He didn’t know who he was, and to hear the lot of them talk, he didn’t know what he was, either. In fact, he only knew one thing about himself. Luckily it was a very important thing.
He had a really cool coat.
HEE! This Spike focused story breaks from canon during season 6. The premise? Spike gets bopped on the head and loses his memory. Buffy reluctantly agrees to let him stay at her house, seeing as it was Dawn’s fault he got ‘bopped’. Once he accepts the idea that he’s a vampire with no memory, Spike, being Spike, gets bored. On the plus side of things, he finds a note that suggests he has a secret lover. For the rest of the story, he tries to figure out who it is. Given the fact that Spike can imagine having sex with just about everyone he meets, the puzzle is not an easy one to piece together.
This fic continually cracked me up. Mahaliem has a flare for dialogue and this fanfic sounds like the show. The premise is also a nifty one, and the author really milks it for every bit of humor- and does so with style. Andrew is even watching from the shadows, fascinated by ‘Master Vampire Spike’ and his irresistible appeal to all around him. The characterizations of a rather large cast of characters were also appealing- I liked everybody in the fic. Lastly, there’s a lot of heart beneath the humor- and while it’s funny when Spike wonders if Xander could be ‘the one’, it’s also all a bit bittersweet. Very nice read, highly recommended.
