PWP answer to a challenge issued by RedWulfe on the Bloodshedverse Tagboard

Set immediately post-Once More With Feeling and drastically off-canon. Buffy runs out of the alley, away from the emotional danger of her kiss with Spike, only to encounter a danger far greater. Banner by Tanit.

Buffy gets a lesson in parenting when Dawn's teenage rebellion tests their relationship.

Set immediately at the end of AtS, Buffy receives a phone call from Giles. Author's Notes: Huge thanks go to my marvellous Beta Mabel_M for all her hard work - You are a star. Disclaimer - I don't own anything (although if Spike was for sale ...!) and no copyright infringement is intended.

Post-NFA Spuffy happy couple-ness. Buffy wants Spike-sex. Buffy gets Spike-sex.

It’s Christmas Eve, and Buffy has to deliver a Christmas pudding to Spike. She finds him drunk and lonely, and discovers that even the most hardened of hearts can be melted by a little Christmas cheer. Set during season five.

Spike dismissed the memory. His thoughts were just some old remnant of his human life, a deja-vu that had nothing to do with the reality of the situation. They were vampire and slayer, not a lady and her escort. Spike considers the evening he spent with the slayer, the night of the truce. Set after Becoming.

A while back, I wrote a little two-chapter tale called Drive It Like You Stole It. (Also archived here.) It was just a little something, kind of light, about an adventure involving Spike, Buffy and a fluffy demon dog. I hadn't planned to write a sequel, but my fickle Muse held a gun to my head and told me to tell you that this is what happened next.

Buffy and Spike have a fight and something terrible happens, which causes Spike to regret his actions.

“You want to feel everything I can do for you. You want all of me, to fill that hollow space inside you. You have my mind, you have my flesh, you’ve had my heart for years.” He whispered in her ear before he bit her, bruising her with his human teeth, but he let go long before he drew blood. “You can have my pain, love. You can have my pleasure. But I’m keeping this.”

Season II, Buffy sneaks into the mansion and finds something she hadn't expected. Just a short pre-Spuffy convo between them.

It's late season 2, and Spike discovers Buffy locked out of her house after patrol. Shenanigans ensue.

Assume Buffy and Spike made their truce a bit earlier than in canon - leaving them some time before Acathla - and that Joyce still doesn't know Buffy's the Slayer. Memories have been adapted to include Dawn.

One shot. Set AtS. I had some trouble reconciling Spike as portrayed in AtS with the Spike of Season 7 on BtVS. Here's my take on why.

Her friends had betrayed her and forced her to walk the war torn streets alone. She forgot he always had her back though.
