Summary: Buffy and Spike are reunited post NFA. They haven't seen each other since the Hellmouth. Buffy has only just learnt of Spike's existence again. Can they move on and start again with their pasts still lurking around the corner? (Season 8 comic spoilers. Ignoring Spuffy reunion in the comics. Also BTVS-Chosen and Angel-Not Fade Away spoilers)

Chapter 4 is a mini chapter that strays away from the main story a bit since I felt I needed to explore a situation that I started in the first chapter. Don't worry Spuffy will be reunited soon!

Depending on which way you look at this chapter, there might be a character death. This note may not make sense now but it will as you read on through this chapter. So.. WARNING character death.

A/N: I can't help but go into detail and throw a little more Spuffy in when I should be focusing on Dawn and Illyria so I'm going to try and balance the levels of both out for a while. Knowing me, I'll probably just totally ignore what I just said :')

Enjoy!

A/N: The next few updates will be longer because all the previous ones I'd written over several months but now this chapter is the most recent on here and fanfiction.net so you're officially up to date!
Also, sorry if this chapter is a bit heavy. I hope Buffy doesn't seem too out of character at the moment. It'll all be made clear at the end of the chapter if you haven't figured it out already.

A/N: I know this chapter is a lot shorter than my others but I really thought that leaving the end of the chapter at this point was the best thing to do. Don't worry, there'll be an update soon!

AN: So we're jumping ahead slightly to 6 weeks in the future now. I felt that nothing new would've happened if I'd carried on telling the story from the last chapter. I didn't want to go over the same things and not move on with the story?
Also, updates may be slower because I can't spend long periods of time writing. Blame the more frequent and increasingly painful migraines! But I promise, I'm NOT stopping writing for you anytime soon!

27. All I Ask Sequel... by the_bronze - Likes: 5 Comments: 3 Word Count: 583 Hit Count: 1,341 Published: July 03, 2014
AN: I'd like to start off thanking every single one of my readers. This is my first 'big' fic I've ever written and never in a million years did I expect to get this reaction so thank you all so much! Especially to ginar369 who has consistently reviewed and been a very loyal 'adviser' as it were. Have I really written 26 chapters? Hell, it doesn't feel like it. I only feel like I've been writing for a matter of weeks!
Of course I will be coming back to finish All I Ask in a sequel. I wouldn't dream of not finishing it but for now, I'm going to take a short break from it and focus on writing a new fan fiction. Still Spuffy of course but set at a different time in the series and Spuffy have a very different relationship to begin with. Keep checking Most Recent for the first chapter that I hope to have up in the next week or so. I don't want to give too much away now but I have a feeling that you'll enjoy reading it just as much as I enjoy writing it!
Of course I'd like to here your overall round up of the first part of the series so please please please leave a review about everything. What you liked, what surprised you, what you didn't like so much, what I could improve. I'd really appreciate the feedback as I've mentioned in the past.
On I can't leave you hanging for ages so here's a little snippet of the sequel. Don't expect a full length chapter..
