During the episode 'Wrecked', Buffy draped garlic all over her room and held a crucifix on her bed while she waited to see if Spike would come to her. Well, in this fic ... he did.

Spike's POV. Riley has left Buffy and she has been coming to him for emotionless sex. He thought he could handle it. Can he?

Buffy is breaking down after Spike's death at the Hellmouth, and runs away to Toronto. When Spike comes back from the dead, can he and some of the Scooby gang find Buffy before The Immortal does? And what exactly is Buffy hiding...??

Sequel to Another Life, third in the Rest of Our Lives series. Fourteen years after Another Life, the Scoobie gang is together again to celebrate the achievement of their next generation.

Prequel to Not Quite Home for the Holidays. Early season five, still adjusting to life with the Initiative’s chip, loathing his unlife, and resisting the after affects of a dream, can Spike hold out against the lure of the easy money? And just what does it take to get him to accept who it is that he really wants - hint: it's not Harmony. Note: I think I posted this chapter before, and then deleted it when I realized I had never posted the Holiday fic here - so if the first chapter seems familiar, it is.

Something wasn't quite right, but what could Buffy do about it?  She was no superhero.  Season 4, during the episode Superstar, sometime after Buffy and Jonathan encounter Spike but before everyone realizes Buffy's right about Jonathan.
