Another Wulfie Challenge response! It's post Chosen and Dawn's getting married. She wants her best friend there but Buffy's kicking up a fuss. It'll be the first time she's seen Spike since he burnt up in the hellmouth.

Over the last few weeks Buffy's life has been turned upside down. Riley left her. Her Mom died. The hell-god Glory's attacks have in no way ceased. And now someone from the past has crept to town, someone with a grudge against the slayer and her pals. Someone wants Buffy dead. Set in Season 5 of the Buffy timeline, post 'Intervention'.

Set in season 6, no real episodes in mind, but long after Buffy and Spike have had sex. The Trio puts a curse on Xander to mess with Buffy, but it doesn't go according to plan. Buffy and Spike get it on, and he helps her to figure out exactly what in the world was done Xander. Full challenge is at the end of the story, and italics=internal monologue.

Set immediately after 'Older and Far Away', Cecily (Halfrek) comes to visit Spike hoping they can have a little 'fun'. What will Buffy have to say about it?

Angel treated me like a fragile doll. Parker played the innocent, saying it was my choice. Riley was real, and human, and we loved to touch each other. None of them were Spike.

Another of Willow's spells go awry, causing Buffy to have to do a bit of magic of her own to sort things out!

Spike is attacked by a demon and loses his memory. Buffy decides to take care of him with some persistent nudging from her mom and Dawn, feeling a bit charitable because of the holidays.

What Spike learned and felt while living in Buffy’s house. Missing scene from First Date – what was Spike doing upstairs, anyway?
