Buffy thought she'd seen the last of Spike. Clearly, she’d been too optimistic. That he was in her house, in her room, waking her out of a sound sleep and asking for (okay, demanding) her help meant that something had to be majorly wrong. They weren't due for another apocalypse, but...why else would a vampire make a truce with the Slayer? Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:25:56 +0200 cloud_forest http://www.bloodshedverse.com/stories.php?go=read&no=13258 Buffy Summers was hoping that when she moved to Sunnydale, she could forget about all of the 'Slayer' stuff that was thrust upon her in L.A. These hopes are quickly smothered though when she finds out that the librarian at Sunnydale High is also her new Watcher. Even worse, the small, quiet town she's just moved to is floating on a Hellmouth. Apparently, destiny has a slightly tighter grip on her than she thought. This story is a series rewrite, starting from Welcome to the Hellmouth. It is built on the simple question of, how would things have gone if Buffy had met a different ensouled vampire on her way to the Bronze that night?   Fri, 13 Apr 2012 00:15:10 +0200 xoChantelly http://www.bloodshedverse.com/stories.php?go=read&no=13257 Set in Season 7, episode Sleeper then goes directly AU.
