Body Swap

I'd really like to compile a list of body swap fics!

Body swap can be the famous Buffy-Faith switch in season four, or any other plots authors have come up with, but it would be nice to write a note of who switches with who beside a title, if not a whole summary.

Let's get started!


-- In Pieces by Ariel Dawn
Begins at the end of "Who are You?" When the body switch happens, parts of Buffy and Faith's get stuck in the each other. AU from there. found on Bloodshedverse

Body Shots by NautiBitz
A smutty spin on S4's "Who Are You?": Wearing Buffy's body, Faith meets Spike for the first time and has her wicked way with him. When back-to-normal Buffy finds out, she's not amused. (Brief moments of S/F, but this is an S/B romance.) found on BSV

Like Warm Champagne by Slaymesoftly
Set in Season IV during and just after Faith's body switching adventure. Some elements from the espisode, but definitely MY version of how it should have gone. found on BSV

Walking in Your Shoes by Omaira
Buffy and Drusilla switch bodies in Season 2 "Lie to Me" and take off from there. found here, Spuffy Realm

arina summer on ff.net has 2 body swap fics.
the body swap
A S2 Halloween fic where Drusilla and Buffy swap bodies and Spuffy-ness ensues. Buffy doesn't become her costume but becomes Drusilla unbeknownst to Spike. A story I've been requested to write. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5236149/1/The_Body_Swap


The Body Swap: Version 2
Season2 Buffy has died in S6 and Willow tries a 2nd dark spell after the 1st failed . The PTB intervene, set the slayer up to be with her mate in S2 the only issue is that for it to be possible, Buffy must be in Dru's body http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5823907/1/The_Body_Swap_Version_Two

This one is for a select audience but I mention it for those that might be interested:

Breaking a Slayer by Dark Rhiannon

http://www.athenewolfe.com/justrewards/viewstory.php?sid=937

Author's summary: This is loosely based on BtVS "Who Are You" and "This Year's Girl" with lines from those and from Ats "Sanctuary," and other eps, however, I would call it AU because I've played bloody hell with the timelines. Dawn doesn't exist, Buffy hasn't slept with Riley yet, Spike's feelings are more pronounced, and events happen quite a bit differently than they did in either series. Buffy/Spike/Angel.

My comment: Faith switches bodies with Buffy in Who Are You and purposely wreaks havoc in her life, including exposing her 'body' to serious harm, rape, etc. Buffy, once she has her own body back is shattered and goes to Spike for help and is joined by Angel later. So it's a stark story, and if the idea of Angel involved too is a problem then it is not for you. But for those who like the three of them and can handle the hard stuff it's a great story. Let the 'buyer' beware, so to speak.

I absolutely love this story, though it's sadly a WIP when really interesting ideas about what being a Slayer or vampire means are about to be explored... Still, I strongly recommend it!

Who am I? by SciFi_Gk

Response to BSV Challenge #36 – "In the episode "Who Are You?", what if, instead of Buffy and Faith switching bodies, Buffy and Spike got switched?" A/N: Okay, so the challenge said Buffy and Spike get switched "instead" of Buffy and Faith, but I couldn't do it because I just LOVE the scene where Faith – in Buffy's body—gives Spike that speech about how she could ride him at a gallop until he popped like warm champagne. So, needless to say, I had to include that. **snicker** And, well, that just changes things a little. Come on, be a sport, okay?


and wasn't there some fic where all the Scoobies got mixed up for a while? Maybe when Willow was doing a spell around the time of Tabula Rasa?

This might help you- I've got a list of body swap fics here.
