Spike and Buffy are being inventive: Buffy’s the head cheerleader, and William her seductive English tutor; Queen Fi pleasured by her enslaved eunuch; Will and Buff in an illicit tryst in a posh boarding school; the follower of Lucifer properly tormented for turning to the side of the devil. A lot of things can happen in five hours.
Starts fluffy, eventually gets kinda heavy, pretty much running the gamut of a lot of sexuality.

Spike. Ensouled. Stuck in a basement. Alone. Scared. Mad. Tortured by guilt. “I don't have anywhere else to go.” Buffy already knows, that can't be true.

“Are you all right?” Spike asked.
“Perfectly normal,” Buffy said. “Spell’s all gone.”
“That wasn’t what I meant,” he said. “I meant... after what it made you.... After.”
Buffy and Spike talk just after the events of the episode Him.

“Well," Spike told Buffy. "You didn’t seem real happy about finding Faith down here." Missing scene from Dirty Girls.

Do you remember Agnes Pringle?   Well, before the First started its campaign of terror, she was advised by Richard Wilkins III - her ex-lover - to leave Sunnydale and go back to England. So as she was now seemingly in charge of several vampire children and Spike had vanished from town, she did just that.  But, of course, getting away from Buffy and the Scoobies is never that easy....

The sequel (part 2) to I Would Still Have Loved You. We're now into season five and Buffy and Spike are awaiting Dawn and Glory's arrivals. Time to get serious about doing something about Glory....

This is now part of an ongoing series.

The third entry in the I Would Still Have Loved You series. Our time-traveling heroes are now in season six and working out how to deal with the events of that time.


For those who need a play list: OCs are Winston (sent back from the future after Buffy) who is a powerful magician, Max, their mysterious landlord who was Winston's teacher at one time and is a powerful sorcerer in his own right. Joyce is still around, thanks to Winston's abilities to destroy her tumor. Willow is still too full of herself and unpredictable. And Buffy and Spike are mated, the mutual claim having knocked off one Angel had put on an unconscious Buffy in season 3, but never told her about. She was a tad displeased and and they are not on good terms....

Summary: Follows rewrites of seasons 4, 5, and 6 in which Buffy had been sent back in time post Chosen with the idea that she could do away with Glory (or Ben) before it got to the jumping off the tower point. The idea being that if she didn't die, and wasn't subsequently resurrected, the balance wouldn't be off and the First Evil would not become as powerful a threat as he had in her own time. Spike, meanwhile, once he'd become corporeal, was also sent back with the idea of preventing the same things. Neither knew about or was expecting the other, but once they were angrily facing each other in Season 4, they realized who they were and that they were there for the same reason.
Previous parts: I Would Still Have Loved You (season 4), All About the Mission (season 5), Almost Home (season 6), and now this one which will bring them back to where they came from. Time-wise, that is. What that world is going to be like now remains to be seen.
