Summary: When you're trying to be better after decades of evil, a little encouragement can make all the difference.  When Spike gets a nudge out of the crypt and toward Africa a few months early, it changes everything for the Scoobies, for Sunnydale, and for the world.  Twice.

Summary: Jenny Calendar est d'origine bohème, elle vient du peuple des Kalderash. Jenny a vécu une enfance heureuse et paisible, malgré le soif de vengeance et les traditions et origines gitanes qu'on a essayé de lui inculquer. Depuis sa naissance, Jenny était destinée aux plus hautes gloires ; ses parents l'appelaient l'enfant du miracle. Jenny grandit, avec une grande gentillesse, loyale, et d'une certaine maniérée d'une grande timidité, mais en même temps un certain goût pour la rébellion et l'indépendance ; c'est ce qui se passe à son adolescence.
 
A l'âge Adulte, Jenny voulait vivre sa propre vie et changer les choses dans son monde. Elle devient ainsi professeur d'informatique, dans ces circonstances, elle devient amie avec l'une de ses plus brillante élève, Willow Rosenberg. Parallèlement, Jenny Calendar est farouchement en désaccord sur son lieu de travail avec Rupert Giles, collègue et ennemi déclaré, ils deviennent de façon inattendue partenaires de travail et plus tard, amis. Mais Jenny va tomber amoureuse de lui…

Summary:

Part 2 of the Something Wicked series  (S5, beginning with "Buffy vs Dracula")

Spuffy have been together for a while now.  Things have been great.  The Scoobies have more or less accepted the reality of their couplehood, Spike finally has his own place, so there’s plenty of thoroughly excellent shag-time, and college is kind of fun when you have a worldly, undead tutor to poke fun at your instructors and help you remember your lessons with fascinating anecdotes or, when that fails, incredibly memorable sexy-times.  Life is actually, like, bordering on good

But then Mr. Eurovamp 2000 blows into town and causes a bunch of jealousy.  And then Buffy starts having a bunch of crappy Slayer dreams about glowy purply stuff.  And Dawn is going off the hook even more than usual, and Mom is acting weird…  And, as if there’s not enough to deal with, Buffy’s pretty sure that idiot Riley Finn is still lurking around town trying to come up with a reason to shoot her boyfriend…

Buffy should have known things couldn’t stay yummy for long.  She probably would have started to worry if it had.

(Note:  you can read this without reading the first story, Cry Havoc, and Let Slip Your Heart... but I wouldn't advise it.)

Summary: As the Slayer, Buffy Summers has helped a lot of people in her twenty years.  But there's one person she's never gotten to help:  Buffy Summers.  When she leapt into the portal that Glory forced open, any chance to help any Buffy anywhere went with her.  Or did it?
Now the lead ambassador to the Powers that Be is playing "Let's Make a Deal" with her afterlife and the leaps have only just begun.  Where will she leap to next - and will it be to heaven?  Or will the next leap be her leap back home?  (With apologies to one of my favorite shows next to Buffy and Angel, "Quantum Leap.")

Summary: Part 4 of a the Souls In Bondage series:
The Scourge are done for.  The baby Slayers are back on track, nicely settled under Xander and Willow’s careful tutelage.  Dawn is right-sized.  Things with Giles are… steady-ish.  And Buffy and Spike have found a nice safe haven away from it all where they can just be.  Dial in case of Apocalypse.  Sort out the gray areas on their own time and terms.  Maybe redefine the whole relationship between demons and humanity, and vamps and humans… and of course Slayers and vamps.  You know; given enough time and… social intercourse.

Anyway, that was the theory.  Then the whole thing started with the military, and Amy.  And then Willow and Xander decide to show up on their doorstep.  And there was that thing with Faith and Giles, and…  Jeez.  Hellmouths weren’t the only things that keep rumbling.   

Well, at least they’d closed the book on Angel, right?

(Note:  This is a sequel to “Home Is Where the Scourge Is”, and is Part 4 of a series.  If you haven’t read the rest, you’ll have no idea what the bloody hell is going on.  I mean, you can; I can’t stop you.  But a lot of what’s happening in here will be taking place in a world unrecognizable to the uninitiated.)

Summary: Set in season 6-7 and after (ignoring comics), this story begins soon after Older and Far Away. Warren, and this troupe of misfit baddies, The Trio, has Buffy over a barrel. They’ve got video evidence of her trysts with Spike – and plenty of it. If she doesn’t do what they want, they’ll broadcast the explicit video all over the internet – everyone will know her dirty little secret. Buffy’s never felt so lost and alone and utterly ashamed. After being dragged out of heaven, her soul aches, and Spike’s the only one who can ease her pain, but her friends would never understand. While trying to help the Slayer out of this jam, Spike inadvertently reveals a secret of his own, one that he’s worked hard to keep hidden even from himself, one that will change the way Buffy sees him and change their dance forever. 
How will everyone's lives change as they face life on the Hellmouth when Buffy begins to see that Spike is not like Angel, and accepts him into her life and her heart as an equal rather than a dirty little secret?
The answer is: dramatically!

