Summary
Buffy is pissed off.
She should be relieved or happy or tired or anything but instead she’s angry. Angry that Spike is gone and that she finally told him she loved him and he didn’t believe it. Sure, she’s been fucking Faith a lot lately, but he knows—knew—better than anyone that she could still care for him. Whatever. It’s complicated.
Spike’s dead and it’s fucking complicated. And her entire home is gone forever along with all her stuff which isn’t important when Spike’s dead, but she still cares. (The weapons chest Xander made her. Mr. Gordo. Spike’s lighter. All of it.)
So she’s not relieved. She’s not excited to be alive when maybe Spike’s somewhere where Buffy could join him—not heaven, but maybe? He has—had—a soul now and he was all do-goody and repenty. How stupid are you? Obviously he’s not in heaven.
Even when he was good, he wasn’t all that good, that bitter, hurt part of Buffy reminds hers.
Or: The hellmouth is gone, and Buffy has nothing to do for the first time in years. Except, well, Faith.
