Spike: Spike. You're that Anointed guy. I read about you. You've got Slayer problems. That's a bad piece of luck. Do you know what I find works real good with Slayers? Killing them.
Colin: Can you?
Spike: A lot faster than Nancy-boy there. Yeah, I did a couple Slayers in my time. I don't like to brag. (can't keep a straight face) Who am I kidding? I *love* to brag! There was this one Slayer during the Boxer Rebellion, and... - from 'School Hard'

x. rahirah wonders if other couples or characters have a ur story. What's a ur story? "a story which recurs again and again, regardless of the time period in which it’s set. It doesn’t have anything to do with the show’s canon; in fact, it contradicts that canon in several particulars. In one guise or another, it shows up in everything from Lynn’s S2 Chains series to post-Chosen fic written last week. In its basic form, the ur-B/S story goes something like this: A spell or prophecy requires that a Slayer and a vampire have sex, either to avert or produce some mystic event. The sex produces a spiritual bond between the two and grants them some kind of additional powers. A miraculous pregnancy results, with the child possessing mystical abilities which exceed those of its parents. The child then goes on to fulfill some great destiny."