Summary:
A continuation of the AU Unexpected. While Spike and Bess are on a mission with Angel, Buffy and Annie find themselves embroiled in a life and death struggle in a Sunnydale that is far from home.  Most of their friends are dead; those that remain have changed so much as to be nearly unrecognizable. Can they be trusted to help Buffy and Annie get back home or will they use the opportunity to escape the hell they've been living in and leave the Slayer and her daughter to languish in a dimension ruled by demons? As Buffy tries to keep her daughter safe, she must put her trust in someone - that someone is Spike, but he's changed too.

Summary: It has been months since Willow almost ended the world, and a tense summer has turned into an ominous fall in Sunnydale. Spike is back from wherever and acting weirder than usual, a new threat is rising that—for once—doesn't seem to stem from the hellmouth, and Buffy has no idea who to trust or what to believe. She also doesn’t have the luxury of time to figure it out.  

Some things never change.

Spike's noticed that there's something a little off with the Slayer...but maybe something's a little off with him, too.

Summary: Part 2 of a the Souls In Bondage series:
Team Angel has gone through the looking glass.  But this time, they happened to do it a little differently.  See, the one thing the Senior Partners didn’t count on was Buffy. 
Normally, the Powers That Be can’t affect things in a hell dimension ruled by entities who suck at losing so bad they cheat their own lawyers.  But when you not only have a bunch of Champions… but also a bonafide PTB conduit stuck in your hellscape like a fly in the ointment, it causes serious problems for hellgod types… and really makes things interesting for a bunch of lost souls and demons trying to make a difference in Hell-A.
Also, you know…  Who knew Hell could be such a nice vacation spot for a vampire and Slayer who just wanted a damn moment alone?

Note:  This is a sequel to “The Ethnocentrism of Vampthropology”, and is Part 2 of a series If you haven’t read Part 1 you might be able to keep up, but you’ll have missed some important stuff.  Read on at your own risk.

Summary: A continuation of the AU Series "Unexpected". If you haven't read the first part, this won't make much sense. Check under 'Series' to see the whole AU story.  As Buffy settles back into life after the 'Wish World' and gets ready for a new addition to their family, an old friend pulls the financial rug out from under their fairly comfortable life. They also find that something from Spike's old life isn't as they thought. Will they end up sacrificing the littlest bit or even their own lives in an effort to make an old wrong right?

Summary: The only thing certain in life is change. Will Pratt is trying to play nice with Dru, post-divorce, for the sake of the kids...as well as in the hopes of reconciling. Buffy Summers just wants to get her sister married without losing her sanity. Two weddings, one bar, a series of chance meetings and our favorite couple find themselves in a romantic tug of war, pushing and pulling each other towards their "new normal". 
This all human fic is the second one I've written for a challenge by Angelic Amy for the 2017 Artistic Anniversary Challenge. The idea is that Spike and Buffy meet by chance and have terrific chemistry, but when Spike discovers their substantial age difference he backs off. Buffy, however, is determined to get her man.
Huge thanks to Angelic Amy for the inspiration, teragramm for being an awesome and encouraging alpha reader and making the beautiful banner, and Badwolfjedi for being my cheerleader and beta reader.

Summary: Season 5. Begins with ‘Spiral’ in the abandoned gas station, and goes *far* off-canon almost immediately.
When Dawn makes the ultimate sacrifice to save her sister, friends, and the world, Buffy’s mind snaps. When Buffy's friends give up hope of her ever recovering, and become afraid that she’ll turn violent and uncontrollable, they call in the Council to help. Fearing what the Council will do, Spike, forgotten and ignored by her friends, steps in. Will he be able to reach the Slayer when no one else could? Will he be able to keep her out of the hands of the Council and away from her ‘helpful’ friends? How much heartbreak, guilt, and failure can one girl stand before her indestructible spirit finally resigns the fight and gives up hope?
 
WARNINGS: Threesome B/G/G action involving Spike, Buffy, and BuffyBot. Implied Rape. Main Character Death. Physical Torture. Plenty of angst.

Summary: More or less a sequel to "A Raising In the Sun."   However, all you need to know is that Willow brought Buffy back to life using Dawn's blood and William's soul, and Buffy does not remember heaven. n.b. I started writing this in September 2001, when "Amends" was the only canonical source of information on the First Evil, and finished it in May of 2003. Naturally I got Jossed a number of times in the course of writing. Some of these inconsistencies I revised to accord with the show's canon before completing the story. Others I decided to leave as is, specifically the First Evil's appearances as living people, and the fact that some of the Harbingers in this story are cabable of speech.

Thanks to Aurelio Zen for lettin' me play with her Zagros demon, and many, many thanks to all the folks at the Redemptionista Writers Group for beta reading.

The universe had a few things go wrong in it.
So an order was put in for a second go, by the Powers.
When a Slayer took down her first Master, in LA,
when Whistler was sent in to point a vampire with a soul at a girl who had no clue what he was up to,
things slid a little sideways, onto a slightly different track.

