leave my apartment” Jennie rolled her eyes, crossing her arms.

“I want her to come with me! Please go!” Y/N thought about it, looking into Jungkook’s stern eyes as she sighed quietly. “8pm?” “Make sure you come see me when you arrive” Y/N huffed, making up her mind. “Alright, i’ll be there” Jennie and Jungkook did a high five as Namjoon shook his head in disbelief. “I’ll meet you” “Can’t wait” Namjoon was going to say something but out of jealousy, Jungkook pulled him by the arm and dragged him to their crew.

“YOU JUST GOT INVITED BY JUNGKOOK !? Y/N you’re a lucky girrrlll ~” “Oh please … he ain’t all that” What a lie she told. “Now we have to go buy these outfits!” “Well since I agreed to this, it wouldn’t hurt to do a little shopping” Jennie squealed, grabbing our things and walked out with Y/N out the room. Jungkook couldn’t keep his eyes off of her, seeing her walk out already made him become such a boy.

“Hey, snap out of it yea ? You got a little game to play” Hoseok said, snapping his fingers in his face before him and some of the boys left the circle and out the room. “Kook, don’t let them pressure you” “I’m not! It was my idea anyway” “But not Y/N! That was Yoongi’s stupid idea! Don’t let him get in your head I KNOW you have some sort of feelings for her” Jungkook rolled his eyes, looking at the door she went out of. “I don’t like her��� “I know when a man is turning into a little boy when i notice it, you like that woman. She’s the best thing that’ll ever happen to you”

“It’s a dare hyung relax, i’ll be in and out in a heartbeat” Jungkook finished before walking out the door and Namjoon sighed, walking behind him. He didn’t like this. At all.

Time Skip - 8 pm

“Alright Alright Alright let’s see how we look- oh my goodness” Jennie stopped in her tracks, looking at her best friend as she was putting on her finishing touches on her face. “Y/N?” the woman turned around, smiling sweetly at Jennie as she came out her bathroom. “You like it?” “I-I love it! You look amazing I TOLD YOU!” Y/N laughed, looking at herself in the huge mirror in front of her.

The white body con dress hugged her curves perfectly, the body oil radiating perfectly in the light off her skin. “You look, beautiful. White is your color Y/N” “You think so?” “I know so boo, they’re gonna love you!” Jennie complimented her, grabbing her purse and phone having both of their belongings. “You ready?” “Yes maam let’s go” They got in the white mercedes they were driving to the destination and drove off to the address that was sent to Jennie.

Soon, they arrived, both getting out the crowd to hear the music banging loudly from the outside. “You ready?” Y/N hummed in agreement, the two best friends linking arms and made their way towards the door. “Ladies” They both smiled sweetly at the tall man who let them inside and soon the music filled their ears. They observed, seeing everyone laughing, dancing, drinking, smoking, and even being freaks in the corners of the huge house.

“Oh wow … you comfortable?” “Oh please, be as comfortable as you possibly can!” The two women looked and saw a man they both recognized. “Kai!” “My two beautiful queens” the two hugged Kai at the same time with comfort. “What brings you here!?” “I was invited! By Jimin of course, Jungkook hates my guts” “Oh no he doesn’t!” “Says who? And you Ms maam .. might just have too, you’re looking sexy in this dress” Y/N’s cheek were a rose color at Kai’s compliment as Jennie squealed in excitement.

“I TOLD YOU!” “Thank you Kai I appreciate it, you like it seriously?” “Of course my love, didn’t think you had a body like this huh?” Kai had Y/N’s hand in the air, Y/N doing a cute little spin as the 3 chuckled. Having fun in the conversation, they didn’t notice Jungkook glaring them down like a hawk, infuriation rising in him at the skin contact. “You guys want some drinks?” “They’re good Kai thank you for playing fucking butler” Jungkook jumped in, glaring Kai down as he got in front of him.

