When Drusilla gets out of control, Spike is forced to ask the scoobies for help. Buffy agrees to help stop the vampiress but there are unexpected consequences

Buffy says she could never trust Spike...but how far is he willing to trust *her*?

Set post-NFA by several years, Buffy has mourned Spike and moved on. She gets a request from Dawn for some assistance, and decides to pay a visit. She finds more than she expected - and less than she might have wanted. Is the ghost Spike? What will happen to him if he remembers who he is? Will Buffy be the cause of his finally moving off this plane and onto another? Posted August, 2008

Buffy and Spike find the meaning of love amidst the terror of a monster neither knows how to fight. Canon through BtVS Season Five and elements of the first two or so episodes of Season Six are used, but not completely. Then it's AU to the extreme. For example, Dawn is 16 when my story begins. Pairings: Spike/Buffy; Dawn/Other; Spike & Dawn. And who knows what else might happen. Thanks to my betas on this story: caoilainn (first 20 chapters) and spikendru and spikesbint and whenbuffysmiles.

There are somethings you never forget. Spike shows up in Sunnydale for the first time determined to kill his third Slayer, Buffy. Buffy knows more about Spike than he anticipated, why? SPUFFY, I promise

This follows on from where my fic "Spike’s Will Be Done" left off and is pretty much a sequel to that story, so things will only really make sense if you read it first. For those of you who are wondering why the spelling of colour in the title doesn't agree with standard UK usage like the rest of the story, it's because it refers to the song by Cyndi Lauper, who of course spelled it the American way in her lyrics. Thanks go out to my two betas MadRog and t_geyer, without whom, no one other than me would be reading this. Before they came on board, this was just one chapter running to two hundred plus pages. They helped to sort out a workable structure and are currently giving me the necessary prompting to expand on certain plot lines raised within the story so far.

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.

Future fic. Will become NC-17.

Decades after the battle in Los Angeles and two years after a small army of Slayers destroyed the Dragvlok homeland, Dragvloks are on a mission to destroy the Slayer line. It’s up to a Slayer in California and the self-appointed Saviour of Slayers to stop the bloodshed. Both think they’re on a mission to save the next generation of Slayers, but they may just end up saving each other.
