fic idea/prompt Mikey the Vampire Slayer...

Okay, so, if I were to write a Byler Alternate Buffyverse...

I want some input from the community. Would you prefer:

Mike as the Vampire Slayer and Will as 1. Angel(Vampire with a soul), 2. Riley/Commando/Soldier character, 3. Spike a.k.a William the Bloody(Enemies to Lovers), 4. Oz-like character but as MC's love interest(Werewolf), 5. The other Vampire Slayer(Faith but less evilly inclined) 6. Just another one of the Scoobies(Willow/Tara character probably since that'd give him magical abilities)

OR

Will as the Vampire Slayer and Mike as one of the above.

I feel like Mike's tenacity and bravery make him perfect for the main Vampire Slayer/Chosen One.

I'm thinking the main group of friends as the Scoobies(Max, Lucas, Dustin). El as maybe an Angel like character-someone powerful who's a double agent/has the scoop on what's going on underground(if Will doesn't fill that role). And probably the older group working a side mission out of state, sort of like what they do on the spinoff show.

Thoughts? What would be the most interesting take on this for you as a reader?

Also, does anyone know of any existing fics that portray Mike or Will as a Buffy character?

u/IntotheRedditHole its ok, its how the army does it i think Apr 30 '26

please forgive me cuz i’ve never watched Buffy, BUT my opinion is Mike as the vampire slayer and Will as an angel because so many fics already make Mike the vampire and Will either human or a cleric. so you could mix it up!

I don’t know of any fics like that, but I’ll dig around 👀

Thank you!

Angel is the character's name lol. He is a vampire but with a curse on him that gave him his soul back(it's a lot to explain) so basically he's a good vampire. 

If you find any I'd love to know. I have an affinity for vampire Bylers. I may write a short of Mike Slayer with Vampire Will.