“Jennie Taehyung’s waiting for you by the bar” Jennie quickly left and it was just Jungkook and Y/N. “And this is what you decided to wear?” “Oh you’re mad because I look good huh? What’s the problem ?” “C-Cmon! I didn’t think you would pull this move” Y/N smirked, feeling her confidence rising in her.

Looks like he’s falling out of character.

“I think i’ll have Kai get me that drink then” “Don’t play with me” Jungkook took her hand and guided her through the crowd to the bar where his friends were at.

The night went on for the whole crowd, everyone having a great time. But Jungkook still has yet to get on with his mission. “What’s wrong kook” Jungkook looked to his side to see Jimin. “N-Nothing man” Jimin scoffed, looking at Jungkook like he was dumb. “I’m not stupid man, is it Y/N?” Jungkook sighed, rolling his eyes. “Y…Yea” Jimin sighed as well, putting his cup down beside him on the counter. “Listen, you can pretend you’re this fuckboy if you want, that’s your decision. You got all these girls wrapped around your finger. But Y/N?” Jungkook’s eyes were set on the woman who was dancing slowly, but sensually with Jennie on the big space in the middle of the house.

“She’s a gem. And whatever the fuck Yoongi’s talking about is nonsense. Y/N isn’t the one to play with, she has people who care about her. And i’ll be damned you break her off for a fucking bet because you wanted to have fun” Jimin’s was voice was stern, and it pierced in Jungkook’s ears as his eyes was still on her.

It was still a dare the boys agreed on … but part of him doesn’t like it too much.

Jungkook handed Jimin his cup, slowly walking past the crowd, coming up behind Y/N in a short amount of time. Jennie peeped quickly and slowly went away when Y/N felt a pair of hands slither around her waist, feeling a soft sigh hit her neck and ear. She peeped the familiar scent, her body coming at ease as she felt the arms sway her to the rhythm of the song.

(Warm of Embrace - Chris Brown)

The two danced for a little, Jungkook falling inlove with how she controlled her body with his, feeling her angel like hand come to the glistening cheek of his to caress it. Y/N turned around, wrapping her arms around his neck as Jungkook looked deep into her eyes . “Looks like someone’s been looking forward for this one” Jungkook’s body was hot, filled with need,

and Guilt.

“You can say that .. been wanting you to myself if i put in my words” Jungkook whispered ever so soft in her ears, kissing her earlobe gently. Y/N peeped Jennie’s eyes and her eyes told her to make the bold move she’s been wanting to make. Y/N grabbed all the courage in the world, running her hands in his long, black dyed hair and grabbed his hand with security. “I think I could guess that” Y/N whispered back, leading him to the stairs as Jungkook’s heart was beating even more heavy than before.

He caught Yoongi’s eyes, seeing the smirk plastered on his face. And he hated it. But saw Jimin beside him, giving him the look he understood immediately. The more stairs they climbed, the lower floor disappeared to them. Y/N opened the room to Jungkook’s room, And Jungkook couldn’t wait anymore.

Jungkook shut the door and picked her up by her legs, smashing his lips against hers hearing the desperate moans coming from the woman he was holding. “Put me d-down-“ “Stop it Y/N” Jungkook made it to the bed, laying her down on her back as their lips never broke their connection. Jungkook’s body was officially over temperature, sucking on her neck and hearing her whine in desperation was making him needy alone.

Y/N clawed his now naked back as Jungkook kissed and sucked all over the exposed skin. “Who the fuck told you to wear this” “I-It was cute-“ Jungkook ripped it off of her, throwing it across the room and she was only left with her bra and panties.

Jungkook was officially in love.

“D-Don’t look too long-“ “No no stop it” Jungkook pinned her hands above her head to stop her from covering herself as he kissed the rest of her body. He unclipped her bra, taking one boob in his mouth and the other in his hand to play with which had Y/N squirming in pleasure. “F-Fuck! That feels good~” “Yea? She’s needy isn’t she, you’ve wanted this didn’t you” Jungkook husked, switching breasts making Y/N go crazy.

