Quite Contrary

Song request from Poltavka
Song: "If he was back again" by Melnitsa (the lyrics is in Russian)
Genre: AU, crossover
Fandom: BtVS, Angel (+ The Return)
Summary: the story follows the lyrics pretty much (let's pretend for two minutes that gem of amara here is the engagement ring from 'Something Blue'? pretty please?). Post-Chosen (perhaps, even post-NFA). Spike finally desides to visit Buffy but the only person who meets him there is Dawn.
A/N: the title comes from fanfic by Jen. I didn't know how to end this vid and then I remembered the fanfic
Pairing: Spike/Buffy

Lyrics (in Russian) / voiceovers
the song is a dialog between two women: "If he was back again what would I tell him?" - "You would tell him I was waiting for him until my dying day" - "And if he didn't recognize me?" - "You could be like sister to him, he would probably suffer a lot" - "And if he asked where you were?" - "Then you would give him my golden ring. He would understand everything" - "And if he asked why your house was empty?" - "Then you would show him the hearth without fire and the unlocked front door". I'm not sure if there's such a metaphor in English though. The hearth in Russian means a family, a place where all family gather together and a woman, a wife is the keeper of fire (and the family)
