When Buffy refuses to kill a heartbroken Spike after he begs her to, it leads to something neither of them were expecting.

What if Spike decided to go back with Drusilla in "Crush?" No worries, it will obviously be Spuffy.

Takes place after "Crush." Buffy and Spike have a talk and some truths need to be said. How would this help a relationship to form?

Spike never came back in "The Harsh Light of Day," instead returning a year later to find that things aren't exactly how he left them.

A different ending to "Crush." Buffy somehow gets a glimpse of the future after Spike admits to being in love with her. How will this change her opinion of him?

A different take on "Crush," Buffy has a change of heart and it leads to something she never would have expected.

Short ficlet; my first fanfic ever! Spike is studying and thinking about buffy while lying beside her post sex.

Around five years after the events of 'Angels and Demons' we revisit the 'Spike's Will Be Done' universe. All is not well with our favourite vampire. Buffy has gone and he's been left to his own devices. Giles has one more ghost from the past that needs to be laid to rest, but when he tries to enlist Buffy's help, things don't go quite as he thought.

T_geyer asked for Spike and/or Wes for this year's birthday fic, so how could I refuse?

I asked my beta what sort of fic she might like for her birthday. Here's what she asked for...

" So, if you feel inspired, what appeals to me is either Spike or Wes. If you pick Spike and want him to be involved with someone, it should be Buffy; if you pick Wes, I don't have any strong feelings about it. I'm open as to whether it's BtVS or AtS, and when, but some of the things I enjoy are Spike irritating Angel (without too much Angel bashing), Spike and Joyce friendship, Wes running Angel Investigations or his own business, Wes or Giles succeeding where the Council fails, and kittens. It could be part of your current storyline, if you'd like. Mood: funny and/or action. Must have a happy ending."

I can't say I managed to cover all the bases but I had a decent try.

Set after the end of Angels and Demons

This follows on from where my fic "Spike’s Will Be Done" left off and is pretty much a sequel to that story, so things will only really make sense if you read it first. For those of you who are wondering why the spelling of colour in the title doesn't agree with standard UK usage like the rest of the story, it's because it refers to the song by Cyndi Lauper, who of course spelled it the American way in her lyrics. Thanks go out to my two betas MadRog and t_geyer, without whom, no one other than me would be reading this. Before they came on board, this was just one chapter running to two hundred plus pages. They helped to sort out a workable structure and are currently giving me the necessary prompting to expand on certain plot lines raised within the story so far.

The title says it all.

It’s almost a year and a half since Sunnydale fell into a crater. Now retired from slaying, Buffy’s been voluntold to go to Wesley Wyndham-Price’s memorial service, where she finds a few familiar enemies. Everything’s so surreal anyway, Buffy decides she might as well just give into it and see if lunch with Drusilla and Harmony might be one of the better things she does that year. It’s a pretty low bar, after all. The day keeps getting weirder, but the bar for the year might just be unsurpassable by the end of it.

The comics are ignored completely and both TV series as taken as cannon. This is a not a romantic reunion fic, although there are reunions aplenty, and parts of it could be described as romantic. Spike does not speak in this story, although others speak about him quite a bit.

All song and chapter titles are courtesy of X-Ray Spex, and all the characters and settings you've heard of before are courtesy of Mutant Enemy et al. Dylan Thomas' Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night is partially quoted. The story is entirely my own, although the original plot bunny was an EF challenge by knightowl. No copyright infringement is intended.
 
Behind Blue Eyes gave me a very early beta, for which I am grateful. I'm not sure the final product is recognisable from the one she read, so any remaining mistakes are entirely my own.

Buffy and Spike do a questionnaire that's supposed to make you fall in love.
