Summary
That's the difference between you and me.
This darker version of Willow squatted by her in a grim mockery of where this had all started, her face a stoic, murderously enraged mask. Every part of her hurt and Faith stared in utter terror at this pale spider-veined monster and with that sickening realization of just what lay behind that rage, she realized this might be how she went out.
You know what it feels like, now. Your body, completely in the control of something you can't stop, and you can't control. You hurt me, Faith. Went out of your way to try to ruin my life.
Willow then stood up right as her friends had found her, knowing what that light had meant even when Faith didn't.
But I'm not like you, and I never will be. Right now. Try me again and I'll flay you and burn you to ashes.
Faith found herself fully believing Red in that moment for reasons besides being on her back after being brutally ragdolled, not least of them the relish in that tone as the pale spider-veined monster had grinned at her for the first time.

Summary
"Hellions."
His voice had a faint dismay.
"That's what happened to-"
"To?"
"A victim," was all he'd said, then. He stared at her. "Oh God, Red really went and did it, didn't she?"
Buffy's nose twitched.
"147 days."
"Huh." It was a reaction more like that of Oz than not, and that made Spike warier in some ways, and he had gone up to her and had seemed to steel himself.
"Pardon me, Slayer-" and as she'd tilted her head he'd struck her nose only to stare as did she when there was no reaction. For a moment his game face was visible as he looked down at Willow but Buffy shook her head.
"I'm me, Spike. Believe me."

Summary
"Oh."
Willow relaxed a bit as she met the supposed Coven lady's gaze directly.
"What?"
"Usually the uh, the jocks don't go anywhere near the Wicca group."
Willow shrugged. "Didn't care in high school, I'm really not going to start caring now."
She leaned forward, catching the eyes of a pretty dirty blonde with a zigzag part who was very clearly smitten with her.
"Now we're here for a Wicca group, right?"
"....."
"Yeah?"
"Well how about spells?"
Silence, for a moment, then the blonde with the zig-zag part spoke up. "S-She's r-right..."

Summary
"It would seem," Giles was reluctant as he looked at the pages of the book, "that Tara's suspicions are correct."
He looked at them. "Not only do the new laws manifest, and in ways subtly and sometimes grandly different, but..." he looked at Dracula, who was rather remarkably well put together for a being that had transformed twice, lost his clothes, regained them, and had a remarkable talent for posing as if he hadn't thoroughly embarrassed himself in every single way imaginable, "writing in this book creates them."
"Oh great," Willow murmured, "just what we all need. The power to rewrite reality itself in our hands. Because if there's one thing the Scooby gang's proved it's that we're totally and absolutely responsible with power and would never, ever abuse it."

Summary
"You changed."
He was not surprised to see Cecil in his house, even if he'd shushed him from being too loud. The children were sleeping.
"Yes, I did." There was a proud tone to his voice.
"Could this Nolan? You told the truth. Not a pleasant one but you did speak it. He lied."
"Of course he did." Connor huffed. "Nolan is here to conquer Earth. He wants his own little Viltrumite or two, and then he'll take them and raise them into being good little soldiers and bathe the starways in this planet's blood."
"You were able to-"
"My expectations were very low. Acceptance. Friendship. Hugs. Marriage. Children. As I keep saying, a man with a name, not a beast without one. All it took to change me. Teach a man he's lower than a dog and then show him there are other ways, he will gladly accept them. And if I need to let the old beast out to play from time to time..." Connor shrugged. "Sometimes Conquest is necessary. Far, far less than what Viltrum taught me."
"I cannot deny that," Cecil mused.
"Guardians can't, either. They're merciful to me. They give me chances to learn. To learn the value of restraint."
He leaned forward.
