Buffy/Spike, platonic partnership

[itsnotmymind]

Vague idea for a post-show fic I will probably never write (note that I do not read comics or consider them canon, so I am just thinking in terms of show canon here):

What if Buffy and Spike decided to have a relationship/partnership that was romantic, but not sexual? That after the events of Seeing Red, Buffy could not find it in herself to enjoy sex with Spike, but they still wanted a relationship? Maybe an open relationship, where they might have other boyfriends/girlfriends on the side with whom they did have sexual relations.

I think fic is for exploring areas of interest that are intriguing and unfamiliar. I also think such fic would find an audience among folks who're exploring their own sexuality and how to experience relationships outside the het/cis/monogamous boxes.

Maybe some day I'll come up with a plot and actually write it.
