Summary: A sequel to Tears in the Rain, please read that first. A year has passed since Buffy disappeared after that fateful fight in L.A that cost Spike his life. Taking his duster, his lighter and his bike, Buffy scorned her one-time father figure, her former first love and ex-best friend, and rode off into the night. Giles, having lost all power over the Slayers since they discovered his treachery, sends a reluctant Faith to track down the elusive Buffy Summers in the hopes of bringing her back.
What Faith finds is not the Buffy she remembered. What she find is a Slayer lost in the dark.

Summary: Sequel to Whispers of a Dream.
There is comfort in memories. They remind us of happiness, of joy and of love. They remind us of what we live for, what we strive for and what we hope will come to pass. But, though they bring us joy and comfort, they can also bring sadness and pain, as we remember that we have lost. And when we feel that pain, we will do whatever we can to numb it.
As Dawn deals with Giles once again trying to go after her sister, Faith is faced with the very harsh of reality of Buffy's depression, and faces a difficult decision.
