All that’s left of her is her goofy friends not knowing how to cope, a despairing librarian that smells like Scotch more often than not, and a sorrowful mother who doesn’t know how to let go of her daughter’s childhood stuffed animals. And yet, while she’s supposed to be buried in the ground, with that government operation somehow utterly decimated, she still manages to drive him out of his mind when he keeps finding flashes of her around town. The scent of her on different cemetery grounds, some fledges who swear they met the undead Slayer commanding an army of tiny demons, her eyes staring at him from the end of an alleyway before disappearing into the dark.
Maybe, Dru was right, and the Slayer ruined me.
Spike is left with nothing, but to chase after the last remnants of her on the wind.

The only other eyes to have looked at all this before I’ve posted belong to my real-life friend Sophie. She’s not on this site, but still wants to see what I’ve worked on. Thank you, Sophie!
This story is only for fun, (and to get back to healthy coping mechanisms for stress), but I will do my best with my writing! I’m not a huge fan of long author’s notes, but since I’m new to posting online, I’ll utilize those the best I can, as well!
Thank you for taking the time to read this little story.
God bless!

Firstly, thank you, thank you, thank you!! Thank you to everyone who has read and commented on this little story! I want to write up to your expectations, and I will continue my best to do so!! I'll respond to everyone who has commented when I can!
Had a busy, busy week this past week with birthdays, a baby shower, and seeing friends, so this isn’t as heavily edited as the first chapter. All mistakes are my own, and I do plan to come back and edit, if possible!
Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy!

This is the roughest chapter thus far, a busy week ate up most of my time. Sadly, I did not have time to put everything I wanted to in it, being why it's so very small. I'm planning on the next chapter to have the rest of it!
Right now, this girl needs to be getting better sleep! I apologize for the lack of movement here. I will edit when I can, family events are going to slow down after this week, thank goodness.
Still, I hope you enjoy!

I have realized that the layout I have for Buffy’s house is a bit off, but let’s go with it for now! I can fix it in more edits! Because I’m gonna go ham, when I can, after the Fic-a-Thon is over! I've also played around with the timeline of little canon events, if you haven't noticed before lol.
This chapter is much like chapter 2 in being a bit rough! But, I really enjoyed writing it! Enjoy! Thank you for all of the kind comments as well! I can't wait to dig into editing this after the challenge is over! And to actually have time to respond to you guys! You words mean the world to me!

This is the longest chapter thus far! She's a bit rough, again and places need their filling, but I had a blast writing! There's more to the story coming by way of a few sequel ideas, and, like I've said before, I'm coming back to edit! Thank you to everyone who has read and commented on this little story! I hope you stick around!
Enjoy the last chapter of Treasured Pieces of Her!