Jungkook’s hand snuck to her womanhood, rubbing it in slow circles which made the woman below him jerk at the suden move. “OH - Oh my goodness” “Oh someone likes that huh, feel my hand on that clothed pussy hm?” Jungkook’s hand rubbed harder, moving in faster circles hearing Y/N’s moans fill his ear.

Like music.

“Oouu like that, just like that fuck!” Jungkook tore her panties apart, spreading her thighs apart and her pussy was visible to him. “Can’t believe you hid this from me” Jungkook whispered to himself before taking her in his mouth, sucking her out with passion as he heard the moans and whines come from Y/N. She was going crazy. “J-Just like that fuuuckk! You-Your tongue, fuck!” That was motivation to Jungkook, going deeper into Y/N as his mind went blank.

It’s like he’s been waiting for this moment without waiting for this moment, he didn’t think it’ll be Y/N. Fuck “prey”.

He didn’t need to share this with no one else.

“I’m getting close! I’m not gonna l-last, kook!” “Cum for daddy baby, cum all over my tongue you can do it. My baby can do it, my good girl” Y/N’s body shuddered at the nicknames that filled her ears. That motivated her orgasm as it was getting near. “I-I’m gonna cum! I’m gonna cum daddy please!” Jungkook sucked harder, looking into her eyes as he caressed the thighs that was hugging him ever so slightly. And she came, her body shaking roughly at the powerful orgasm she had.

“Good girl, that’s my good girl” Y/N’s breath was heavy, looking into his eyes. “You did so well mama” “Really?” “You did amazing” Jungkook whispered, connecting their lips together as he starts grinding his hips against her causing them to both moan. “Fuck, you’re hard” “I have permission princess?” “You may” Y/N answered softly, Jungkook taking off his boxers and his hard cock sprung out. “That’s not fitting Jungkook” “I’ll go slow, but I can’t wait anymore baby” Jungkook responded, slowly sticking himself in.

“Ooou fuck! Slow, please” Jungkook groaned in pleasure as Y/N tugged him in just right. “Fuck, just right. Shit” Jungkook moaned out, finally getting all of him inside, balls deep. “You ok?” Y/N moaned, nodding at the question as Jungkook moved his hips in circles. “Tell me when I could move” Jungkook rasped, his tatted hand slithering up to Y/N’s neck. “Mmh, go ahead daddy” That name did something to Jungkook, his hips bucking roughly against Y/N hearing her shriek at the move.

“FUCK! Just like that, fuck me just like that daddy fuck!” “Yea there you go you taking that dick? You taking that dick for me huh?” Jungkook’s back was probably clawed from Y/N scratching him, but he didn’t care. The dare was out the window, he needed Y/N all to himself. He wasn’t letting her go.

Time passed, around the clock reaching the hour and 30 minute mark. Jungkook then had Y/N in doggy style, having her scream in ever so which way at the dick digging her deep inside her guts. “Fuck! Daddy it feels so good, it feels so fucking good!” “Feel that dick baby, i want you to cum on my cock again you can do it, my good girl” Jungkook couldn’t stop, his pace going by faster causing Y/N’s moans to louden itself at the change. Jungkook was too deep, her arch perfectly positioned, her hands blood red from grabbing the sheets with all her might, her pussy clenching around his needy cock.

He was a fucking caveman when it came to Y/N.

“I-I’m close! I’m close daddy i’m gonna cum! I’m gonna cum for you!” “Cum for me princess, you got it mama my good girl. My good fucking girl” Y/N felt her head go back, feeling her hair tugged and Jungkook’s cock going at a quicker pace in and out of her stomach. “I’m cumming! IM CUMMING!” Y/N then squirted all over his cock, hearing the evil chuckle that Jungkook let out. “Oohhh that’s my good girl, keep going for daddy keep going for me you got it. Let it out baby” She couldn’t stop, her eyes rolling at the back of her head as her rosy cheeks were now blood red.

