Summary: Update as of 26 February 2015: This story is still being worked on. Health problems and family difficulties have given my muse a cramp, but she is stretching and exercising and working the hitch out and I hope to update in the relatively near future. It has not been abandonded and will never be a PWIP. If it takes me a decade I will finish this story. (and it may since I first posted Chapter 1 in 2006)
     Response to Skybound's Bloodshedverse Challenge #101. Instead of Spike just shrugging his shoulders and leaving Angelus to kill Buffy he hesitates and decides to lend a hand. Some dialogue taken from Becoming II. AU from Becoming II. Almost the entire story is told through Buffy and Spike's inner monologue. Revamped from my WIP posted at TSR in 2006. Changes will become more readily apparent in later chapters as I get rid of the elements that I felt wrote me into a corner back in the day. Posting will be intermittent for a short while due to a family obligation, but I'm aiming for @ 2 times a week now that I've reached the point that I'm no longer revamping old material.

Summary: There's a virus loose in Sunnydale, deadly to vampires and humans alike, and the whole town is on lockdown. Normally Buffy would welcome a little time away from it all - but did she have to be quarantined with Spike?!? Sparks fly and tempers flare, and as days turn to weeks and months, it's just a matter of time before something goes terribly, horribly wrong… Fortunately, what happens in quarantine stays in quarantine, right?
