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!

Stronger

Spike leaves a devastated Buffy for the limelight, hurting her in the worst way possible. They meet again in 10 years and he’s set on winning her back. Can she forgive and learn to love him again? Will she ever learn to trust the one man who stole her heart then shattered it? …. A story about love’s endurance and the lengths people go for the people they love.



The Bet

A shallow, conceited Spike makes a bet with his buddy, Angel, concerning the new girl at Sunnydale High and how quick he’ll be able to get in her pants. Little does he know that this bet – and this girl – will be the one that draws him to reality. (a high school fic and fluffy for the most part)



Avocation

The gypsies curse the wrong vampire, and by the time they rectify their mistake, Spike has been fundamentally altered. Nearly a century later, the Slayer needs help, and there’s only one person qualified for the job. Of course, he’s not real interested in taking it.



Collide

What if that house-demolishing in Smashed was a metaphor with a different meaning than the writers gave it? What if that night marked a release of a different sort? Goes seriously AU immediately after Smashed , and makes reference to my short story, “The Promise I’m Keeping,” written for summer_of_spike.



Brace Yourself

In the sequel to Collide, there are unexpected consequences to the ritual Buffy did to break the curse on Spike, Dawn is trying to figure out what it means to be the Key, and Willow is coming home. And that’s just the beginning.
