I'm not good at writing summaries. I never know how much to give away... If you read the first chapter you'll get a good idea of what it's about and how the story will develop. Give it a try. It might not be horrible.

Summary: This takes place Post-BTVS at the L.A. location of Wolfram and Hart, where the Scoobies have gone to meet with Angel about what REALLY happened in the battle. Fred then learns how to use the amulet to bring people back from the dead, although it's only for short periods of time. (Note: there are some non-Spuffy related ships, such as Bangel and Sprusilla, but they are temporary and mainly used to resolves conflict between them so that Spike and Buffy can be together. If you are very against either of these two ships, please read with caution.) While Fred and the rest of Wolfram and Hart, plus the Scooby Gang, are extremely excited about this new discovery, it has deadly consequences that come along with it. (Another note: there is a tiny bit of language in this story, but nothing too extreme. If that is a trigger for you, then read with caution.)

Summary:  
Inspired by a challenge from knightowl:
 
When Buffy dies at the hands of the Master her Slayer side goes into shock and hides. This makes everyone, even the Council think that she has lost her powers. Her friends and Giles draw away from her so that she can have a 'normal' life and to protect her from everything. Letting Buffy see that all they really liked about her was her Slayer side. Kendra is sent to Sunnydale to replace Buffy and Angel starts to stalk her instead of Buffy, allowing her to see how creepy that is. Buffy becomes depressed and realises that she liked being the Slayer but that everything she thought she knew about her life and her friends was wrong.
 
Enter Spike, who hates Dru a little because the whole Prague thing only happened because Dru finally decided to break up with him just to then let herself be hurt knowing Spike would have to stay and look after her.
 
Spike and Buffy meet, both a little depressed and angry at how their lives are at the moment.
 

---

 
Or a lot depressed, if you ask me.
 
I like to think of this story as fun, sweet, and effed up all rolled into one angsty teen/vampire romance. So, basically, it's a retelling of S2 with Spike as the male lead. Fun times. 
 
Extra warnings include talks about self-harm (no graphic depictions) and harm to a child (because of course Dawn is always a magnet for trouble). Oh, and the Drug Use warning is only for marijuana.
