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."