Her body was hot and bothered, feeling Jungkook caress her booty meat and bruised hips from his grips. “L-Looks like i’m forgetting someone” Y/N panted out, turning around as she took him in her mouth once again, having Jungkook’s eyes roll all the way back. “Oou fuck that mouth. Shit, use it baby, make daddy nut” Y/N deep throated Jungkook.

And that did it for him.

“Fuck! Right there baby, i’m gonna cum, catch it in your mouth sweetheart” Y/N moaned around him and felt cum shoot inside her mouth, looking up at Jungkook as she took every drop. “So nasty, so nasty for me” Y/N took him out her mouth, smiling sweetly at him as she got on his eye level. “You’re ok? Let me clean you up” Jungkook had Y/N sit on the couch in the huge bedroom as Jungkook changed the seats and put on sum random sweats and put Y/N in one of his shirts.

Jungkook then pulled Y/N with him, sitting on the edge of the bed as Y/N towered over him. “So .. how was it?” “The best i’ve ever had. I don’t wanna let you go” Y/N’s eyebrows furrowed as he felt Jungkook’s hands caress her body through the fabric. “Let me take you out, tomorrow … i want the day to myself with you” Y/N’s smile brightened the room, feeling his hair getting gently stroked in between her fingers.

“Of course, i would love that. But why me?” “That’s something … i would rather save to tell you. Let me enjoy this moment” Jungkook gently responded, planting a soft kiss in between her breasts making her chuckle softly. “You’re sleeping with me, so you can lay down if you want to i’ll be with you in a moment” “You’re not coming with me?” “I will in a moment … i have some things to handle” Y/N hummed as he helped her get inside the new silk sheets he put on.

“I’m not going to sleep without you” “Then wait for me angel” Jungkook responded, kissing her head as he then left the room after dimming the light in the bedroom. He closed the door, letting out the biggest sigh of his life as he leaned against it.

He loved her … but doubtful thoughts fulfilled his head soon afterwards.

“Kook?” Jungkook looked to his right to see Namjoon peeping around the corner. Joon noticed the look and sighed as he went towards him. “You did it” Jungkook nodded, not giving eye contact. “But .. you did it, differently” Jungkook hesitated, but nodded in agreement soon afterwards. “I asked her out tomorrow, and i want her to myself … Yoongi can’t know” “Jungkook-“ “Please” Jungkook begged, finally giving Namjoon his eyes making Namjoon sigh.

“Alright, but Jungkook you need to come clean” “I will! But not right now and you need to keep shut, please” Joon sighed again, nodding as Jungkook ran his hands in his hair. “No one can know right now .. and as of right now, you don’t know either” Jungkook’s voice was determined, walking past Namjoon and went downstairs.

Namjoon was now stuck.

Today on Me Overthinking Inconsequential Details in Malevolent Dialogue:

Yellow doesn't say "the best friend you have"?? Infamously word for word repeating John's introduction, but no "best friend" line??

Is that because Yellow didn't kill Parker?? When John said that, was it a pointed comment in regards to having just killed and intending to replace Arthur's best friend??? I don't think he knew how close Arthur and Parker were atp, but what other difference was there??

So I wrote this next song a few days before my nineteenth birthday. And, um, back then, I was so terrified of change, and I was especially afraid of growing up. And I'd, like, cry at all my birthday parties as a child. Very, very emo.

Now that I'm 21, I don't feel afraid of growing up at all. In fact, I'm really, really looking forward to it. And, um, if I could give any advice to the 18-year-old girl who wrote this song, I'd tell her not to worry so much, and that she has no idea how many magical, magical things are waiting just around the corner for her. So, uh, with that, here's "teenage dream".

"So we're still pretty sure that Riko remembers too right?" Allison says into the bus with Seth slumped against her dead asleep. None of them were letting the senior out of sight any time soon.

