Season three – a sequel of sorts to my last Seasonal Spuffy, “P.S. You Suck, Spike” that was an AU between season 2 and 3 in which Spike finds Buffy in LA and determines to bring her out of the depression she’s been in since leaving Sunnydale.  She’s now been home for several months, the PTB have brought Angel back, and it is nearing Christmas. We have a twist on what is already an AU canon that won’t deal with anything else in Season III except Buffy’s Cruciamentum.

Post-Season 5, an alternate reality take on Season 6, but not so crazy-alternate that anyone's unrecognisable. Just lots of small tweaks that pack a punch - like the odd bit of honest communication amongst the Scoobies. Starts with Spike/Dawn friendship and builds from there.

Runner Up for Best Angst in round 30 of the SunnyD Awards

A/N September 2018: this story is now being re-posted with minor edits on Elysian Fields and AO3, as a prelude to new chapters. New chapters will be re-posted here, but the formatting is too much work to re-post the previous 50.

Agnes Pringle, Spike's vampire friend, had experienced many Christmases in America. This is the story of her first.

Anya overhears an idle wish at the Bronze, and suddenly there’s no more Spike. What would Buffy have been like without Spike to catch her after she came back from death? How far down would she fall?
WARNING: VERY DARK FIC!
Nominated at No Rest For The Wicked Awards

“Angel...” Buffy says Angel's name while she and Spike are in bed. Why? And what is he going to do about it?

“How’d you know I liked wine spritzers?” Buffy asked.
    “What do you mean? You told me.”
    “Since when do we discuss wines?”
    He rolled closer and gazed at her, amused. “We planned a whole wedding together, love. Remember?" Memories of a spell bring on a conversation, which could make their time together better, or worse. Season six.

For anyone who has ever wondered where Spike got that camper they ran from Glory with in Spiral, or for that matter, the shotgun he had in Fool for Love. Set after Family.

"You're in love with pain." Set season two, after What's My Line.

Buffy slips into depression after Spike's sacrifice, the fact he was back and never told her just pushes her even more over the edge. When Spike realizes the mistake he made by staying away, he's willing to do whatever he can to save her.

First prize for Best Plot in Spark and Burn Awards, Rd 2. At the end of Season 7, Buffy had a clear picture in her mind of what her grandchildren would be like. But what if she was dreadfully wrong? And what can she and Spike to do help them now that the vampire has a share of the Shanshu prophecy? Because Billy and Joyce are not your normal 9 year olds!

Set in comics between Dec. 2014 Buffy and Jan. 2015 - Comic knowledge not necessarily necessary to figure out what's going on. Buffy goes speed dating with predicitable results. No doubt I'll be Jossed by next week, but in the meantime, this could have happened....

ETA - okay, so we now know that there is a kiss! Doubt it will lead where mine did, but you never know....

Takes place after "Something Blue," Buffy gives Spike a reason to stick around.

Post NFA. Spike returns to LA after being gone for almost seven years. He doesn’t know why he came back, until he meets a little girl that will change his life forever.

Goes off-canon during Bargaining. When Willow's spell pulls Buffy out of heaven, it leaves her insane, terrified, and unable to communicate. The Scoobies are convinced she came back wrong. Spike is convinced that he can reach her. And Buffy's misconceptions about this hell she has awakened to lead to a host of problems and heartache. Who will be the one who can guide this fallen angel back to life?
