"You’re a hypocritical piece of work, watcher," Spike told Giles. "You’ve lied to her, abandoned her, poisoned her, endangered her, and worked behind her back to undermine her, and you think I’m the one who’s bad for her.” Spike confronts Giles after Lies My Parents Told Me.

  “So, you wanna tell me what really happened down there?”
    “Nothing,” Spike said, annoyed, “it was just stuff. Memories. Nothing important.”
    “Nothing important doesn’t usually make your hands shake,” Buffy said softly.
    Buffy tries to help Spike find the source of the First’s trigger, after she releases him in Lies My Parents Told Me. It is not a short or pleasant journey.

Spike had been pretty down lately. Sometimes Buffy wished she could just shake him. Where the hell was Spike under all this? She knew he had a soul, now, but – god. Did a soul do nothing but make vampires melancholy brood machines? Set after The Killer In Me, before Get It Done.

“Even if he was okay with it, even if he was a bad person, even if... if he... did the same thing to someone else. That wouldn’t make what I did right.” Buffy talks to Dawn in the car ride home from the train yard, in Him.

After years of struggling for a life of her own, the immortal Slayer is finally free from the demands of her friends and the Council. Will she be willing to go back in time and do it all over again, just for the chance to be with the vampire that was always meant to be her other half? An enemy from the future will give her the chance, if she wants it.

This story is complete, I'll post at least one chapter a week.

Missing scenes after Buffy rescues Spike from the First Evil.  Because I love hurt/comfort, because I decided there just aren't enough post-"Showtime" fics in the world, and as a thank-you to those who read  Distress Signals .

This story is a gift to TJBW, Puddinhead, Science, wolffan200, Dreamweaver, and everyone else I forgot to thank properly for helping me with Distress Signals. It is also a thank-you to everyone who read and reviewed that last one, and something for you to enjoy while I muster the energy to possibly write something longer, again. Cheers.

Spike finds out the real reason of why Buffy ended things with him.

Loving Buffy is never a stable environment as Spike has learned since her return from heaven. All he’s done is to try to help and all it’s achieved is to make things worse. So what might actually help this broken Slayer? 

Setting: S6 all canon through “Dead Things” then it goes AU to varying degrees after Chapter 1.

With a tub of ice-cream in her lap, Buffy wallows in misery over Angel disappearing out of her life in a puff of overly dramatic smoke. Her life gets turned upside down when her hated enemy staggers drunk off his face to her front porch. Not only is he demanding her help, he is invading her personal space. She’s had enough!

Post-S3. Angel and Drusilla are a no show. Meanwhile Buffy and Spike embark on an adventure full of childish bickering, UST and reluctant camaraderie that will change what they thought were unshakable perceptions.

When Buffy steps out of the Bronze one night for some air, she's hurtled into a new world that will change her irrevocably...as will the blond vampire lurking in the shadows...

Post NFA, Buffy comes to terms with her feelings about Spike and Angel. A tongue-in-cheek parody, mostly of how skewed Buffy's thinking is.

A brief glimpse into an alternate S6, where Buffy really was in a hell dimension. Goes AU at Bargaining Part II. One-shot.

This is a follow-up to "Pinch Hitter", the other side of the coin, the original young Buffy of the end of Season 4 faced with the fallout and a suddenly returned Spike. Nominated for Best Romance and Best Angst at the Sunnydale Memorial Fanfiction Awards!
