My husband and I run a small commercial cleaning company that we started after getting out of mainframe computer careers. Both of us are BtVS and Angel fans but I was bitten with the writing bug thanks to the character Spike. Right now my life is mostly work, sleep, reading and writing. The good life I guess.

All but a couple of my stories are Beta'd (oh yea, you'll be able to tell). My Beta is Scarlett2U (Mary) one of the best people on the planet and the finest editor I could ever hope to have.

  

 
After the Initiative is “shut down” a fatal decision is made that will change the face of the world and uproot everyone Buffy knows before placing her in the greatest jeopardy of her life.  A new world is born but is it one they would wish to live in?

She's been gone 5 days, 14 hours, 17 minutes.  Everyone is still is reeling from Buffy's sacrifice and grieving in their own way. All heroes deserve to be remembered no matter how short or long a time has passed since their sacrifice at least that's what Dawn insists. 

In honor of Memorial Day in the USA and all those who fell in battle.  The Gift aired on May 22, 2001 and Memorial Day that year was May 28, 2001.

Setting: S5: Slightly less than a week after The Gift soon after sundown on Memorial Day 2001.

 prompt:“At the end of S7 Lies My Parents Told Me I would like to have Buffy lying on her bed thinking of every time Giles has let her down, betrayed her. Late in the night, after everyone has fallen asleep, she makes her way down to the basement to talk to Spike because she can’t keep the anger and hurt she is feeling to herself. While talking with the vampire, she comes to another realization: that Spike is the only one she can vent to and she can count on no matter what.”   Written for a fundraiser for Spikeslovebite on the death of her son, Kain.

Loving Buffy is never a stable environment as Spike has learned since her return from heaven. All he’s done is to try to help and all it’s achieved is to make things worse. So what might actually help this broken Slayer?

Spike has more than a bit of time on his hands there in Buffy’s basement and more poetry in his newly restored soul than poor William ever imagined. Idle minds lead to musings and idle hands can lead to bad poetry.

S4 during “Something Blue.” Summary: What if there were a residual attraction after Willow’s spell? What if that attraction were real? What would a witch do to make it right? Once more, someone else decides what is best for the Slayer. A/N: “Something Blue” was written by Tracey Forbes and I use some of her dialogue in this story.

Why might he have had reason to be afraid to hunt her down after his return? Just what DID happen that last night? Here be angst. A/N: Spike and Giles quote from “King Henry V” act 3 scene 1 by Wm. Shakespeare. Tiny snippet of dialogue from “Beneath You.”

This is a rewrite of S4 continuing the metaphors from previous seasons. There is no Adam in this story. Buffy and the Scoobies enter the world of college and work and discover the world is not black and white as they have been taught. They are confronted with realms of gray area and must learn to change and grow.

There’s a glitch using those Ghorah eggs as a surprising result develops from Dawns attempt to bring back her mother. Those developments both thrill and horrify Spike as the scoobies and Buffy discover the man behind the mask. Can a mothers love heal and bind or should the past be left in the grave? Setting: Season 5 mid episode "Forever" going AU from there. Liberal changes made to the ritual Dawn uses for the resurrection spell. A/N and disclaimer: All characters and concept belong to Joss Whedon and ME, Fox, WB, UPN and other corporations affiliated with same. Thanks to Mr. Whedon’s generous permission, I am using his creations in my original plot for no financial gain on my part. Bits of dialogue from transcripts of "Forever" written by Marti Noxon. The true "PTB" have given William the surname of Pratt. For the purposes of this story I researched my little heart out on that surname and chose a prominent branch of Pratt’s (adding my own fictional portion). Thus I offer my apologies to those actual family members who might not appreciate my little addition. Spike’s immediate family (father and paternal grandmother in particular) are purely the construct of my imagination.

A/N: Spike is not physically present in this story but he is the heart and soul of it really. He appears in flashbacks and hinted at at the end. I hope it fits the guidelines for the archive.

The battle against the Senior Partners brought our heroes to the alley against hordes of demons. This story assumes much more was going on in the back rooms of W & H, things that lead to a group rescue effort that will involve almost all the BtVS and AtS main characters in one epic battle against evil.

Pretty much AU all the way, for obvious reasons. Starts in S4 at the beginning of "Goodbye, Iowa" then takes a quick turn to S1. Spike learns not only to be careful what you wish for, but also that when you swim in the Nile too long, you could drown. Written for the seven_seasons LJ community innagural season.

set in the timeframe of AtS S5 (Approximately 1 year post Chosen). Buffy has decided she is ready to commit to a real and lasting relationship. Her cookies are baked and ready to serve. All canon official up to Damaged episode of AtS S5 but it is unnecessary to have viewed any or all WARNING: This story IS Spuffy but it begins with Buffy unaware of Spike's return from dusting in the hellmouth. This is about her finally learning who and what she really wants, mistakes are made.
