Welcome!

Thank you for coming to visit! After a few years down, a revised version of Nocturnal Light is coming back online. It is work in progress as all of the stories have to be re-added, but slowly and surely, all stories previously available on Nocturnal Light will once again be published here. Note that as some stories were very long, they were broken down into several posts. Use the tag for the story to find all associated posts!

Choices

Post NFA. The battle is won, and now the survivors have to figure out how to move on. Spike saves a girl, Angel reconnects with Connor and Nina, and old friends come to town. They’ll all soon learn that every choice impacts the future.



Discovery

Set at the end of Chosen. Spoilers up to Ep 5:8 of “Angel”. Buffy and Co stop in L.A. before going on to start the new Council and find the new Slayers. One new Slayer in L.A. is April Simms, who now has a special mission from Buffy. Will April find something worth bringing Buffy back to Los Angeles?



The Interview

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.



You Mean the World to Me

Buffy is not the Chosen One, just a girl with powers. Spike is the one sworn to protect her. When she unknowingly breaks his heart, he claims her and she is not happy about it. Will she accept him or reject him?



Love Takes Time

Buffy has just lost her mother, whom she has been estranged from for five years due to her mother’s marriage to a certain man by the name of Spike. Now, Buffy has returned home to bury her mother, face Spike, and the whole mess of demons returning home has unleashed. Spike, it appears, has his own demons to face, and Buffy may end up needing him more than she realizes.



Fate, Faith, Family

Buffy’s sister Faith has just died in a car accident and Buffy has now inherited Faith’s son, Nate. Spike is her best friend and vows to help. Spike shortly realizes he’s in love with Buffy, but will she go for Spike or for Nate’s nice pediatrician, Angel?
