[BTVS/ATS] On Giving Up
On Giving Up
by cozzybob
Rating: PG-13 for language
Pair: Spike/Illyria-ish
Warning: aww factor. some language, many uses of the f-word, a brief moment of interrupted demon smut. Mega spoilers for After The Fall.
Note: After reading the second installment of the After The Fall comic, I was disturbed on Spike's behalf. But then I decided, hey, this is Joss, and he knows what he's doing. He's gotta, he hasn't failed us much before, right? Well, sort of. At any rate, I believe in the man, and I started to consider the subtle hints of background story implied by Spike when speaking to Angel. I *was* going to write a story about that, how Spike came to be the way we find him, but that was too much work and I know I'll end up getting Jossed anyway, so I found myself oggling that last image of Illyria fanatically and looking over my options. That's when I began to write this. It helped me to understand things, really, and I'm not so disturbed anymore. In fact, I'm starting to think ATF!Spike makes a strange kind of sense.
Summary: Written to the 2nd issue of the After The Fall comic. Spike thinks over his current role in Angel's life, and more importantly, his role in Illyria's.
( Clearly, hell was unaware of William the Bloody's reputation for women. )
