Stories All About Spuffy
This is a sequel to The Great Advantage of Being Alive. If you haven’t read it, this one really won’t make any sense. In any case, Spike’s trying to find out what it means to be a man, and to fight at Buffy’s side. Buffy’s struggling with what it means to be the Slayer. Dawn wants to know if she’s real, and Glory just really wants her Key back.
Buffy gets a phone call in the middle of the night from the last person she’d expect to hear from. Instead of being angry, however, she finds that the telephone lends her the courage to say the things she’s too afraid to admit, and more…to explore a side of her fantasies she didn’t know existed until she opened up to her enemy.
Mid-season 5. Buffy needs a job, Spike’s interviewing. They spend a few hours together and discover how much they mean to each other. Vamp Spike, Slayer Buffy, but I’ve tweaked the universe just a little.
Season 5, during I Was Made to Love You. There is a Valkyrie missing in Sunnydale, can Buffy stop arguing with Spike long enough to find her and avert yet another apocalypse?
Battling a demon on a routine patrol one night, Buffy is seriously injured. When Giles realizes the full extent of the damage, he knows there is only one person who can help her get back to the Slayer she used to be.
Spike does something different – faster and more clever – and everything changes. (Goes AU during “The Gift”)
