A short little Spuffy interlude, set sometime in Season 6.

During Willow's thy-will-be-done spell, a little inadvertent claiming takes place and Buffy's life will be changed forever. Just how will she cope being connected to the vampire that is the bane of her existence?

Did you ever wonder what could have happened if our favourite vamp had reacted differently after being disinvited from the Slayer’s home? Set immediately post-Crush, Spike takes a stand, and Buffy is forced to face some harsh truths. Will she finally admit her true feelings, or continue swimming in that famous river called denial? Will it even matter? May contain mild spoilers up to and including Crush.

Can five minutes make a world of difference? An alternate spin on S6, starting from the climax of "The Gift."
