Takes place before "Crush." A game of Truth or Dare goes horribly wrong when Dawn dares Buffy to visit a certain vampire, doing something she normally never would, but the Slayer can't possibly pass up on a challenge.

After the events in the Hellmouth, Buffy finds solace in her dreams.

Buffy comes to terms with Spike's death when she finds a bag he packed before the final battle.

A human Buffy wakes up in a mental hospital after her dive off Glory's tower. She recovers her sanity and begins to build a life in the real world. But is it real?

AN: To provide a little more explanation and warning than might be visible in the summary. This grew out of a "what if" discussion on someone's LJ, in which it was asked "What if Buffy's sojourn in the mental hospital during Normal again didn't end?" or "What if it was real?" and some other possible scenarios. I was intrigued and this story was born. I'll be posting a chapter a day until this site has caught up with TSR and my Live Journal.

After the Sunnydale Hellmouth fell before her eyes, Buffy had thought that her life would change. Time passed, six months to be exact, and Buffy found she was wrong. She tries, but just can't seem to let go, although one drunken phone call could be just the change Buffy is looking for.

Far, non-comic-related, future. Buffy is semi-retired, divorced, and alone. Her boss wants to introduce her to someone. Another schmoop prompt - "blind date"

The last two of the schmoop fics. These are the ones that filled the card. The first prompt was "anniversary, one partner sick" - I went in a different direction than expected. :) The second one was a free space, so I did a follow up fic.

I think this is the very last schmoop fic to post here. I'll hold off on posting anything else while everyone recovers from the recent spammage. :) This is a short (schmoopy) season six that takes place before there has been kissage to spoil the growing friendship.

Their kind of normal looks a lot like yours.

Something wasn't quite right, but what could Buffy do about it?  She was no superhero.  Season 4, during the episode Superstar, sometime after Buffy and Jonathan encounter Spike but before everyone realizes Buffy's right about Jonathan.

Buffy needs a date for New Years Eve. Spike volunteers. Nuff said?

Written for the Choose Your Author ficathon - my prompt called for a Something Blue fic in which Spike and Buffy go a little further than in canon.... smut was called for...

The attraction, the desire to dance, was always there - right from their first meeting - but have you ever wondered how often they met and never told. This is a record of all those times up to Dawn’s arrival.

After a spectacular defeat at the end of NFA, resulting in all life in this dimension ending, the Powers have decided to give the dimension one more chance. They decide our favorite blonde vampire is just the guy for the job. Numbed from recent events Spike thinks they've gone barmy, he's not a hero but the Powers insist. What's a souled vamp to do when he is sent back in time?

A sequel to "Slayer's Night Off", this fic picks up the next evening. Don't think it's necessary to have read the first one, but it coudn't hurt. Spike and Buffy find themselves working out a relationship now that feelings have been exposed, and Riley turns into even more a misguided bad guy.
