Riley Finn has been having a bad week... will it get better... or simply worse? Written for Bloodshedbaby in response to a challenge she issued on the tag-board! lol. Co-written with the very talented Mefiant! AN: We tweaked the timeline a little and for the purposes of this fic Joyce is not sick. Thank you to Slaymesoftly and AmyB for betaing this fic.

Buffy's hurt. Spike and Dawn help.

In the summer between seasons 3 and 4, a heartbroken Buffy finds a bit of compassion in an unexpected place. Written for the Livejournal community Spuffy Wonderland's 2010 Art-to-Fic challenge. Banner by the incredibly talented Xaphania.

You know you wanna dance. Spike knew it, the fans knew it, and this time, Buffy knew it, too. Begins in the alley scene outside the Bronze during Fool for Love and moves swiftly off-canon. Thanks to dampersandspoons for beta reading, and Tanit for the banner.