"Considering everything with Millport? Pretty much 100%" Neil responds as Andrew continues to try and get Neil's hair under control after he fell asleep with it wet from their shower last night.

"So how rude are you going to be to him on Live television?" She asks.

"Hey, I'm not looking to deal with him being all weirdly obsessed again if it isn't and I don't even know what Riko would do if it is the one we had to deal with." Neil says and there is a pointed silence on the bus as everyone looks at Neil, "I can play nice on TV! I had media training!" Neil exclaims.

May 18th, 2025

Hello there, gentle viewers! Welcome back to Buffy Slays, where I’ll be going through all 144 episodes of BtVS over the course of a year, highlighting as many of the GOOD moments, lines, character choices, worldbuilding moments, etc. etc. as I think people will have the patience to read. 

So, here we go! 

Season 2, Episode 9, “What’s My Line? Part 1.”

As career week at school has Buffy wondering what her future may have been like, Spike hires three professional assassins to ensure she has no future at all. (Pulled from Hulu.)

If you're reading along and haven't finished the show, consider this your Spoiler Warning for discussion of future episodes and major plot points in any and all of these posts.

Episode Number: #21 Episode Ranking: #111 out of 144. Writer: Howard Gordon & Marti Noxon

Top 5 Quotes:

“What, and suck all the spontaneity out of being young and stupid? I'd rather live in the dark.” “You're not gonna be young forever.” “Yes, but I'll always be stupid.” —Xander and Willow

“Well, I’ll just jump off that bridge when I come to it.” —Buffy

“But the Order of Taraka, I mean, isn’t that overkill?” “No, I think it’s just enough kill.” —Dalton and Spike

“You know why? I am immature. I’m a teen, I have yet to mature.” —Buffy

“I am Kendra the vampire Slayer.” —Kendra

How “What’s My Line? Part 1” Slays:

This opening scene where the Scoobies take their aptitude tests is so fun. It’s snappy and quick and packs a lot in; Xander is irritated that there’s no “none of the above” answer, Buffy says she’s only here because Snyder isn’t happy unless she’s jumping through hoops, Willow comes down on the side of shrubs. It’s fun to watch, and fun to see their reactions, and it’s ALWAYS fun to see a mandatory school event that is just so inane and unimportant to all the supernatural stuff going on, but Snyder’s regime of power marches on, and we must participate in all the school activities.

Spike’s attitude, ricocheting from scary to loving and back to scary in the blink of an eye. He’s hollering at Dalton to make the text make sense, and snaps at Dru not to interrupt him while he’s working. But she starts falling, unable to stand anymore, and he’s instantly there, catching her and shushing her and sitting her down, earnestly apologizing for his temper like he always does. He kneels in front of her, takes her hand, kisses her gently, and when he stands up again, he’s still holding her hand, ready to threaten Dalton into finding the cure for his lady. He pores over that book until he finds the answers, but also sits with Drusilla in bed when she’s too weak to get out of it, watching as she plays with her Tarot cards. He tells her when she’s well again they’ll have a coronation for her, and when he finds her cure, he picks her up and twirls around with her, which is possibly my favorite Sprusilla moment, haha, because they look so sweet and young and in love, with his coat and her dress twirling, and we were robbed of having that for any other couple in this show.

Mr. Gordo makes his debut in this episode. He’s only mentioned in three episodes, but is a beloved character of the Buffyverse all the same. And I do enjoy that Buffy sneaks into her room out of habit to find Angel cuddling with her stuffed pig, which she gives him a hard time about!

Just like in the Witch episode, when Xander checks the board for his aptitude results, he checks for Willow and Buffy as well. He’s willing to dig his way through crowds to get answers his friends are waiting for so they don’t have to, and I love that about him. He also says that Buffy and Willow know him better than anyone, and asks if they agree with his placement as a prison guard.

