Anyway, as our little tribute to the end of AtS, this week's challenge is endings. Take that however you like, and run with it. :)

AtS – Season 5 – The Girl in Question – Spike/Angel

1. Who's On First?

This time it was Angel stating the obvious. "It's over, Spike. Really and truly finished. I can't believe we lost Buffy to… to… him.

"Lost our hearts, the girl, the head … complete tossers, mate. Tell me… are we the same vampires that had most of Europe cowering before our fangs? It couldn't have been just the women responsible for making the Scourge infamous across the continent.

"We must have run into some kind of mutant enemy – to change us overnight from feared and respected vampires to Abbott and Costello."

Spike sighed. "Stick a fork in it, Angel. We're done."

BtVS – Season 7 – Post Chosen – Xander

2. Hakuna Matata

Xander was alone in the middle of the lush green African veldt. Let's face it, after growing up on the Hellmouth, what did he have to fear from lions and tigers and elephants?

Flat on his back, staring up at the full moon, he was reminded of Simba, the lion cub, looking for his father for guidance. Only Xander wasn't seeing his father, the bastard drunk. Nope, he was seeing Spike – the former Big Bad vampire who saved the world.

Xander remembered how hard he worked to hang onto his hatred of Spike, when really it was over long ago.

BtVS – Season 6 – Older and Far Away – Spike

3. Desperate Captive

Spike knew he wasn't really invited to Buffy's birthday celebration. Didn't stop him from showing up, of course – beer and Clem in tow. It was easy to blame Red's loose lips, too. Better than saying he was a lonely, pathetic loser holed up in a crypt. They all knew it, anyway.

Dealing with the 'muscle cramp' in his pants, fighting that sword demon, playing cards with Buffy… it wasn't a hardship being locked inside the house. Not for him.

When Halfrek – who was definitely Cecily – broke the spell – she broke his heart for a second time. He wanted to stay.
