Picks up directly following 'The Gift'. My version of Season Six. Spuffy all the way! The Powers bring Buffy back because of a prophecy, but what does that mean for her and Spike? What about Dawn? We've got Whistler, Joyce, prophecies, love, the Key, Angel, LA gang, Scooby fun, research parties, bit of action, snarking, quipping, great dialogue ('least I think so), and comedy. Plenty of spuffy loving. Will prob'ly end up being pretty long and involved. Come along with me as I see where fate leads our favorite couple. Oh, and the others are there too. *eg* Disclaimer: The characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer are owned by Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, and Fox studios.

Meli and Stephi- you guys are the best! Stephi- I can honestly say that I don't know where I would be if it weren't for your and all your help. You rock!! This IS a WIP, so bear with me.
