Why this must be read:
Mirror universes; what if’s, parallel worlds—the Buffyverse lends itself to plenty of fics like these. The show itself tipped its hat to them, in that Halloween episode where Buffy wore fangs instead of a stake. But this fic, When She Was Bad is the best of them. The world is completely flipped over. And I mean, completely.
"Matter of fact, I am," she said. "I guess I'm just not your Buffy Summers. Where I come from, I'm not a vampire, and I have way better fashion sense. Let me guess – you must be Spike."
His face went through a set of expressions she didn't think she'd ever see – horror, shock, recognition. And then back to watchful. "You've got me confused with somebody else, love."
"Yeah, sure. Let me go out on a limb here and say – you're a Watcher."
He was very silent, very still. So was Drusilla, who'd never taken those glowing eyes off of Buffy. Jeez, she was just as unnerving human as she had been vampire. What was up with that?
Spike said, "And who's she?"
"Drusilla's the Slayer." Spike opened his mouth, shut it, and looked at Drusilla. She looked back. "Look, much though I like Kreskining for you, it's not magic," Buffy said. "Where I come from, I'm a Slayer. I've got a Watcher. You're not him, by the way."
