HOME SWEET
HOME
 After
being chipped (Season 4), Spike lived for a
while with Giles and Xander.
When he found out that he could fight demons, he
moved to a crypt in one
of the Sunnydale's cemeteries, where he lived
until he left the city and
went to Africa to get his soul back (end of
Season 6).
Spike did
his crypt over while Buffy
was dead (between seasons 5 and 6), getting
several hugs and furniture,
making it cozy.
He told
Buffy that downstairs was quite posh when she
dropped
by, soon after being brought from the dead (Afterlife).
On
Dead
Things, he said he ate a decorator
once, maybe something had stuck...
Buffy said
that the crypt was "comfy" (Potential).
Tour
Upstairs —
sarcophagus (Spike and
Buffy had sex on top of it in As You
Were), refrigerator
for keeping the blood fresh, comfy chair and
the old, crappy, TV set:
Downstairs
— the bed and
the hugs:
The bed
was different when
[Harmony]
used to live in Spike's crypt:
Downstairs was
trashed in As
You Were, after Buffy (along with
what's-his-name, that tall and
annoying guy she used to date) blew up the
place:
When Spike went
to Africa, he left
his friend [Clem]
taking care of the crypt — because a nice place
like that could be taken
by others very quickly. However, when
soulled Spike returned
from his quest, for some reason, he didn't go to
his old home; maybe, a
cemetery isn't an appropriated place for a
soulled being to live; Spike didn't belong to a
crypt anymore. Neither to a basement, for that
matter,
but it was in one (Sunnydale High's) that the
vampire was living when Buffy
found him after 4 months without seeing Spike (Lessons). Some weeks went
by; eventually, Buffy
realized that something evil in the basement was
harming Spike's mental
health, and so she took him to Xander's
apartment (Him),
where Spike got a closet-bedroom:
Soon,
the Scoobies found out that the vampire was
killing and siring people against
his will, and, after Spike begged for help,
Buffy took him to her house.
He didn't stay there for long, because he was
kidnapped by the [Bringers]
(Never Leave Me). After being
rescued by Buffy (Showtime),
Spike returned to Buffy's house, and was given a
cot in the basement, where
he had good moments with his beloved Slayer (Chosen).
SPIKE'S
DIGS ON ANGEL
After his
death in BtVS, Spike
reappeared, incorporeal, on Angel. He
haunted Wolfram & Hart
("Me? I gotta nest in somebody else's roost.
It's not bleeding right!")
until he was made corporeal again (Destiny).
Afterwards, [Lindsey
McDonald] — who was working with Eve
against the Fang Gang — gave him
a place to crash, again in a basement (Soul
Purpose), which
ended up being the QG for Team Angel in the
very end of the show.
Spike's
ultimate home was very humble, but at least, had
a TV set (without cable,
to the vampire's dismay) where Spike got to play
his favorite video game,
Crash
Bandicoot, and relax before the big
battle.
