(Post BtVS & Angel) Buffy has a run-in with Spike. They haven't seen each other in a long time and things have changed. Sorta. Spuffiness, ppl. :)

This is one of the first fics I ever wrote and it has been unfinished until now. It is set in Season Three and I began writing it during the episode Enemies of Buffy. (the one where Faith takes Angel's soul and thinks he's bad again, but he's pretending). This picks up where that episode left off and quickly becomes alternate universe and Spuffy. It's funny, angsty, and romantic all at once. Remember ... this was written during Season Three. :) Please tell me how you liked the ending. It has taken me half a decade to write it. :)

From a bunny sparked by discussion of several small bits during Pangs and Something Blue that allow room for a softer, less judgmental Buffy and a Spike who is more amenable to Giles' suggestion that he may have been chipped for a reason. 

Banner by the very talented Always_jbj who also beta read the whole thing. :)

The sequel to Love's Bitch. Spike is taken prisoner by a vampire gang, and held captive by someone he never expected to see again. Uncertain about their relationship, will Buffy choose to save him? And that's only the beginning of their troubles...

Post Triangle. To fight an evil Buffy has to journey not only into her own subconscious, but the subconscious of one bleached vampire, to find the answer to a riddle.

*AUTHOR'S NOTE! STORY IS COMPLETE! GO BACK AND READ THE CHAPTERS YOU MISSED!!!* When you're evil, you're evil, right? Not necessarily. Not in William The Bloody's case, anyway. He's still as big of a Big Bad as they come -- but keep in mind that it's always been his passion that has gotten him as far as he is now. And maybe, just maybe, if that passion were tweaked a little bit... directed toward a certain person... We could see what Spike was really capable of.

NEW SUMMARY: Spike goes on a quest to atone for wronging Buffy. But, there are people in high places that do not want him to succeed- or survive. If he does, will he change the world? Canon until "Seeing Red." Goes AU from there. NOMINATED at the Spuffy Awards Round 12 for "BtVS Rewritten" & at BIFA for "Best WIP, Best Angst/Drama", also nominated at the Spark & Burn Awards, and at LLGA for Best angst, Saga, and Plot. WINNER Fang Fettish Round 5: Best Supporting Character-Giles. RUNNER UP at the Spark and Burn Awards 2nd Round for both "Best Angst" and "Best Fight Scene."

Post Season 5, veers from Canon, but uses elements that were seemingly left discarded by the writers. Season 5, The Gift. Chapters condensed.

Six months after the battle with Angelus and his forces.
