Spike/Buffy [Initiative!AU] - Crashing Down [Buffy The Vampire Slayer]

“Suddenly the quick demice,
Everything I loved was torn apart.”

Please watch in HD with a full screen. :D

The second edit which I wrote about in the earlier one. And, in all honesty, the one I am quite thrilled to upload since I never thought I would make a Spuffy AU since they have so many scenes already. It’s just that I am currently getting the episodes in HD with rewatching the show and cutting anything that is possible. I am only on season 4 with cutting what I need but the ideas to smash certain scenes together just developed and this is the result.

We all know Buffy joined and found out about the plans of the Initiative many episodes after Spike escaped from there and so he wrongly accused Buffy to have something to do with his imprisonment. WHAT IF Buffy joined the Initiative sooner and played a part in Spike’s capture? What if she starts to question the experiments there already and plans to free Spike in hoping to gain an ally? Here, this backfires badly. At first. Spike is insulted and flees on its own – only to come back later because he wants revenge for what Buffy did and seeks her out when he returns later to Sunnydale. It goes as expected: Buffy defeating him and dragging him to the Scooby Gang. But he escapes (RIP to Giles’ car) – only for Buffy to catch up with him again. Anyway, remembering his “I like this world”-speech from the season 2 finale, Buffy convinces him that she needs help and he agrees. However, now he is no longer welcome in the demon world and angrily tries to avoid Buffy. This proves rather complicated since an attraction is already there (not me shamelessly using Walsh’s lecture about Freud’s theory of the ID but the opportunity was there :D). What follows is Spike trying to help while also trying to sabotage the blooming relationship between Buffy and Riley. They all take down the Initiative and Buffy admits to herself that she wants to more fun for once and starts a relationship with Spike (let’s pretend they get a more serious relationship for the next season; just let Buffy have a good time). It ends with them getting caught by everyone and, most importantly, present Riley as the clown he is. :D

I also want to dedicate this edit to ‪@MissEleanorVane‬ who I know now many years and who always was a great friend and fantastic editor. Sweetie, your support means everything to me and I deeply apologize that, during the last two years, we haven’t talked much due to life being very turbulent. But I know that you adore Spuffy just as much as I do and if this edit manages to bring a smile to your face, I’d be so blessed. So, I hope you can find some joy in this AU universe. :D
