Why this must be read:

I love outsider point-of-views, and this piece looks at Spike as the demons and vampires around Sunnydale see him. He doesn't have a soul, but the changes that they see in him terrify the rest of the undead as they don't know exactly what to make of it.

He passes them on the street, and they keep their heads down, faces turned to the wall. They remember when he didn’t buy cigarettes at all, when shoplifting was just another trick to play before he ripped open the store clerk's throat. They remember, and their eyes slide over and through him. They're angry, maybe. Wistful. They're almost certain.
