Post-series, post Angel. Some references to events in canon. Probably rated higher than needed, for violence and nudity (but as yet no strong sexual situations).  Also Spike can be a potty-mouth when he wants to be.

After angering a demon who wants something from him that he can't give, Spike is left helpless and pretty nearly hopeless too. How can he expect rescue when everyone he knows has either died or thinks he's still dead himself?

Currently I only have Chapter 1 posted here; other chapters are located at www DOT fanfiction DOT net SLASH ~peaceheather if you're feeling impatient. :)

In which Spike's day just really sucks, and Buffy's isn't all that great either.

I hope to have Chapter 7 posted before I go a-traveling for the holidays, but if not... you no longer need to go to fanfiction.net to have the most current chapters, 'cause BSV will be all caught up with the updates now.

I thought of leaving this after two segments, but that kind of cliffhanger just seemed cruel. This chapter needed a major overhaul and has been extensively edited and added to. Re-posted January 17.

These past couple chapters have been difficult to write and I'm concerned that the quality of the story, or the pacing, might be falling off. Especially: Is Buffy still in character? Let me know what you think. And thanks - all these positive reviews are kinda blowing my mind.A couple minor changes made to this chapter. Re-posted January 17.

You may want to go back and re-read the previous chapter, because once again I needed to edit and repost about a day after it first went up. <p> The brewery, specific beer, and the bit about Lake Erie and the Great Black Swamp are all completely true. Also we're getting pretty close to the end of this story.
