A/N : Inspiration struck after re-watching 'Fool For Love' and I just had to write this. Reviews are more than welcome.
Title : The Ballad Of William The Bloody
Author : Ultrawoman
Rating : G / PG
Spoilers : any episodes from Season 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 that contain Spike.
Summary : Poem-fic. The story of Spike from his human years right through to getting his soul back at the end of Season 6.
William was a bloody awful poet
Didn't take long for everyone to know it
He was way beneath the love of his life
And her cruel words pierced his heart like a knife
That same night he found his saviour, Dru
The vampire who sired him, gave him life a-new
Turned him into a darkest demon
To reak some great havoc and cause some screamin'
His name soon changed from Will into Spike
Named after the torturous weapons he liked
Conquered home, was Scourge of Europe too
Along with Darla, Angelus and his Dru
Angelus, he had some class and style
But Spike disobeyed grand-sire after a while
He liked his fights to be fangs and fists
Until he was warned of one chosen girls gifts
Now the Slayer posed some interest
China, nineteen hundred, Spike laid one to rest
Then America, seventy seven
He sent a second chosen girl to heaven
Two Slayers killed, his Dark Princess pained
Spike and Drusilla needed the hellmouth's gain
But a third Slayer stood in the way
With the help of Angel, with a soul these days
Buffy Summers, Spike couldn't defeat her
Decided to join her when he couldn't beat her
Angelus returned, took away Drusilla
Spike helped Buffy when Angel tried to kill her
Spike left with Dru, but returned without
Came back for one day til Buffy threw him out
He soon returned with a new girlfriend
But Harm turned out to be trouble in the end
The Initiative boys who studied undeads
Put a pretty chip in Spikey's head
On live people, he could no longer feed
For violence sake, he turned on his own breed
The Scoobies gave him some sanctuary
A spell made him engaged to Buffy
He soon became one of the gang
And learnt to fight fellow demons with his fangs
Spike grew closer to Buffy and Dawn
Finds Dawn is the Key, to secrecy he's sworn
Glory caused him pain, but he could deal
He kept his promise and that was something real
Realises his love for Buffy
She hates him, gets all disgusted and huffy
Still he cares and he tries to save her
But fate was against him, not in his favour
So the Slayer died, Spike left to mourn
And protect the Little Bit just like he'd sworn
Back from the grave Buffy needs to feel
Uses poor Spike, what they have is not real
Soon dumped again, Spike goes just too far
Leaves him and Buffy emotionally scarred
Wants to be worthy, regardless the cost
He goes to seek a way to be what he once was
Near endless torment to win his chance
A wise demon gives him many tests to pass
Through pain and hurt, he acheives his goal
Returned to him then was his own tortured soul
What will happen, back in Sunnydale?
Will there be a happy ending to this tale?
Will Spike's unlife be hell or heaven?
I guess I'll have to wait for Season Seven.