What is 'normal', really?
Who is prophesied?
And what happens if you give the ingredients a stir before you send your dish back to the kitchen and ask for a new version of the same meal?

Summary: Life can be difficult when you are fifteen years old with a baby and few options. Fortunately Buffy Summers is a resourceful girl. Spuffy. All human AU in Four Parts. It's a high school fic with actual high school coming up in Parts Two thru Four. This is a very long saga and will be completed. NOTE: The ratings and warnings I am giving for this story do not represent the entire story - they allow for occasional forays into difficult subjects, but most chapters do not dwell there. It's not a fluffy story, but it is not unrelentingly grim. Like life, it flows among the highs and lows. IMPORTANT: Although Parts One and Two are mostly R content, beginning in Part Three the story will move into more NC-17 territory. ‘The Song Remains the Same’ consists of Parts One and Two. When we move into Part Three it will start a new posted ‘story’ as Parts One and Two are quite long enough on their own. Winner of 'Judge's Pick' in Round 11 of Spuffy Awards and Winner of Best Fantasy Angst and Best Fantasy Author in Round 12 of the Spuffy Awards.

Summary: “The only reason you’ve lasted this long is that you’ve got ties to the world.”
Spike had told Buffy that. Her mom, her sister, her friends, they were what mattered. But now that her mom is dead, those ties are unravelling. Faced with a chance to put it all right again, Buffy makes one tiny (possibly rash) decision and suddenly finds herself thrown back into a world of corsets, carriages, and vicious vampires she knows all too well. So what does a Slayer do when the only way to go back home will risk changing everything she once knew?

Summary: Set in early Season Five. When Dracula called Buffy ‘kindred’’, he was doing a bit more than just saying they had a lot in common.

Hoping to break his hold over her, Buffy requests help from Spike. However, the way you break the hold of one vampire is to let another one possess you more fully.

Summary: When Buffy rents the house of her favorite celebrity to share a weekend getaway with her sister, she's surprised to find the previous tenant hasn't completely vacated it. As much as she enjoyed the tequila, the view, and the hot tub, it's him she can't seem to get out of her head. The end of a long-term relationship and the premier of a new TV show have Spike turning over a new leaf and uncovering a new look. He's sworn off cigarettes and young women but a chance encounter with a determined miracle seeker reminds him that happiness is about more than cutting unhealthy things out of your life; it's about having the bravery to let good things in.

Summary: Part 3 of a the Souls In Bondage series:
After nearly five months spent in a Hell that was strangely like Heaven, Buffy and Spike have come back to the real world.  And guess what?  There’s a reason why Hell was so much fun.  For one thing, there weren’t old friends and ex-Watchers there, and the ur-Slayer didn’t have to figure out what to tell her baby Slayers about the whole, ‘in a lifelong, committed relationship with a vampire’ sitch.  Also, you know, now there was giant Dawn to deal with, and figuring out where to set up housekeeping if everything went to… well, hell. 
Also, you know, there was that whole business with the Scourge.  Couldn’t drop the ball on that. 

Note:  This is a sequel to “LA Is the Hell You Make It”, and is Part 3 of a series.  If you haven’t read the rest, you’ll have no idea what the bloody hell is going on.  I mean, you can; I can’t stop you.  But a lot of what’s happening in here will be taking place in a world unrecognizable to the uninitiated.

And suddenly, Buffy finds herself locked up in a strange underground room in the company of her mortal enemy and the vampire who just broke her heart. But maybe it isn’t all bad. Maybe, this way, Angel will see that this idea about leaving for her own good is bad. Right? Spike, he just wants to get out, but if that’s out of the question, well then at least he’s going to try to have some fun!

Starts out right after The Prom and before Graduation Day pt.I.

Summary: Summary: In an AU season 5, a mysterious carnival has popped up on the outskirts of town – and Spike’s kittens are lost in it! Buffy and the Scoobies must navigate a maze of rides, animals, and deep-fried treats to help Spike capture all his kittens and repay his gambling debts. What happens in the story? It all depends on the choices you make. How does the story end? Only you can find out! And you can keep reading and rereading until Buffy and Spike have had not one but many incredibly daring (and possibly smutty) experiences! Choose your own adventure! More than 20 possible endings!!
 
NC-17 because it does indeed get smutty. Don’t let the posted size of this beast fool you; the longest successful trip through is only 18 chapters, and the successful runs are ~40K words, so unless you are crazy and try to read all the paths in one day (which I do not recommend) it’s merely a novella.

Summary: The real life Buffy, tells her own real life story, of being the Slayer and her relationship with that ONE vampire in all the world. Working under the assumption that the TV series was based on a book based on real life, this is Buffy's story of what it was like to be the Slayer and how things really went down for her and Spike. It's her personal story that didn't even make it into the book! The sometimes sad, sometimes scary, sometimes sweet and always sexy love story that we know as Spuffy.
