Buffy has an epiphany while arguing with Giles over Spike. Will her date with Robin Wood further muddle things between the Slayer and her insecure vampire? Will her words undo the damage already done? Can a bit of honesty change their path?
Setting: S7 Beginning of “First Date” and AU from there

 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.

It wasn’t until Buffy was living and slaying in San Francisco that her fascination with black motorcycle boots became an actual problem.

A short, fluffy fic in the tradition of the post-S8 "Dawn & Xander's fire escape" genre.

After the altercation with Glory in the hospital during Blood Ties, Buffy discovers that property damage has consequences.

Sequel to The Vamp Around the Corner.

Warning: This is a crossover fic with Justice League Unlimited. Set in AtS s. 5. Spoilers for "Destiny."

Spike returns from Africa, ensouled but sane, to find the Scoobies devastated by the events of the spring. Nobody's rolling out the welcome mat--but someone *does* have a little surprise for him....

Spike. Buffy. Adam. Spike’s impulsive, but he’s not stupid. Romance, deceit, smartassery, and Riley punchage. Spike/Buffy, branches off mid-“Yoko Factor.”

    “What’s happened?” Angel asked over the phone.
    “I just needed to talk to you,” Buffy said.
    Another pause. “About what?”
    Buffy almost blurted it out. Spike’s gotten his soul back! He’s gotten his soul, and it’s driven him mad. What the hell do I do?!

A sequel to "The Way a Vamp Loves His Car", this one is much more AU than that little BTL fic. It's a less angsty season VI, with a more understanding Buffy.

AN There is a lovely banner by Always_jbj which I will put up shortly.

Angsty little fic set during "As You Were". Leaves room for continuation, but I haven't yet.

A (not so) Comic Christmas that employs the first half of issue #16, then goes it’s own way. So, story was Jossed before it was written, but that’s what fanfic is all about, right? Twisting canon to make it Spuffy. J  AU season 9 that begins with a little scene between Dowling and Buffy after Dawn and Xander have indicated they seem to be dating – or should be.   Warning – spoilers for the comic hinted at in the scene change.

Takes place during and after Willow's My Will Be Done Spell in Something Blue - the title says it all...

A sequel to "A Mother's Plea", by first and only (until this) vamped Buffy fic. Buffy is adjusting to her new status and preparing to prevent the Mayor's ascension at the same time.

The requested sequel to ZoeGrace's wonderful little "Boy Smell Nice" - begins with the last line from her fic. Not beta'd, so let me know what I screwed up. ETA - Always_jbj has now read it and my screw-ups have been fixed. lol

More ETA: It has been brought to my attention that it's been a long time since Zoe's story was available on the BSV (or anywhere else) and that a quick summary of it might be helpful to readers. So, here's all you need to know about that:
Spike has stumbled across Buffy while she is under the influence of the magic beer that created Cave Buffy.  He becomes distracted from killing her when Cave Buffy decides that he smells good.   During the course of the following activities, he bites her and tries to claim her.  But all in all, it’s a fun evening for them.  We begin with the very last line of Zoe’s story…
