BtVS Whimsies

I came across a thought provoking ficlet the other day. It was How It Ends by nasty_shrew. Since I've read it I've been thinking of other possibilities that might have been, leaving us with the BtVS canon as we know it.

Also yesterday I read a quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupery: "You are responsible, forever, for what you have tamed." This put me to thinking about all the Spander fics with feral Spike or freed-from-chip Spike who, out of love for Xander, limits his eating to bad guys (in effect he's tamed). Does that make Xander from then on responsible for Spike? Probably not as Spike is a sentient being who can revert back to pure untamed vampire. But if Spike behaves for love of Xander wouldn't that make Xander, the white knight, have stay with him even if he falls out of love with Spike, impossible as that is to conceive?

That is def one of those fics that has you thinking afterwards. I feel that Xander would make himself stay with Spike even if he fell out of love with him but that would never happen. :p

As I said it's impossible to believe that once Xander's in love with Spike he would fall out of love *g*
