Spike's 'Restless' dream, featuring fun with naked Buffy and other foreshadowy stuff. (Originally published in 2001.)

Imagine, dear reader, that Spike didn’t return to Sunnydale after Season 2. Well, not until now, that is.
 
Also, since she came back from her ‘I just sent Angel to Hell’ sojourn in L.A, Buffy has had a major life-changing experience.
 
Now they meet again…

AU, Post-Season Four, as it would be *remembered* by Buffy post-season five... meaning it includes Dawn :). Following the Maggie Walsh/Adam situation, the Initiative was not shut down, but simply placed under new leadership. That was all Riley would tell Buffy before he left her to re-join the Initiative. Around the same time, Spike disappeared, all evidence pointing to his being re-captured by the Initiative. One year later, the Initiative has successfully eliminated almost all of Sunnydale’s vampires and demons, leaving Buffy free to finally enjoy the sort of “normal” life she’s always wanted. Sounds great, right? Could it be too good to be true? (Come on, what do *you* think? hehe)

What might have happened on their last night in Sunnydale.

Riley Finn returns to Sunnydale, only to find that the woman he came back for is dead and buried in the ground. He stays, soon realising that everything has changed in his absence... not least the Slayer who is later brought back to life. He is soon to find that the rules this time around are different, with everyone playing a different role than before. **Now nominated for Best Alternate Reality and Most Original at Fang Fetish Round 10**

Set immediately post chosen. The Hellmouth is closed, Spike is gone. “Ya, Buffy, What will we do now?“

When Buffy refuses to kill a heartbroken Spike after he begs her to, it leads to something neither of them were expecting.

She could still remember the lighthearted feeling she had had whilst being invisible. She had felt free, happy – and almost wild. It had felt good. And it had reminded her that, really, she was in control of her own happiness. AU Season 6. One-shot. After her brief spell of invisibility, Buffy is desperate not to let herself get trapped in a spiral of misery once again. Add a drop of alcohol to the mix and who knows what might happen.

The monks gave Buffy and Spike one night of fake memories. That would have been enough to change their lives. But when you add a glowing key in the form of an unborn baby, well . . . things wouldn’t just change, they would be turned completely upside-down

REVISED 7/31/05 Spike’s poetry slam leads him to reminiscing on Buffy, of course. Spoilers for BTVS S7 "Chosen" and ATS S5 "Not Fade Away."

Sequel to Yearly; AU AtS; After Spike's all Solid Boy again, Wesley makes a call to a certain Slayer and her sister. My first completed work in two years! Yay me! Please encourage me by reviewing? Please?

And then they’re stumbling away together, two idiots spiraling toward destruction with no one else to cling to but each other. 

The necessary scene in Dead Things, after Buffy departs the police station.

Now she has all the time in the world and she hates it.
Special thanks to LisFayte for the help!

Begins during Afterlife and continues through Once More With Feeling. Buffy is feeling very alone and lonely and realizes the only comfort she really wants is from a certain bleach-blond menace...

A/N: I don’t really care for dark, depressing stories. Dark!fic just isn’t my thing. Too damn bad the muse wouldn’t listen, and despite my endless pleading, he demanded this one be written in response to the “Third Slayer” challenge posted for round nine of Fang Fetish Awards. I will warn you up front that this is not a fluffy, happily-ever-after story. And it takes place in an alternate reality wherein Angelus has never had a soul. Spike never came to Sunnydale, never got caught and chipped by the Initiative, and never fell in love with Buffy. He is still evil and soulless with no intentions towards the side of good.
