Far away from home, in a boarding school on the Isles of Scilly, Buffy is trying to find her place in the world. Finding a kindred spirit in a boy named William Pratt, she has no idea of the obstacles they’ll have to face. The school is full of dark secrets that could put the students' lives in danger and when a mysterious woman steals William’s soul, everything falls apart. Can true love really surpass all? The story starts out as All Human, but it’s not. *Nominated at the Sunnydale Memorial Fanfiction Awards Round 21 for the Best AU.* Thank you! :)

Forced to be close together for an infinite amount of time, it stands to reason that mortal enemies would drive each other insane. But when it comes to a self-righteous, uptight slayer and an irritating, chipped vampire, there is no reason. This story, set just after S4, is full of banter and innuendo, so read on if you are interested. Also, Riley left to roam the jungle a little early so he isn't in the picture.

Life, freedom, feelings. There was no place for them here. This was hell, and she its most valued possession. Buffy's life takes an unexpected turn after being kidnapped, and as the line between sanity and madness starts to blur, the opportunity of freedom will present itself. Will she find enough will to live to take it, or will she take the easy way out and give in to the pain consuming her soul? And what does one ruthless vampire thirsty for her life have to to do with all this?
