spikes_heartThis weeks challenge: Punishment
Take it however you like. Could be from not watching TV to someone being 'bad' ;)
BtVS - Season 4 - Something Blue - Willow
Penance By The Spoonful
Measure, pour, stir, drop, bake. I’m sorrys in discs of flour and sugar and chocolate. I’m sorry Giles, for taking your eyesight. Chocolate chips for you. I’m sorry Xander, for almost getting you killed. Yummy oatmeal raisin. So sorry Buffy, for making you kiss another vampire. Butterscotch drops will help. Sorry, Spike… well, not really, but chocolate chips will shut you up.
Each spoonful of batter grew heavier. Willow transferred her apologies and agitation to the batter. By the time each cookie was baked, they reeked of her pain and suffering.
Chocolate would never be enough to disguise her failures.
BtVS - Season 5 - Post The Gift - Giles
Loss
Control. Since childhood, Rupert Giles’ life was all about control. His parents forced him to control his emotions. It wouldn’t do to allow his passions to overrule his common sense. He had to see all possible solutions to a situation, and handle it with certainty. He was groomed to be a Watcher. Proper, staid and rule bound.
Ripper escaped the tweed for a few years, only to fall prey to common sense and the call of duty. He had a Slayer to Watch.
And now, she’s dead.
Another drink, and another – he’s a failure as a Watcher. Bring on oblivion.
BtVS - Season 6 - Hell's Bells - Xander/Anya
How Could You?
“Christ, Anya. You said you loved me. I don’t understand how you could sleep with someone else so soon after we… after we didn’t… hell, woman. I know I fucked up.” Xander is grateful for the distance the telephone allows them. “But you had to sleep with Spike of all creatures!”
Closing his eyes, he envisions all that smooth skin spread out before him. All he’ll never have. Legs entwined as they moved together, hands petting and stroking… the images make him hard. Short blond hair, glorious blue eyes and cheekbones to die for.
“I’ll never forgive you, Anya. Never.”

Date: 2004-05-10 11:55 pm (UTC)I also thought her going around saying "Gay Now!" was obnoxious as hell when she was really bi-sexual. It made it sound like she had a switch marked 'sexual preference' and she decided to flip it to gay.
It would also have made more sense for it to be Xander since society tends to pressure on men to chase after women and Xander's dating encounters could be seen as a desperate attempt to "be a man" so to speak, by sleeping with women. Not to mention that with a father like his , there probably was more than a few diatribes on what a man is and part of that including who a man slept with. Xander's overcompensation could've included the overbearing way he acted about Buffy's love life .
