Voice Like a Mars Bar by dutchbuffy2305 (NC-17)
Fandom: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Pairing: Faith/Spike

Why this must be read:
Because the 4th season scene in the Bronze and 7th season scene in the basement were completely begging for it. Even in Buffy's body Faith and Spike smoldered. This is largely a Faith character study wrapped around a seventh season where Spike and Buffy's relationship was just a little different. Faith's fear of commitment and Spike's fear of rejection clash, but something keeps pulling them together - vulnerability hidden by bravado and raw sexual energy for starters. Warning for a different ending to season 7 - the whole story, ending included, is rough, painful, and edgy – just like Faith.
"Thanks, Spike," she says in a weird pinched voice. "That was great."
"You're not so bad yourself, Faith," he says, and all the meanings he puts in this make her wig even more. She stumbles over her own feet in her haste to get up the stairs. Give her a bastard anytime, these sweet guys just spook her. She tosses her hair back, says Hi! to Rona and makes a beeline for the fridge. She needs something to make the emptiness inside go away, and some food will do just fine filling her up. Cereal, Hot-Pockets, milk. Anything.
