1. Prologue by ddysrs - Likes: 3 Comments: 4 Word Count: 755 Hit Count: 2,226 Published: July 13, 2013

A/N: This is just a prologue that I wrote at the prompting of a friend. I was going to wait and post it once the whole story was finished, then I decided what the heck. I hope this doesn't confuse anyone who may get a notice when this is updated. :)

2. A Rose for My Beloved by ddysrs - Likes: 3 Comments: 3 Word Count: 3,423 Hit Count: 2,016 Published: May 07, 2013

So, I'm finally getting the courage up to post something. This is actually a work of original fiction that I wrote in high school and have rewritten several times over the years. I decided to rewrite it as Spuffy as a writing exercise. It's all human, so most definitely A/U. Forgive any mistakes. I am the only one who has actually read the Spuffy version of this and while I love (and typically do well at) editing other peoples work, I am horrible with my own. Oh and just in case this is necessary (need I repeat this is a first for me?) Joss owns them, I borrow them...well except for the crazy ones which I guess I will claim as my own original characters.

6. What the Bloody Hell am I Doing? by ddysrs - Likes: 2 Comments: 4 Word Count: 2,454 Hit Count: 1,298 Published: May 18, 2013

Just a short chapter to let you see a bit into how Spike is dealing. Hopefully I will have the next on up later today or tomorrow. It's all done I just want to run through one last edit. Hopefully you are all enjoying it so far.

A big Thank You! to those who have left me a review. I really appreciate the feedback. Glad you are liking it so far.

Here's the next chapter. I know it's pretty long but I just couldn't find a place that I felt comfortable splitting it. Hope you enjoy!

12. Leaving on a Jet Plane by ddysrs - Likes: 3 Comments: 2 Word Count: 3,984 Hit Count: 1,269 Published: June 01, 2013

And we're off to see the Wizard...oh wait, that's a different story. Well, we're at least off to Vegas. One of the reasons I wanted to rewrite this fic was so that I could work on bringing in some other secondary characters to add to the plot. That's what the second half of this chapter is about, letting you see a bit of what is going on back in good ol' Sunnydale while Buffy & Spike are away. Hopefully it works and the break between what is happening in Vegas and what's going on in Sunnydale isn't too abrupt for you. I originally was going to do this as two chapters, but left alone they seemed kind of short so I put them together. I promise the next two chapters will finally get us to some good stuff between are two favorite people. Until then, enjoy and let me know what you think.

13. Wedding Days by ddysrs - Likes: 3 Comments: 2 Word Count: 5,031 Hit Count: 1,283 Published: June 08, 2013

Finally posting the next chapter. I've had this one done since last weekend, but I keep editing it. I'm not 100% happy with it, but it is what it is. I'm starting to think I may need a beta to help me with working out a few things. That said- if anyone's interested let me know. :) Moving on- I hope everyone enjoys this chapter. Picnics & Promises & Soon, My Love, Soon have probably been my favorites to write so far, but this one comes pretty close. Let me know what you all think. Have a wonderful weekend!

14. Wedding Nights by ddysrs - Likes: 3 Comments: 2 Word Count: 2,759 Hit Count: 1,286 Published: June 25, 2013

Sorry this took so long to get posted. My original fic didn't have some of the detail that this scene has towards the end and I think I ended up rewriting it nearly half a dozen times (some more detailed than others). I debated over and over how much detail to include for the current rating and decided to play it pretty safe.  I hope nobody is too disappointed. I will probably revisit this chapter later on down the road to add more detail, particularly if I get a lot of response from people wanting more. For now, enjoy!

15. The Morning After by ddysrs - Likes: 2 Comments: 1 Word Count: 4,172 Hit Count: 1,222 Published: July 13, 2013

A/N: Sorry it has been longer between updates. I started a new part-time position and the first few weeks were definitely not part time. Hopefully now my hours have evened out and I will have more time to spend writing and I can get back to getting updates out sooner. Hope you all enjoy this chapter.

I'm also adding the prologue to the story, so hopefully that doesn't confuse anybody...I was going to wait, but I figured why not?

16. All I've Ever Dreamed of and More by ddysrs - Likes: 2 Comments: 2 Word Count: 4,624 Hit Count: 1,103 Published: August 09, 2013

A/N: Just a little, slightly fluffy (and quite possibly a little...hmmm.... cheesy?... near the end) and fun chapter for our couple, with a bit of plot thrown in for good measure. :) Hope you enjoy. Sorry that I haven't been updating as often as I was. Hopefully soon I will get back to regular updates.  Next chapter we are back to Sunnydale, so things should start moving along soon.

18. It's My Party by ddysrs - Likes: 3 Comments: 3 Word Count: 3,553 Hit Count: 1,140 Published: October 04, 2013

A/N: I am so sorry it has been so long since I've updated! Work and grad school have been monopolizing my time and I haven't found much time to work on this. (Though as a random side note- I am concentrating on fan fiction in one of my classes, just not on my own. LOL I recently completed an essay on introducing fan fiction into the classroom) Hopefully I am now back into a groove and will be able to get updates out a little more frequently. :) I already have a short interlude to be posted after this chapter, so be looking for that in the next few days. Hope you enjoy and be prepared. Things are going to pick up soon. ;)

19. Interlude: Broken Heart by ddysrs - Likes: 4 Comments: 5 Word Count: 973 Hit Count: 991 Published: October 09, 2013

Just a short interlude. I thought perhaps we needed something more from the stalker... This wasn't in the story originally but as I am doing the rewrite I am trying to bring out the stalker storyline more.  Hope you all enjoy!

20. Dinner Confessions by ddysrs - Likes: 5 Comments: 5 Word Count: 4,533 Hit Count: 958 Published: December 29, 2013

 I'm sorry it has taken me so long to update. The last two months have been a little overwhelming and finding time to write has been hard. Things have started to slow down a bit so hopefully it won't be so long between updates anymore. The next chapter is already written it just needs a quick edit and my hope is to have it up this next week. Hope you enjoy this one! It's a bit slow, but I needed to try to develop a few things before diving into the next couple of chapters. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and have a great New Year!

22. ...And I'll Cry if I Want to by ddysrs - Likes: 6 Comments: 5 Word Count: 3,182 Hit Count: 806 Published: April 23, 2014

A/N: I'm betting some of you thought I had given up or forgotten about this story. Rest assured that I haven't. :)  It has been a crazy semester for me and finding time for my own writing has been difficult. But I'm starting to get back into it, and hopefully will get more regular with updates now that the semester is winding down and I have a summer free of classes.  Hope you enjoy the chapter, and thanks for hanging in there with me.
