Summary: Alternate reality. Buffy starts as a normal college girl. But her life is slowly turned upside down beginning with the day she’s unexpectedly in danger. Hired by chance to protect her is Spike, a vampire with a reputation for doing business with anyone for enough money. She’s less than thrilled, but finds herself drawn to him even as she realizes he’s more than he seems. But humans aren’t the only ones after her, and when she’s called as the Slayer, her whole world changes. Things with Spike, who she’s discovered some realities about, are no longer as simple as they seemed. But being sent to the Hellmouth and realizing the high death rate of her calling, Buffy hires Spike as backup with the only thing she has left—Slayer blood.

The last thing he expected was a couple of restless spirits interrupting his sales pitch, or to find himself in a magic-induced liplock.

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: Part One of a Series. 
Post Chosen Buffy and AtS season 5 Spike are sent back (separately) to prevent Glory from opening the portal that resulted in Buffy's death and resurrection, thus triggering the rise of the First Evil. Neither one knows about the other, and the story was intended to be humorous as they stumble around trying to maintain fictional personas. That lasted only as long as it took them to have a face-to-face argument.  Which changed everything....  The fact that they've been dropped into season 4 of BtVS means they have to get though an entire year without causing any major changes to the time line. Which could be tricky, given that it's already changed just by their being there where/when they are.
