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!

The Headstone

‘She’d been a passenger in Spike’s mind way too long already; she didn’t want to stay there. Sharing one body was too… intimate and intimate was the one thing she didn’t want to be with Spike…’ Goes AU after Doublemeat Palace.



With a Rebel Yell

Altered events of Season 2. Due to circumstances beyond her control, Buffy finds herself at an 80’s Flashback night club where she finds the Billy Idol impersonator a bit, uh, familiar.



Fire and Ice

Spike is the lead singer of a famous band that’s on a national tour. Buffy is the girlfriend he left at home. When she discovers he’s done something to destroy their relationship, Spike has to try and win back her trust, while Buffy doesn’t know if she can risk getting close to him again.



Criminal Games

William ‘Spike’ Reed is the most successful art thief on record- and he’s never been caught. As one of the most powerful men in the country, he has managed to elude arrest for years while still maintaining a prominent status. When FBI Agent Buffy Summers is assigned to go undercover to capture him, she’s entered a game that she’s not sure she can win.



Secrets & Lies

A world away from the Hellmouth, Buffy is moving on with her life. When a case brings her to LA she discovers something that had previously existed only in her dreams. Will she get the chance to voice her unheard thoughts before it’s too late? Set in Season 5 of the Angel timeline, during the episode ‘Damage’.



Parting Gifts

When Buffy Summers jumped off the tower to save her sisters life, she thought that was it. Her life as the Slayer was now over, and she could finally rest. When dark magics pull her from the safety and warmth and thrust her back into the land of the living, she finds herself in a completely different world than the one she left behind. In a life foreign to the one she lived, Buffy has to use all of her strength to not only survive this place, but also help to change it for the better. A story about a different world, post ‘The Gift’.
