When all that's left is grief. Picking up the pieces after Buffy's death.

Buffy is trying to start over in LA - until someone shows up that she never expected to see again. Winner of multiple awards, which can be viewed here.

It is Christmas and Spike is trying to be helpful.

A sequel to "A Mother's Plea", by first and only (until this) vamped Buffy fic. Buffy is adjusting to her new status and preparing to prevent the Mayor's ascension at the same time.

Response to Challenge #195 at BSV... Early Season Four, immediately after Spike is chipped, Giles finds an ancient ritual that could solve their problem of what to do with the not-so-harmless vampire...but Buffy ends up getting a bit more than she bargained for in the process.

Merry Christmas 2005 to AlwayJBJ. She wanted a "missing moment" from the SWBD 'verse with Spike & Wes. This would fit in the timeline after 'The Moonlight Gamblers'.

The requested sequel to ZoeGrace's wonderful little "Boy Smell Nice" - begins with the last line from her fic. Not beta'd, so let me know what I screwed up. ETA - Always_jbj has now read it and my screw-ups have been fixed. lol

More ETA: It has been brought to my attention that it's been a long time since Zoe's story was available on the BSV (or anywhere else) and that a quick summary of it might be helpful to readers. So, here's all you need to know about that:
Spike has stumbled across Buffy while she is under the influence of the magic beer that created Cave Buffy.  He becomes distracted from killing her when Cave Buffy decides that he smells good.   During the course of the following activities, he bites her and tries to claim her.  But all in all, it’s a fun evening for them.  We begin with the very last line of Zoe’s story…  

Response to Shan's challenge 285, wherein Joyce survives but other major S5 events occur. Buffy is ripped from heaven, etc, but will Joyce's presence ease the Slayer's burden? Divergence from canon will be light at first. Some dialog in early chapters will be familiar. Characters not mine, etc. Eventual NC-17 (if my courage holds out), Eventual Character Death(s).

Spike returns from Africa, ensouled but sane, to find the Scoobies devastated by the events of the spring. Nobody's rolling out the welcome mat--but someone *does* have a little surprise for him....

Why you should never run with pointy sticks!

Timeline: AU Season 4/5 - no Riley.

A depressed and distraught Buffy gets herself into more trouble than she can handle, which works out just fine for Angelus. The challenge is whether Angelus can successfully manipulate people and events in order to get what he wants. But just what is Angelus striving for, and where do Buffy, Spike and Drusilla fit in? Picks up mid-season two sometime after “I Only Have Eyes for You.” Answer to a Bloodverse challenge, which wanted Buffy/Spike/Angelus. After a long torturous route, will eventually turn Spuffy. Thanks to OracleHolly for the Beta. **WINNER OF JUDGE'S CHOICE AWARD ROUND THREE AT FANG FETISH AWARDS* * Nominated Round Four* (Thanks)

Buffy thinks about Spike, blood and pain. Dark Prompt 04 of Dark Fic table

RESPONSE TO CHALLENGE #157 AU: Breaks from canon after Season Four...Five years after the Initiative disaster, the world is a very different place, where society in general knows about demons and vampires, and have found ways to dominate them. Buffy is trapped in an unhappy marriage to a man who doesn't seem to want her, trapped in a world that doesn't seem to need her anymore...can an old ally and enemy, sold into her home as a slave, teach her the meaning of freedom? Buffy/Other, temporary *NOMINATED AT THE FANG FETISH AWARDS AND THE FOOL FOR LOVE AWARDS!!!*

A short continuation of the episode starting in the church. Ijust wanted a little bit of completion that was not really given in the show.
