Past Featured StoryLiving Conditions by sweetprincipale [NC-17] Likes: 481 Comments: 285
Summary: Sunnydale Memorial Awards Round 27 Nominee: Set in early S. 3 with a few changes: Buffy is still working in LA, she never had the run-in with Lily that made her decide to go back to Sunnydale, and Spike's come back to California already. Both of them are living completely separate, unrelated lives until fate and its sick sense of humor throw them together. Part angst, part fluff, and of course, eventually a little smut.

Past Featured StoryNot Heads or Tails by bramcrackers [NC-17] Likes: 456 Comments: 198
Summary: Spike
Turns out the Gem of Amarra is more complicated than just a get-out-of-death-free card and as soon as I put the bloody thing on, I find myself compelled to play the white-hatted hero. And the damn thing is stuck on my finger. Sodding magic.
Buffy
Riley is perfect, right? Normal, cute, way into me. Not involved with anything that goes bump in the night. So yeah. Perfect.
Except I'm not so sure his white-picket-fence future is one I want. In fact, it kind of makes me ill thinking about it.
And Will’s will-be-done spell, and the very naked things that happened during it? That did not help.
Riley
I can handle Buffy being the Slayer. Really.
But she's my future wife and I'm not letting a tacky Billy Idol wannabe of an HST drag her into the darkness.

Summary:

Shaken by the memories that flooded through him when his soul was returned, Angel took off into the night, leaving Buffy and an ever growing portal to a hell dimension behind him. With no other choice, Buffy stabbed Spike, condemning him to an eternity in Hell. The only problem was that as he was sucked in, he pulled Buffy in with him. 
 
Buffy always expected Hell to be full of fire and brimstone, but now she is trapped in a twilight realm, where the cold bites and the darkness waits. As she and Spike battle their new reality, and each other, the lingering question is, what will they do when the snow finally falls?