Oz and Willow’s meet-cute. They were the only two smart enough for their aptitude tests to be irrelevant, and are the only two selected to meet with this fancy software tech guy. Oz is so delighted to see his mystery girl sitting on the couch with him, but all he does is offer her a plate of hors d'oeuvres, and they won’t have another scene until the following episode, lol.

Willy, as a character. Someone who gets one more episode than Ethan Rayne does, but he’s mentioned so often he may as well be a regular, haha. I love this guy for being a little silly, a little slimy, a lot funny, and someone we know absolutely nothing about. 

Giles is particularly parent-like in this episode, and I almost had a segment on it, except that I didn’t have anything new to say about it, other than point out the various ways he is. He doesn’t laugh when Buffy jokes about her death, and makes a point of telling her how unfunny that is. He also tries to encourage her when she complains about not having a future, suggesting that law enforcement might be a way she could continue being a Slayer and still have a job. He scolds Xander for making inappropriate jokes, and when Xander calls him asking how to get to Buffy’s house to check on her, Giles suggests asking Cordy to drive him. Willow falls asleep in the library while doing research, and he gently wakes her, telling her she’s gone above and beyond the call of duty. And I just… ugh, I’m never gonna stop saying this, but the way he was only meant to take care of his Slayer and ended up adopting all her friends as well is so amazing.

Buffy meets Oz in this episode when she’s paranoid about the Order. She grabs his throat and slams him up against a wall, daring him to “try it,” to his great confusion. She apologizes and runs, and Oz comments on what a tense person she is, but I love that it in no way affects his opinion and behavior around her later on. I’ll talk about the Oz and Buffy dynamic as soon as it comes up, but basically… I love their dynamic.

Buffy refers to Giles as Tony Robbins in this episode, as he goes on a “hyper-efficiency kick” in her training. Spike will refer to Adam as Tony Robbins in S4… which is a connection I’m making only because I have no idea who this guy is, and I’ve only heard his name from the lips of both halves of my OTP in this show!

Buffy’s ice skating scene. A lovely moment of peace and happiness and freedom for her that I don’t think she ever gets again, really. She gets a couple minutes of screentime to do it, as well, and I hope she got to skate as long as she wanted in real time, haha. Because she tells Angel that she had a whole ice skating phase when she was little, and wanted to be a professional. And the easy and free and happy way she skates in this scene… it’s just nice, to see her get that little slice of her normal, innocent life that she wants so badly. She kind of trips and falls on her butt at the end of the scene, but laughs at herself even though there’s no one around to see it, and I love her so much for it. 

Both Angel and Giles tell Buffy to run and hide rather than face the Order, something she adamantly tries to refuse, until their warnings start to really scare her. She kills one of them with an ice skate, however, and then goes to Angel’s house to feel safe while he investigates them for her. Kendra finds her sleeping there and tries to take an axe to her head… but her instincts wake her up. Because she’s really a very good Slayer, and could stay and fight the Order just fine! 

Kendra, the vampire Slayer. Someone we are again reminded could exist when Buffy brings up the fact that there can only be one as long as she’s alive. Someone who stowed away in the cargo hold of a plane rather than getting a ticket, lol, and is shown as someone possibly belonging to the Order of Taraka. Who’s all badass and no-nonsense, but tells Angel she thinks it’s funny when she locks him up to be exposed to sunlight. Who doesn't know what a chick fight is, but plunges into one anyway. Who Buffy says “You must be #2” to, thinking she’s from the Order… but even though she’s wrong about that, she’s right about the #2 part, haha. She is Slayer #2. 

The Futures They Could Have Had:

This episode, and really Part 2 as well, have a career fair running at school that’s kind of going on in the background while all this other vampire and Slayer stuff is happening. Buffy, Willow, Xander, Cordelia, and Oz all have to take aptitude tests to suggest what kinds of careers they should have, which none of them will actually pursue (at least not until the comics). Buffy doesn’t even want to speculate what kind of future job she could have, since she gloomily points out it’s all moot. She’ll be the Slayer until she dies, and that’s her whole future.

