(Robin's Eyes [Castlevania inspired])

This story is rated M HADES - 1 - Not finished Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence Relationships: Robin Buckley/Nancy Wheeler Additional Tags: Underworld Vampires, Buffy the Vampire Slayer References, True Blood References, Vampires, Robin Buckley is a Vampire, Vampire Bites, Blood Drinking, Supernatural Elements, Mild Sexual Content, Implied Sexual Content, Sexual Tension, Pining, Angst and Hurt/Comfort, Human/Vampire Relationship, Monster of the Week, Slow Burn

Summary: It's been years since Nancy set foot in Hawkins. Granted she was seven or was it six years old when her family left, semantics. What secrets could a high school senior hold? What Hawkins mysteries might be uncovered?

Can Nancy just have thirty minutes to herself so she can finish her college admissions?

A few seconds, so, she can ask the vampire that keeps staring at her from the stage at The Hideout, what her deal is? So what if she's nice to look at too.

Nancy didn't ask for any of this.

-aka-

Vampire!Robin/Nancy and vampire melodrama. So much vampire melodrama.

Chapter 1 Excerpt:

Two doors flung open, and the siblings exited. Nancy Wheeler shaded her eyes, uncomfortably empty backpack flapping at her left shoulder. Mike squinted, righting himself, not used to this new leggy frame. They stare at the school’s banners and hear the yellow bus doors close as the last students depart to begin their day. A cursory glance and Nancy could already pick apart the sizes of cliques and what spaces to avoid. She shifted her hair to hide a sudden feeling of unease. Was someone watching them? Of course, people were looking. They were the new kids. No, this was different. Two sets of eyes were observing from within the sea of ‘high school elites.’

“Have everything?” Karen Wheeler bent through the car to view her two oldest children.

Nancy and Mike both nod.

“Come on, you two, I know you’re going to make friends the minute you step through those doors. You just need to think positive.” She gave a thumbs up. This couldn’t be real life. “Sweetheart? Try not to get kicked out of this one,” finished Karen.

Nancy gave her mother a reluctant smile, rolling her eyes at Mike’s groan.

i don't think the spike girlies talk enough about how he was an upper-class posh dude who reverse my fair ladied himself so that he would sound cooler. like do you think he sat around practicing "the rain in spain" to make himself more cockney?

#i am not a spike girlie but i feel this is a neglected topic of discussion #i mean he's literally a rich dude cosplaying as working class that is so funny #also george bernard shaw's pygmalion was first performed in 1913 #so the exact reference i'm making doesn't fit the timeline i don't think #since he already has the accent in the boxer rebellion scenes #but i'd like to believe he went to see the play and felt really seen #but also because he's spike #he related way too much to henry higgins and could not understand why he and eliza don't end up together #probably loves the musical (my beloathed) though #spike #btvs #buffy the vampire slayer

UGH I decided to rewatch That Scene in seeing red and all the spike stuff in the episode leading up to it, and just… it was so good. his and buffy’s characterisation, their performances, the writing, all SO GOOD. and then That happens and it’s all out the window for me.

not just because I personally hate seeing my favourite character (since I was 10) attempt to sexually attack my other favourite character, though yeah that might be a fucking factor jesus christ. but because it just doesn’t make sense. with spike, and specifically with spike and buffy, he can talk the talk and do nasty stuff in the bedroom all he wants but when it comes down to actually, genuinely hurting her, the end of season 5 onwards shows that he could NEVER. we actually had a tamer version of this in crush, when he ties her up. I’m sorry, but that taught him. there was a change from then on out.

yeah he has that mentality of “she loves me, she wants it”, and yeah that makes sense considering both his personality and the way buffy has acted within their relationship. and NO I’m not saying “she asked for it”, what I’m saying is she has on many occasions said no when she meant yes, and that has become pretty much the foundation and the appeal of their relationship for both of them. it doesn’t justify anything, it just means that it technically makes sense why a soulless and therefore selfish character like spike would take her actions in this way and push it to an extreme. but yeah personally it just doesn’t sit with me. it’s horrible.

if it had stopped before the bit where he pins her down, it would have got the point across. still nasty and horrible, still condemnable, but honestly just him trying to kiss her and her ending up falling on the bath and hurting herself would get the point across to spike, buffy and the audience in exactly the same way. it’s so unnecessarily brutal, and yeah, I know he’s a soulless monster, so I do sound like a bit of a knob, but genuinely he wouldn’t do that. after all that tenderness, all the genuine care he expresses for her with both words and actions from season 5-6… with her screaming and crying, there is NO WAY he would go that far, not at that point in his arc.

but that’s just my take I guess FUCK I literally HATE this scene what the hell

#I rewatched it for reference for the fic I’m planning #and god it’s just… it would be so good if it was good yk?? the foundation of it is so so good but the actual scene ruined my goddamn life #tw sa mention #btvs #buffy the vampire slayer #buffy summers #btvs spike #spuffy #btvs s6 #buffy season 6 #tw sa #btvs seeing red

Okay but in the beginning of Same Time, Same Place, there is a joke about Anya not wanting her spellcasting with Willow to get too sexy. The show literally say "remember that two women casting a spell together usually means they're having sex? well we want to make sure you understand that this time it's just for plot reasons." They acknowledge that you might want to read it that way based on previous seasons, but you shouldn't, in that situation.

Anyway in the end of the same episode, when Willow and Buffy hold hand and do it on Willow's bed, that acknowledgement is missing.

