Walker of Night Part 2
Mar. 16th, 2020 10:21 pmStill the female Spike that's really trope-y and doesn't do anything new with the trope-yness. Some really great lines/very Buffy wordage.
This particular part is my least favorite because it has another trope I dislike so I'm not sure why I even wrote it. It's definitely hinting at character bashing, and while Xander ends up staying in a world with some versions of his friends instead of taking off solo and breaking the whole Found Family thing, it's still a distant cousin writing-wise.
I can't figure out if Nightwalkers are cringey or cool as a concept. They're less powerful versions of vampires, who have to work out and practice like a Slayer to be truly dangerous, but they also can walk in the sun. I vaguely remember a concept of "vampiric wizards played with this idea and decided the loss of power wasn't really worth it", but don't know for sure now. (Also, not sure why I didn't call them Daywalkers, since that's more thematically appropriate....)
~Dreamer~
Main Points:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer AU
Summary: Xander really shouldn't play with magical artifacts.
Word Count: 953
Rating: Teen?
Pairing: Xander/Spike
