Each week in the run-up to February Fangfest, we’ll be spotlighting a different sub-pair/group within the Fanged Four, because your works (and our love) can be for those individual relationships too! We’ll be sharing some fic and art that we adore which depict them, and hope you’ll enjoy and go shower the creators in comments and kudos/likes!! And oh, hey, if it serves as propaganda for you to go create your own things? Win-win.
Next up, Sparla. The two wonderfully caustic blondes, the oldest and the youngest in the family. Both are deeply driven by their romantic relationships, giving their heart wholly, and both are incredibly perceptive and witty, as skilled at gutting with a sharp turn of phrase as with a blade. For all that, they’re very different, and in some areas (like the family cult) are diametrically opposed. By the time Spike is Turned, Darla is more than done with her own era of finding excitement in starting chaos with vampire hunters and angry mobs, but Spike will insist on making his own rash mistakes fun. These two mostly exist in negative space. They lived together for at least twenty years, but we barely see them interact on screen, and they don’t have a single conversation or scene together between just the two of them. Of course, this means that they’re ripe fodder for fanworks, to fill out the shape of the relationship between these two deliciously compelling characters.
In this post, we’ll be sharing the delightful Sparla works from 2024’s February Fangfest and Fanged Four Family Bingo. Enjoy! And don’t forget to leave a comment and kudos :D
