Post NFA. Spike returns to LA after being gone for almost seven years. He doesn’t know why he came back, until he meets a little girl that will change his life forever.

Sequel to In League with Serpents. Spike and Buffy make a strange discovery during what should have been a routine search. While the Scoobies try to identify their find, Spike tries to figure out where he stands with the slayer. If only strange dreams, a matchmaking coatl, a teenager’s idea of “help,” and the vampire’s own insecurities would stop getting in the way. Runner up at the Fang Fetish Awards, Round 3 for best alternate reality. Nominated at the Fang Fetish Awards, Round 3 for best WIP, the Spark and Burn Awards, Round 1 for best WIP, best Buffy characterization, and best original character, and the Love's Last Glimpse Awards, Round 16 for best WIP, best Spike Characterization, best plot, and best original character.

Spike, on a hiatus from Dru’s company meets a certain blond pre-slayer 15 year old and decides to keep her.

Goes off-canon during Bargaining. When Willow's spell pulls Buffy out of heaven, it leaves her insane, terrified, and unable to communicate. The Scoobies are convinced she came back wrong. Spike is convinced that he can reach her. And Buffy's misconceptions about this hell she has awakened to lead to a host of problems and heartache. Who will be the one who can guide this fallen angel back to life?  

Takes place in an AU where things went a little differently at the end of "What's My Line", and the Initiative came to town a bit earlier than in canon.
Spike is not paralyzed in the church that night, but his unlife is still irrevocably changed. In a misguided attempt to restore her childe, Drusilla performs a spell that goes terribly wrong, and will change the course of not only Spike's life, but the Slayer's as well, forever.

Fourth "book" in the series that started with Spike's Will Be Done, and continued with True Colors and Ring of Fire. These links will take you to the different story main pages on my own site ('cause I know those URLs by heart and I'm lazy). Like True Colors and Ring of Fire, it has been split into several sections to make life easier. Spike (soulless and unchipped) and Buffy are together in just about all senses of the word - engaged, claimed, but it's all still pretty new and in the middle of working out exactly what shape their relationship will take they have to help Dawn overcome the trauma of what happened in 'Ring of Fire'. Wes has come to Sunnydale for a 'trial period' but hasn't worked out whether he has a place there yet. The warning signs are beginning to show re Willow's magic/power issues. Anya and Xander did get married but Anya is losing patience with some of Xander's attitudes and things have also gone rather differently in LA. When it comes down to it, everyone is struggling in their own way to find happiness. Not really so much S7 yet as post an alternative S6.

The victim of a spell gone awry, Buffy finds herself trapped in Victorian London, where she meets a man surprisingly familiar to her.
