Fics like Angel Doesn’t Know

"I was 16, Spike,” she said softly. “I had the impulse control of a hormonal ferret, and I was desperate to be loved—you think I woulda said no to a hot, devoted British guy who wasn't trying to kill me just for kicks? Just how dumb are you?" ~ Buffy in Ch 13 of Goodbye to Everything That I Knew In which Spike gets smarter and propositions Buffy on night one, and Buffy accepts because Angel is MIA and would you look at those cheekbones? Cue a teenage romp of an affair in which Spuffy discover the joys of emotional availability in a partner, Angel discovers the joy of a woman with a plan, Cordy makes the plan and enjoys the hell out of it, and Dru gets to live her best life without any man holding her back… You know how Goodbye to Everything That I Knew is a slow burn of carefully constructed intimacy leading to sweet married sex? This story is the complete spiritual opposite of that… AU starting in Season 2x03, School Hard. Written for EF’s 2024 April Challenge Month. Response to BewareTheKiller’s Scotty Doesn’t Know Challenge. Beta and Sensitivity Readers: ShirtyBird Artists: cd85
