It /is/ a stretch. But if you look to their commonalities and build on that, rather then make them "friends" but more like... B/C-Movie adversary cop-buddies then suddenly it all works.
This is the kind of stuff you can read and read and read and it just never gets old.

This was exactly Joss & co should have done. personally, the only reason the first one isn't canon is the Buffy is the star & they don't get THAT kind of torture. As for the second, by the time that would have been relevant Spike was the Male lead, hens Robin hadn't succeeded.

I guess Angelus and Xander would get along better if they were both soulless but I for one am glad that part of the story is not any longer. Loved the bit with Angel and Xander lamenting Buffy's taste in men, I guess Xander comes off better there because Buffy never actually picked him :)

Just seeing that there is a new story by you makes me smile...actually reading one makes me laugh out loud (and usually snort whatever beverage I happen to be drinking at the time!) Thank you for posting all you do :-)

Okay the first section is scary and probable. The second sounds hysterically funny. Would the demon follow Spike out of town? Or is it only when he's in Sunnydale? Interesting thought.
Comments from author:
The enchanted kneecapping bat the demon uses only has to make contact with the victim once to by able to break his kneecaps anywhere on the same continent once per day.

Shouldn't forget elbows, they hurt like heck when they're broke. The first part (Angelus and Xander) of ch. 2 made me think about why Xander allowed Buffy to get away with allowing Cordy and Willow to get hurt in the final episodes of the second season. More logical would be -Buffy ran up in front of the Crawford Street mansion when her knee exploded, shortly after that Xander walked up with a Rocket Launcher under his arm and a pistol of some type in his fist. Looking at Buffy he simply said "I warned you of what would happen if Willow was hurt or killed because you never saw a trap you wouldn't spring. Now watch," as he then blows up the mansion before Angelus can activate Alcatha.

I like the way Willow died, it was quite creative. As was Xander's idea for punishment. Though the fact the two were talking without violence was a bit strange.
Loved the kneecapping though. 40 kneecappings, think Spike would get the hint.

Wow, that first bit was dark ass hell, but the second was a bit more fun. Still not as good as turning a concentration camp into a giant roman candle though.
