This is a response to StephanieM's challenge at Beyond Canon. Please review your review keep me writing and could make th story better.
Outline:
Dru
comes back to town and is angry that Spike is crushing on Buffy. She
captures Xander as revenge because years ago Spike was obsessed with
Xander.
Xander looks just like Spike's only childe, Alessio who he was in love with until the day the younger vampire was staked in Prague while protecting Dru.
He was so upset by this loss that he destroyed every mention of his Childe and killed anyone who knew of Alessio.
Dru decides to turn Xander thinking that if she can make Xander more like Alessio then Spike might come back to the family. Xander ends up a little insane due to being turned by a member of the Aurelius, every childe from that line has some insanity.
Pairing: Xander/Spike
Must Haves:
Xander courting Spike as only a demon would, presenting him with gory and slightly insane gifts.
Spike losing the chip as a result of Xander's wooing.
Willow attempting to resoul Xander (Whether it works or not is up to you)
Include one or more of the following lines:
It's all fun and
games until someone gets shot in the leg.
Good? Bad? I'm the one
with the gun
You ever dance with the devil in the pale
moonlight?
Sickos never scare me. At least they're committed
I've
never really killed anyone before. I don't know what the big deal is,
I really don't.
I've been working out!
It's a matter of life
after death, now that he's dead I have a life.
Men should be like
Kleenex- soft, strong and disposable
Victims... aren't we
all?
Greed is for amateurs. Disorder, chaos, anarchy: now that's
fun!
You say you love pain, but you run from it every chance you
get
Always play with their minds
Well, I was scared then, but
I'm not scared now. How long do you want me to be
scared?
Lets...Get...Outta here! LIKE NOW!
I was right about
one thing: they were all better off dead.
You can know the rules
and still do the wrong thing.
They're all dead. They just don't
know it yet
Everybody ends
up dead. It's just a matter of when.
I always like sinners a lot
better than saints.

A/N: Ok, this is write up number three of this story since I am continually displeased with previous attempts and thus leave them unfinished lets hope this one ends up better and finished. For those of you who read the other version it is basically the same but is considered a rewrite anyway as it is a little more developed and longer. First off, I am playing with Season five canon, this is definitely AU. In my little universe, Glory doesn't exist and Joyce and Dawn both are there. Riley also left in "Into the Woods" but has returned before Crush with a contingent of Initiative boys including a doctor. Also while the events of the episode "Crush" do happen (it's the episode where Drucilla returns and is the starting point for the challenge) it is completely AU from there on. That is all of the inconsistencies I can think of feel free to point out anything else I may have missed.
Reminder: this story is completely AU from the episode "Crush" onward.
PrologueI don't think I've ever been this scared in my life. I mean sure fighting vampires for five years has left me in some pretty hairy situations. I mean I've been kidnapped more than once, injured, and nearly killed; but this, this is so much worse than anything before. So many are already dead and usually I wouldn't worry I know we could get out of it but, but, I don't think we will. Xander, we've been friends for so long, he was like the rock of the group, and we never realized it. I mean is this revenge for ignoring him or is just the demon. I mean I always thought I might die but I thought it would be at the hand of some great big bad evil, not someone who was one of us.
And Spike I never saw that coming he was the harmless one, I mean he was so in love with Buffy he would do anything for her. And how much of that was fake, I mean we were trusting him and now he's with Xander. They hated each other I mean when we found out Xander was turned we thought he killed Spike, but no they were working together. He apparently wooed Spike, why I have no clue, but apparently he did with bloody gifts, I don't want to know, but still Xander and Spike?
But, but the worst part … okay evil vamp Xander is about as insane as evil vamp Willow, of course after meeting her and Drucilla that doesn't mean much does it? Anyways what shocks me is he played us, Vamp Xander played mind games on us, even more than Angelus did. Who would have thought that sweet, innocent Xander would be all evil, mind gaming vampire, I sure didn't. And now because of all this here we are all tied up waiting to die while Xander does the bad guy thing and laughs and tells us his evil plan. I think that we might not get out of this one, I mean this may be the Scoobies last stand, in the a corner of the sewer under the graveyard. And the irony is, that its at the hand of one of our own.
A/N Okay so still short but a marked improvement over the original.
