An AU reunion ficlet (another Schmoop Bingo prompt) that ignores the comics. Major schmoop warning.

Takes place between Buffy Season Eight #36 and #37. (spoilers for the comics ahead! Read at your own risk!) How did Buffy end up in Spike's shower, anyway? PG, people. Get your minds out of the gutter. :D

Written for Seasonal Spuffy. Spike kisses Buffy at the end of Out of My Mind and wakes up panting and in horror at the revelation that follows…but not in this reality, when it wasn’t a dream at all. This is season five as it could have been, as Buffy struggles with her attraction to Spike and the feelings that inevitably follow.

Buffy has discovered that The Hellgod Glorificus captured and tortured Spike in an attempt to make him tell her where the key was. This is the “fang fic” that tried to barge its way into “A New Day”. I've reworked all chaps.

There was no body to bury. There was no funeral. There was nothing but the three rules and the knowledge that a thousand years of torment was nothing compared to a world without her in it. Spike embarks on a journey through the Gates of Hell to rescue the one he loves, but in order to save her, he must risk losing himself.

This story goes AU during the episode, Entropy. After witnessing a single kiss shared between Anya and Spike, Buffy is confronted with her true feelings for Spike. She's terrified that it might be too late to repair the damage she's done, but she can only hang on to the hope that Spike will be able to forgive her for all the heartache she's caused him.

“What are you so angry about? Isn’t this what you always wanted, for Buffy to come chasing after you?”

Set in S7 after Lies My Parents Told Me (Memory in S6). Buffy seeks solace with any part of Spike she can find. Little does she know that one moment of weakness will bring her closer to everything she ever wanted.

Three months after that final battle in "Not Fade Away", Giles and Andrew take a trip to L.A. to do their own investigation on what happened that night. A lucky break leads them to someone they thought was surely lost forever. In the midst of heartache and trials fraught with revenge and the consequences, can true love find its way? Now posting TWO chapters daily. Odd numbered chapter will be the second of those posted.

Buffy and Spike prepare to face Glory.

Summary: More than ten years after FNA, Buffy is still mourning Spike. One Christmas she reminisces about the past and begins to make plans for a new future.

Buffy has been brought back from the dead twice already, but the third time's the charm. Post-Not Fade Away.

Dawn’s wish to Halfrek is quite different from canon and may wind up being the best gift Buffy receives for her birthday, even if it is late in the receiving.
Setting: S6 and begins to go AU at “Older and Far Away” (written by Drew Z. Greenberg).

After the final battle, Spike and Angel are transported to the PTB courtroom. One of them will Shanshu and one of them will end up in Buffalo to face Buffy and help her get her heart and soul back. Except there is a catch: Spike arrives in Buffalo in 2014! Betad by Mabel Marsters.

Chapter 4 has been fixed! Buffy's changed. A lot. Sequel/Spin-off to my fic Sensation. ((Go read it first!!))