But I very much enjoy speculating on the futures they could have had. If they were normal, everyday teens who grew up to enter into the fields suggested to them. Because, here’s what their results were:

Cordelia: Motivational speaker or personal shopper Xander: Prison guard Buffy: Police Oz and Willow: Candidates for an extremely elite software company

So I totally could see Buffy being a police officer, and Xander a prison guard at the same facility. Oz and Willow could design fancy security systems as a power couple, and Cordelia could be a motivational speaker they bring in to teach convicts how to turn their lives around. And, you know, probably give them makeovers because she’d have fun doing that.

I would watch that show. I’m sure we could squeeze Spike in there somehow, he could be someone Buffy arrested, lol. 

Spike’s Priorities:

Do I view the world through Spike-colored glasses? Very possibly. However, that allows me to see things that non-fans of his perhaps don’t, so, let me just break down what’s so great about Spike in this two-parter, haha.

He’s only been in three episodes before now, but his agenda is very clear: 1. Kill the Slayer, because that’s what he does, and he’s excited and eager to succeed in killing this one. And 2. Cure Drusilla, his mad princess that he would give up a room full of bleeding victims for, the one thing that’s more important than this whole Slayer thing. Killing the Slayer is his career (in an episode about possible careers, he’s already got his), but Dru is his family, and she comes first.

So, after three episodes of the Slayer outwitting him and sending him running, he realizes he needs to buckle down and work on this Dru problem. And he has been, he brought her to the Hellmouth to get strong, and had someone bring him one of Giles’ books in Lie to Me that he’s trying to decode in this episode. But she’s getting weaker, and he can’t afford to have any more distractions.

So he pulls out “the big guns,” the Order of Taraka, a league of assassins who will just keep coming until they annihilate their target. Dalton asks Spike if that’s not overkill, but Spike knows there is no such thing as overkill when it comes to this Slayer. He’s done underestimating her, fighting her is not something he can afford to risk anymore, and he just needs someone else to keep her out of the way while he focuses on saving Drusilla.

In the episode after this, the conclusion of this two-parter, Willy brings Buffy to Spike claiming that the bounty on her head was “dead or alive” and Spike adamantly says no, he very specifically wanted her dead. But, since she’s here, he’ll fight her. He’ll defend Dru, who is in the process of getting cured with Angel’s blood. And when Dru cries out to him, he stops his fight, he tries to get her out of there, hoping that whatever she got was enough to cure her.

After this he’ll be in a wheelchair, he’ll be in Angelus’ shadow, he’ll be making truces with Buffy to get Drusilla back, because again, Dru is more important than any beef he has with the Slayer.

But once his vampire wife is out of his life, all bets are off, and Buffy becomes the center of Spike’s universe, in one way or another.

WIP Wednesday (1/10) | Arsonist Neil / Firefighter Andrew AU (Part 89)

Andrew watches Aaron go and, for the millionth time, wonders if this is what he’d been deprived of his entire life. Out of everything he’s had stolen from him, and it’s a long list, his twin is one of the worst. But they’re fixing it. They’re… They’re brothers now. Even friends, Andrew thinks.

Andrew’s phone vibrates in his jeans. He’s expecting a zillionth message from 10, but finds one from Aaron instead.

Aaron I left your present on the coffee table.

Andrew turns to see that god awful DVD lying there, mocking him. Oh, that bastard.

Andrew You bastard. Aaron :) You're welcome.

Definitely brothers, Andrew thinks. A tiny smile tugs itself across his face at the thought. Andrew picks up the movie and sighs. He goes to the window to watch Aaron climb into his beater of a car. And, as he pulls away, Andrew considers Frisbee-ing the DVD out the window after him. But, he doesn't. Instead, he ends up marching over to his bookcase and slotting it between a couple other movies. It was a gift, after all.
