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...
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

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.

Spike said "Cecily?" as a throw away line. Not a plot point, but canon. Fan service.
OMG DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED.

OMG DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED.
This made you unhappy? I thought it was rather fun.

I hated it with the burning hatred of a thousand suns. I did not like the sacrificing of story to fanwankery and wink wink nudge nudge. Are there not approximately a zillion actresses that could have played Halfrek or Cecily?
(you can probably find this more deeply bitched about by me during the actual season airing)

I look more rad than Lutheranism
The same actor who played the crazy-pills vamp in "Helpless" played magic-isn't-a-drug-no-really pusher Rack in S6.
And while I know trying to reconcile those 2 characters would have been harder than reconciling Cecily and Halfrek, it probably could have been done -- but it wasn't. Because it didn't have to. Much like Cecily and Halfrek.
Which is to say, I agree with Nora.
t edit Actually, didn't the actor who played Andrew also play one of Harmony's minions in S4?

I always assumed that Cecily had become a vengeance demon at some point after she knew William, which I thought was a nice thought because she must have been spurned the way she spurned Spike. I just use the word spurned in a sentence, twice.
Was Halfrek meant to be older than that and thus my theory doesn't work?
