A late-night exchange in comments with
shapinglight led to this. In my head-canon Spike/William went to Cambridge, just as canonical Giles went to Oxford. Bearing in mind that he was about the right age in about 1872, which makes quite a few brash young newcomer universities ineligible, where do you think young William the not-yet Bloody studied?
Poll William's university - which one? Thank you for your input. If you vote "Cambridge", knowledge of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is not essential.
