Walker of Night Part 1

Written in 2012 when I was still reading way too much Spike/Xander (not that there's anything wrong with it, just that I'm not obsessive anymore) and had barely met Spike yet (I got excited about Buffy so I started reading fanfic and pretty much next thing you know I was recognizing episodes from fanfic...yeah, that's normal).  (And, again, most of the ones I read don't include the scene in Seeing Red because it just doesn't make sense in a world where Spike and Xander are actually dating, so.  That, or I was just selectively filtering.  I may have been selectively filtering.  I do that.)  I like the feel (it's got some really good lines, and I super like the two introductory scenes), but I feel weird about having a female Spike in this one because it's just so tropey and not even aware tropey.

Main Points:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer AU
Summary: Xander really shouldn't play with magical artifacts.
Word Count: 2026
Rating: Teen?
Pairing: There's a bit of Xander/Spike hinted at.
