I flipped through Nancy Holder's new Buffy novel, Queen of the Slayers, in Waterstones today. I must own this book, and none of youse bitches can stop me, dammit.

Just in case anyone's wary of being spoiled:


There's some plot, but who cares. The main thing, the bit that I'd heard about but had to read for myself, is the part where Buffy holds hands with Spike and Angel and a mystical white light surrounds them and their daughter is created.

Yeah.

She has Angel's eyes and Spike's smile. And is a kick-ass Slayer. And she saves the world.

It's like the best bad fanfic ever, and it's available in paperback for me to love and cherish forever. Seriously, this has everything. It says Buffy, Angel and Spike are 'soulmates'. Seconds away from a fiery death after a bus crash, Buffy is glad to be dying because she'll see Spike again, and speculates that the flames are baking her cookie dough. The very last scene has Buffy pregnant with Spike and Angel's mystical baby. Oh, and I think I spotted Willow getting back together with Oz on my skim-through, as well as Andrew/Immortal subtext, but that's all incidental to the magic Mary Sue baby of canon OT3ness.

And I also have to pick up that Revenge of the Sith novelization where Palpatine asks Anakin if he loves Obi-Wan Kenobi more than his wife and there's a paragraph devoted to Obi Wan looking at Anakin's ass. Seriously.

You are LYING. Please tell me you're lying.

I swear on my life. It doesn't actually say she's pregnant, but what with the mystical vision earlier of the girl who Buffy specifically identifies as Spike and Angel's daughter, and her "resting her hand on her lower abdomen" promising that she'll see them again...

Holy Mother of FRANK. I need to go buy this right now. That's so fantastically awful. Spike and Angel's daughter? Oh, my GOD.

That has potential to be comedy GOLD. Sequel, sequel!

Screw sequel. That kind of brilliant insanity needs to be its very own SPINOFF.

And not the least because I totally want to hear about Spike and Angel arguing over who has to change the kid's diapers.

Not to mention what to call it. I can see the three-way argument between Nancy, Eoife and Britney.

And THEN there's the great debate as to who has to be the disciplinarian and who gets to be the fun one and the inevitable sulk when he has to be the hardass 'Think about your future' parent and Spike gets to be the cool fun dad.

I mean, is she having an acid flashback to My Two Dads? Because I think I might be.

he= Angel. Obviously.

Sequel, sequel!

I was reading very fast, misread that as "Tequila! Tequila!", and suddenly everything made a lot of sense.
