USED SOULS by ColorOfAngels

Genre: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Rating: Content suitable for most ages.

Summary: Spike just wants to go to bed, but Buffy can't sleep with one of life's great mysteries on her mind... Just a bit of slice of life fluff and fun...

Where to find the story: I found it here on FanFiction.net.

“Spike,” Buffy asked softly as she absently drew designs on the vampire’s bare chest that was currently doubling as her pillow, “are you awake?”

“No,” he replied shortly, not opening his eyes.

“Liar,” she retorted, readjusting her head so that her chin rested on his shoulder and she could look up into his face.

Spike sighed, releasing air he didn’t even need in the first place. It was really only half a lie as he has been in that special floaty place you go when you’re hovering between sleep and consciousness, when his lover’s voice brought him back to the land of the living.

“Well now m’ awake,” he relented, opening one eye when he felt her gaze boring into his cranium. “Question is pet, why’re you?”

~ ColorOfAngels, Used Souls

Thus begins a charming conversation about life, souls, heaven, hell and everything inbetween. Buffy finally starts asking the questions we've all been asking since we got our first taste of the Buffyverse...and even Spike gets caught up in the possibilities she considers.

This is an adorable and thought-provoking read. And make sure you hang on till the end--Spike's willing to go to impressive lengths to find the answers for his pet...
