Xander was supposed to be the gay character and Spike was supposed to be his dirty little secret in the basement. They were supposed to have endless hate sex and hide it from everybody because they were ashamed of each other. However, Seth Green left the show and the writers decided to make Willow gay. Joss loved the endless hate sex storyline so much he saved it for Spike/Buffy in S6.

302. Buffy put a stuffed bear on Kendra's grave.
001. The original script for "The Girl in Question" showed Spike and Angel's flight home from Rome. They drank excessively, complained some more, and eventually kissed, followed by a fade to black. The network made the writers take this out.
After the battle in Not Fade Away, Spike and Buffy reunited and became a couple.
I wish a lot of your fake facts were true!! A lot are just funny of course, but the one's like Spike visiting the graves and Jenny's posession of Willow are just awesome!! They totally fit!!
Thank you!
We’re glad that you enjoy the fake facts because we certainly had fun making them. It’s a mixture of our own headcanons as well, because sometimes Joss just ain’t enough ;)
To you, and everyone as well, you can send us submissions of fake facts about the Buffyverse. Whether it be outrageous or mixed with a little bit of the truth somewhere, is all up to you! YOU CAN GO WILD!
029: Willow was supposed to have a psychic dog named Miss Cleo, after the famous American medium, who would help the Scoobies sniff out vampires and demons as well as get visions from The Powers That Be. Fox nixed the idea since it was too similar to one being done on Ally McBeal. The concept was later rewritten as "Doyle"
067. Jenny's soul was what possessed Willow during the re-ensouling spell because she knew Willow was badly hurt, and she needed to carry out her final wish.
061. Pike's name in the 1992 Buffy movie originally had an 'S' in front of it, but the Kuzuis thought it was too villainous-sounding for Buffy's love interest. A decade later, Joss got the last laugh.

086. Every year Giles places flowers on Jenny Calendar's grave. Always red roses, because those were her favorite, even though they hold bad connotations for him.
029. Buffy never told anyone, but Ford's betrayal was almost as bad as when Angel lost his soul.
074. Cordelia actually had five sisters who weren’t as pretty as her, so they were shipped off to boarding school.
