A 3 Part Love Story...

7 years after the end of Angel, The First Evil has joined forces with Wolfram and Hart to take over our realm. The Scoobies and what's left of the AI team need any and all help they can get to defeat this new threat, especially since Buffy has been missing for the past three years. This story will be Spuffy eventually, but there is another woman in Spike's life up until then.

New Summary: Events of the future can affect the past. Following the events of "Vanishing Point," Spike is adjusting to life in Buffy's world again, but life can be difficult when it's different from all you've known, or will know. It's hard to know who to trust. Can Spike keep his family intact, or will the Slayer's mistake put the whole world in danger? *This story is part of a series which has been nominated at the SunnyD Awards*

Sequel to Second Youth. Happy season seven! Buffy and her happy family deal with those that would wish to tear them apart: government agencies, the Watcher’s Council and a rogue demon hunter.

She'd gone far far away from Sunnydale. From herself. Her name. Her calling. She didn't want any contact with the old life. Much less him. That pain-in-the-ass vampire. "Spike." She punched at the eyes floating before her; but he ducked and she pitched forward. He caught her before she fell face down in the filth. "What is this?" She wrenched herself free. "Since when do you help?" Set immediately post-season 2. Buffy's run all the way to NY, and encounters a Spike who feels he's made a bad bargain.

"Their stares penetrated Spike the way he'd penetrated them, and sucked him nearly as dry." A sequel to What She Deserves. After his reunion with Buffy in NYC, Spike returns to Sunnydale to find that things between them aren't quite what he'd supposed. Spoilers only through s6.

Set in Season 3, after Lover’s Walk, Vampire Council decides to punish those responsible for the state the Aurelius line is in and kidnap Buffy and Spike. Bloodshedverse challenge #87

Buffy and a very insane Spike are both dreaming of the same young girl. She's in trouble and calling to them. Through compassion and resolve, Buffy's determined for Spike find his way and help save the girl before it's too late...

The sequel to The Hardest Thing in the World. Now that the Scoobies know Buffy was in heaven, they're doing all they can to make things better for her... but the method they choose may be more than Spike can handle.

(Sequel to Revenge For Love) Set in an alternate season 3, the story picks up about a week after Revenge For Love ended. Faith and Wesley arrive in Sunnydale, and sparks fly all around. Identities and truths clash with lies and the past. Also thrown in are bits of chaos that Ethan Rayne would be proud to see. The PTB (Powers That Be) decide to interfere in things the rest of the Scoobies wish they wouldn't have. The Council still can't get it through their heads that Sunnydale is off limits. True loves grow, other relationships emerge, old enemies become new again, and new enemies are found. Through it all we shall learn that death is not the end of life for some, merely a new beginning.

Three months after Chosen, Buffy is still mourning the loss of Spike. When the amulet he wore is retrieved from the wreckage at Sunnydale, Buffy inadvertently wishes for William Pratt. Buffy struggles with her grief while William learns to adjust to the modern world and finds out about who he would have become in this time.

In an effort to frighten the muse into finishing this story - I'm going to start posting it. This is the fourth and last in the series that began with Loves Lost, continued with Love Awakened and Love Continued.