As I said in the tags of a recent post, I love the character of Jenny Calendar. But one of the less fun things about my ongoing rewatch is the reminder that the particular version of her character that I love – the technopagan who challenges Giles’s way of looking at the world and has access to knowledge and information through sources our heroes otherwise wouldn’t have, the woman who combines magic with science and who has links to the world of the supernatural in a way that isn’t awkwardly entangled with the show’s uncomfortably persistent racism – only actually appears on screen for perhaps as few as two episodes.

I love the idea of Jenny being more integrated into the group this season, but why is a woman who criticized Giles for thinking that “knowledge should be kept in carefully guarded repositories where only a handful of white guys can get at it” and who asked him “you think the realm of the mystical is limited to ancient texts?” and who explained that people online were “always sending stuff my way [because] they know the occult’s my turf” last season suddenly only capable of helping with research by … heading off to the library to look at the books with everyone else? Why has her main role in the story of the show outside of her relationship with Giles been as a potential victim (as in When She Was Bad and now in The Dark Age) or as a worried bystander (as in every other episode she's been in so far)?

We’re over a third of the way through the season now: why have we only seen Jenny near a computer when she’s teaching remedial computer science? Why can’t the show find anything better to do with the character they introduced last season than playing the role of Giles’s Cool Girlfriend?

(Of course, in a few episodes’ time the show will find something for Jenny to do beyond being Giles’s girlfriend. And yes, I’ll hate that a lot more.)

#btvs #buffy rewatch 2023 #I know there is one reference to Jenny “surfing on her computer” off-screen in School Hard but it is not enough #we needed a minimum of one scene of everybody clustered around Jenny in the computer lab as she looks up ancient demonic lore on Usenet

Hypothetically, if I were thinking of posting a Calendiles drabble a day in December as this year's festive project (a sort of advent Calendiles, if you will) using crowdsourced prompts, would anyone actually be interested in that (ie, suggesting a prompt or several and getting a little mini fic in return)?

I know there's tonnes of prompt lists online, but (if I end up doing it) this would be more fun, I think!

This story is rated M VAMPYR - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - Not finished

Chapter 10 "Robin Part I" Excerpt: There's no clear display of who stepped first, but their lips locked. After weeks of avoidance and an ignored acknowledgment, both have wanted this since their first meeting in the alleyway at the back of The Hideout.

Robin's hands gripped Nancy's waist, thumbs and pointer fingers grazing the hidden skin under the oversized t-shirt worn today with her heavy coal-grey sweater cardigan. They began to move. The brunette steering them, her back turned, toward the bed.

Nancy felt the edge hit her calves. Ready to fall when the blonde began to pull away. Staring at her were the incandescent sparks she's woken from in a handful of her dreams. The brunette touched Robin's face, keeping it still, refusing to break their trance.

The blonde blinked, eyes back to their usual still water-like blue. Nancy pulled Robin down for another kiss, this one more urgent. They fall onto the bed. The brunette's fingers laced into blonde hair. Robin's hands slid along Nancy's lower back, gripping possessively. Their kiss was released with a click. The blonde's lips traced the brunette's chin, descending with delicate pecks down her neck.

I'm kind of shocked that (as far as I know), no one has gifed Xander in season four of Buffy saying to her: "I've gone through some fairly dark times in my life. When it was dark, and I'm all alone, and I'm scared or freaked out, whatever. I always think: 'What would Buffy do?'" with that episode of Supernatural and the Ghost Facers: "WWBD: What Would Buffy do?"

Absolutely delighted that my professor validated my “John Donne’s relationship to God in ‘Batter My Heart, Three-Personed God’ is the same as Spike’s relationship to Buffy” hot take which I thought of at the very inopportune time of in the middle of my Christianity in Literature exam.

#dylan says things #btvs #i spent so long trying to rearrange that thought in a way that wasn’t a btvs reference #but after the exam i told my prof the original take #and she said i was right. so it actually doesnt matter how i do on the exam ive already won

oh nothing just buffy and cordelia are literally cosmically linked.

cordy wishes buffy had never come to sunnydale (despite being wronged by xander, not buffy - lesbian behaviour tbh but that is a different conversation) and the entire universe changes.

and now we know that in a universe where buffy doesn’t exist, it’s cordelia who becomes the slayer.

I might be grasping at straws here but like… seriously?? two of the major alternate universes in the buffyverse hinge on the inherent connection and opposition of buffy and cordelia??? AT THIS POINT YOUR FATES ARE NOT UNEXPLAINABLY INTERTWINED BY THE UNIVERSE YOU ARE JUST GAY

#btvs #buffy the vampire slayer #angel the series #ats #slayers: a buffyverse story #slayers a buffyverse story #buffy summers #cordelia chase #coffy #cordelia x buffy #buffy x cordelia #if you don’t understand the second reference btw it’s the new audiobook that’s coming out. absolutely insane I know

Here's a question:

Apart from that one scene in This Year's Girl when Faith confronts Buffy after waking up from her coma and Willow thinks about intervening ("Try it, Red, and you'll lose an arm"), does Faith ever actually refer to Willow as "Red" in canon? In either Buffy or Angel?

In fanfic (including my own) the nickname is ubiquitous -- I can't think of a single work of Buffy fanfiction in which Willow and Faith talk to each other even once and Faith doesn't call Willow "Red", or a story told from her POV in which she doesn't think of Willow as "Red" -- but I am racking my brains and I've been checking episode transcripts and I genuinely think that one line in one Season 4 episode is the only time in canon Faith ever says it.

(As far as I can work out, Kennedy calls Willow "Red" more times in Season 7 than Faith does. Which is to say, she says it exactly once.)

#btvs #genuinely baffled to realize this (although granted they don't really talk much and Faith only rarely refers to Willow by name)#had to go back and make sure Faith really does call Buffy 'B' all the time just in case we were all hallucinating that too #(good news: she does and we weren't)
