I've decided I *have* to do a Spike fic titled "The Man Who Sold The World". That's--if you didn't know-- a David Bowie song. I've fallen in mad crazy love with the Nirvana "unpluggged" cover of it. I downloaded the original, and it's no comparison.

I've been thinking about it, and that's a *totally* sick as title for a Spike-fic. I keep thinking that there must be some way to tie it into his getting a soul, but my brain's having trouble with it because, if anything, Spike BOUGHT his world when he go his soul. But there must be some way, and i intend to find it. Maybe it could be the third story in my horror trilogy. I already have the second (first, really, but written 2nd) one mapped out, and its got a lyrics title too-- "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me."

Maybe I'll be able to come up with something good after I see Buffy tonight. Which I am STILL unspoiled for!!! Yay. I am getting excited though... people seem to be so pumped up about it.

yeah... I'm thinking on it. Something like that. If I can just find the right way to explain it in my thoughts, I can put it on Word and convince everyone else so they'll believe it. It sounds like an absoutley kick-ass title though, ne?

I had a moment in the car where I wondered if it'd work better for Giles instead, post Gift, a vignette about Ben's death. Like Giles sold his own (not literal) but figurative soul, his not-guilty-ness, by killing Ben to save the world. Though that's more of buying the world at a price, isn't it? Also, there's the little fact that I know squat about writing Giles-voice.
