Summary
Tara said she didn’t come back wrong, that it’s all just a cosmic sunburn or whatever, that it’s fine if she wants him, fine if she needs him.
She doesn’t need him, but it’s like, would it really be that bad? And she has Plans, has had Plans for a while, and maybe it’s fine to have fun sometimes, right? Maybe it’s fine to fight him and fuck him and pretend it’s not her doing it but some kind of weird vampire version of her fucking an even weirder Slayer version of him?
(in which Buffy has capital P Plans, and Spike thinks really hard about hinges, and they refuse to talk to each other)

Summary
"Can I kiss you?"
She raises an eyebrow at him, "You didn't ask when we were in the hospital."
"Well– That-That was different, this is different." He brings his hand up to scratch the back of his neck, averting his eyes for just a second before bringing them back. "Sorry- I just-"
"Yes."
He blinks and his eyes widen, "Yeah?"
Scully tilts her head to the side and brings a hand to his cheek, careful not to bump into his injured arm. "Yes, Mulder. You can kiss me."

But I'm Not Going Anywhere (Least Not Anywhere You're Not) by thoughtsofahouseplant

Summary
Anya looks at him like he’s the stupidest person she’s met in the last century. “What are you doing with Buffy?”
Spike takes another drag from the cigarette as he considers. He and Buffy have been living together for two weeks now, long enough that it all almost feels routine. They patrol together and split the cost of meals at 24 hour diners. They shag, obviously. They tell each other I love you, and it still feels miraculous every single time. They remind each other to do things like eat and sleep and charge their phones and pick towels up off the floor. A couple days ago they went to the laundromat and just chatted about their opinions on various reality television shows until the clothes were done. But they haven’t discussed what to call any of that; it just is. He finally lands on: “I’m doing a lot of things with Buffy.”
Anya does not look satisfied with this answer.

Summary
“This is normal,” Buffy said. Stopped. Rephrased.
“This could be considered normal.”
“Maybe in, y’know, the charitable sense,” Willow said as Tara raised her eyebrows.
“But technically it could be.”
