I'm on a roll lately. Here's another one, one more coming up. Since we can submitt ten...

Title: Addiction
Author: poisontearss
Word Count: 105
Characters (Pairing, if any): Rack, Buffy, Willow
Rating: G

"I can't believe you."

Angerl makes Willow sizzle. Her best friend. "You...made me feel horrible, and look at you!"

Buffy smirks. "Get over it, Will. I finally feel clean. From--" But she can't say it."

From Spike.

Willow wouldn't understand. She couldn't. How Buffy feels...

So alone.

Spike didn't make her feel. How could he? But, Rack's magick...it did.

She liked it. The wrongness, the addiction as it coursed through the Slayer. Buffy couldn't explain it to Willow. And frankly, she didn't care to.

"I have to go."

"Go?"

Buffy nods. "To Rack. He's expecting me."

No judgement, not there. Just acceptance.

~FIN~

Cool Rack was one of my favorite bad guys. I really like Jeff Kober

thanks! Yeah, I wish we had gotten to see more of Rack...he would've been an interesting blemish in the verse, I think.

Oh my I forgot this page. LOL. Thanks, now I'm all warm and toasty again. Mmmm Rack aka Jeff K.

Another brilliant one you do like to do the darker side of things, which so rocks by the way

Mwahaha! that was my evil laugh btw hehe and yes, the darker the better. I hate fluffy fic where everyone is happy. and thanks so much, glad you liked!

Interesting twist on canon and how Buffy might have found another way to feel alive.

I finally feel clean. From--" But she can't say it."

From Spike.
That's a really interesting interpretation, that one addiction can cleanse her of another.

thank you...I thought so myself, and was like hmm...it works!

This is something different than I think from what I have seen before. It is interesting to see Buffy going from needing Spike to make her feel to needing magic. Interesting choice there. :)
