A twist on the Season VI wedding episode in which things go a bit better for everyone. Sequel to As I Should Be. Beta'd by the over-worked and underpaid Always_jbj.

Set in season 4 of the alternate Sunnydale "our" Buffy was sent to in "Prologue to Life/I Know You". Buffy is trying to plan a wedding and cope with Adam at the same time.  See the extensive AN for a lengthy explanation of this "verse" if you aren't familiar with it.

Written for Fantasmagoria's Tabula Rasa episode week. What if the spell had lasted longer. What relationships might have been different, and how would that work out when the spell was broken and they all remembered who they are? A Joan and Randy story, sparked by a banner that Always_jbj created. Said banner to go up when I figure out how to do it...Beta read for the most part by Gillo, sitting in most wonderfully for poor crippled Always_jbj who couldnt move her arm for days.

Set at Christmas time in the comics verse, but I don't think you need to read or know a lot about them. Spike has gone off with his bugs to see if he can get along without Buffy (and to have adventures in his own 5-issue comic), Buffy has, as usual, not done anything to stop him - even though she isn't happy about it. She's been fighting zompires with Dowling (cop who has been fighting with her) and worrying about Spike. News of the crashed ship has reached them, but no word about his fate.

Short Halloween - Season II evil Spike

A sequel to "Double Bubble Toil and Trouble..." written for my friend R. who needed some cheering up. Begins a week or  two after the end of Double Bubble. Willow has not yet regained her powers and Spike and Buffy have a semi-platonic relationship in which they are not admitting to anyone what they did while they were MIA together, but Spike has been clear that he would like more. Since the first story had a non-canon twist to the spell Willow did, canon comes and goes in this one as permitted by the changed relationships and events.

Banner challenge criteria:#75 by Solstice
Characters: Season 4 ensemble, Oz
Rating: Any
Season/Episode: Season 4, after Oz has left Willow, before Spike has escaped the Initiative (bit of a timeline juggle, necessary for the plot)
Must have:
1. Oz is captured by the Initiative after breaking things off with Willow. The Scoobies are none the wiser, thinking that he has left town as intended.
2. Inside, the very human-seeming Oz is a cause of uncertainty for many of the soldier boys, and is thus kept in his wolfish state to allay their unease. However, he shifts back into human form when pitted against a familiar snarky vamp - who then refuses to fight him (because he doesn't fancy the headache, not because he's principled). A decidedly ruffled Walsh dumps the pair in a cell together, hoping that one will solve the problem of the other before too long.
3. Instead, Spike and Oz bond (as they always should have done!) and plot the bloody downfall of their captors.
Can have:
1. Spike and Oz bonding over music, wit and pop culture.
2. Spike escaping (with Oz's help) and seeking the help of Buffy and the Scoobies, rather than high-tailing it out of town as they might have expected / or Oz escaping (with Spike's help) and convincing the Scoobies that they need to charge the Initiative and rescue his friend
3. Riley? Friend or foe? I'll leave that up to you.
Can’t have:
1. Oz dying. Nope. Not here.

Very retro "fix season 6" fic in which a slightly less damaged Buffy and a smarter Spike find a place to relax and be themselves without worrying about the Scoobies or slaying.

“I only told you I was a poet to prove to you how different it is, being made a vampire. I was weak and human and pathetic,” he said with disgust. “I’m a totally different creature now.”
    Buffy looked up at him. “So why keep the poem?”
Buffy catches Spike writing down the song he'd sung in "Once More With Feeling."

Takes place during the Magic Box scene of "Entropy."

There’s a glitch using those Ghorah eggs as a surprising result develops from Dawns attempt to bring back her mother. Those developments both thrill and horrify Spike as the scoobies and Buffy discover the man behind the mask. Can a mothers love heal and bind or should the past be left in the grave? Setting: Season 5 mid episode "Forever" going AU from there. Liberal changes made to the ritual Dawn uses for the resurrection spell. A/N and disclaimer: All characters and concept belong to Joss Whedon and ME, Fox, WB, UPN and other corporations affiliated with same. Thanks to Mr. Whedon’s generous permission, I am using his creations in my original plot for no financial gain on my part. Bits of dialogue from transcripts of "Forever" written by Marti Noxon. The true "PTB" have given William the surname of Pratt. For the purposes of this story I researched my little heart out on that surname and chose a prominent branch of Pratt’s (adding my own fictional portion). Thus I offer my apologies to those actual family members who might not appreciate my little addition. Spike’s immediate family (father and paternal grandmother in particular) are purely the construct of my imagination.

In an AU where Spike has killed the Sunnydale Slayer, Kendra, and set himself up as Master, a new Slayer moves into town and gives him a run for his money.

Let's see what would happen if we combine William, Spike, Cockney Spike, Mary Poppins, and a Pirate into one character. All at once. Oh, and Buffy tries to help.

Takes place the night after Dead Things. A rattling dream forces Buffy to realize the wrongness of her actions. When she goes to see Spike to apologize, he wants her to atone in a difficult way. Can Buffy fulfill his request? What will she have to give up in the process?

Set a few weeks after Joyce’s death. Buffy’s attempt to keep her emotions under control is broken in a very odd way.
