Spike may develop more confidence in expressing his emotions. As he falls in love with Fluttershy, he might become bolder in his actions and words. Fluttershy could become more outgoing as well. With Spike's love and support, she might find the courage to speak up more often and be more assertive in certain situations.
Often, they explore the complex relationship between Spike and Angel. Their rivalry, their grudging respect for each other, and the possibility of them working together are common themes. For example, in many fanfictions, they might start as enemies but end up as allies due to some external threat.
It's inappropriate. The Buffy and Spike relationship has many rich aspects to it, like their power dynamics and their shared history in the Buffyverse. Fanfiction should focus on these more meaningful elements rather than sexualizing their relationship. There are better ways to write about their connection, for example, through their dialogues and how they understand each other on a deeper level.
No. Fanfiction that involves sexual content is not appropriate as it often goes against the original intention of the characters and the show. It also may not be suitable for a wide audience, including younger fans who are fans of the 'Spike and Buffy' story in a more general sense.
Well, Spike often claims his place in Buffy's life in fanfiction. Sometimes he claims that he understands her better than the other characters. For example, he might claim that he knows her inner turmoil regarding her slayer duties and her personal life more deeply. Also, he could claim certain powers or abilities that make him a more suitable partner for her in the fictional scenarios created by fanfiction writers.
We can encourage fans to focus on the emotional aspects of their relationship. For example, write about how they support each other through difficult times. This can bring out the deeper connection between them.
Their relationship could develop through shared experiences. For example, if they volunteer together for a community project in Ponyville. They'll get to know each other better and start to respect each other's abilities. It could also develop if Spike helps Cheerilee with a problem in her classroom, like dealing with a difficult student. This would make Cheerilee see Spike in a new light.
Buffy would probably be involved. Since she's the slayer and Xander is her friend, she'd be on a mission to rescue him from Spike. Willow could also be in it. As Xander's best friend and a powerful witch, she'd use her magic to try and find Xander or fight against Spike. And Giles, too. He'd be the one providing knowledge and guidance on how to deal with a vampire like Spike who has kidnapped Xander.
Writers often make Evil Spike more aggressive. He might lash out at his friends verbally or even physically. His appearance can also change slightly, like his eyes glowing red to signify his evil state. For example, in some fanfictions, his scales become darker, showing his corruption.
