Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'


Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How did I just now learn that Halfrek actually was Cecily? I am so ashamed.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I thought it was just the same actress...was Cecily really a vengeance demon? That puts a whole new spin on Spike's creation story.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Spike said "Cecily?" as a throw away line. Not a plot point, but canon. Fan service.

so if she was a vengeance demon on assigment while spike was lovelorn William, that was just a coincidence that they met? I mean, didn't she lean towards vengeance for children? What was she doing hanging out in high society having embarring poems written to her? Or did Joss just like the actress, re-cast her as Halfrek, and then have so many fans notice that he had to either confirm or deny them being the same character?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I believe it is the latter.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Well, her saying "William?" was kind of a nod in the ep.

I remember writing a quick Spike/Halfrek fic between the week before Hellps Bells. Now where is that?

Here it is! Shriftweb to the rescue...

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Is Doublemeat Palace the one where RIley comes back and Buffy says "I have a cow on my head"? Because that was pretty funny.
