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!

A Stone’s Throw From Yesterday

The Hellmouth has been destroyed for three years, and the Scoobies have scattered, continuing their fight against the evils of the world. In the Egyptian desert, a man hears a tortured plea for help. It’s just a shame he doesn’t recognize his own voice.



A Symphony of Echoes

Sequel to Legions of True Hearts. A confused Buffy is trying to get on with her life, but Spike’s promise to stand by her haunts the Slayer. Her past collides with her future, forcing her to decide which—and who—she can trust.



This Wanton World

Los Angeles, 2003. For the first time since she was Chosen, Buffy’s back in town. She never planned to return, but someone else had a different idea. This time, though, she comes with purpose, and power, and an assassin hot on her heels. She just hopes that this time…she doesn’t die.



Promise of Frost

When a snowstorm strands Buffy and Spike, they are forced to turn to each other for strength, especially when a missing Giles, mysterious visitors, and way too much magic threatens to turn it into a not so very merry Christmas.



By Rook or By Crook

Sometimes, no matter how fast you run, your past always manages to catch up to you. It’s 1940, and the streets of Manhattan are the last place on earth ex-hitman William Rook ever expected to find himself again. But one last job has demanded he return, a job that pushes him directly into the path of a certain blonde chanteuse named Buffy Summers, and nothing will ever be the same again…for either of them…



When We Fight

Starting in the summer between seasons 4 and 5, Riley’s away and some interesting sparks are flying between Buffy and Spike. But when Riley returns, Buffy’s problems are only beginning.



When the Price is Right

When it’s time for the annual Auction Day in Sunnydale, the last thing Buffy Summers wants is to be auctioned off as a ‘slave’. When her best friend convinces her that it is for a good, charitable cause, Buffy finally agrees. What happens when the one person she hates, decides that being her ‘master’ for a week doesn’t sound that bad?
