Summary: Spike, a curse, a Slayer and a Hellmouth – what more could you ask for? Set in Season One and spinning off canon pretty much from the first word – Spike ends up in Sunnyhell alone and subject to the whims of The Powers – what can a vamp do? How will he fit in? Will he fit in? Does he want to? What will Angel's reaction be to the presence of his Grandchilde, let alone Buffy's reaction to the peroxide pest?

Summary: Takes place just after the Angel episode ‘Damage’ then goes AU.
Spike’s hands were cut off, but that’s just the beginning of his trouble. Will he be strong enough to survive? And will Buffy be able to help him?
****WARNING****
This story is graphic. Extremely graphic. One of my beta readers (no_promises) cautions that this story should not be read while eating. It doesn’t simply allude to torture and sexual abuse, it describes it in gory Technicolor detail, so if stuff like that squicks you, please don’t read.
For all of you that are still with me, I hope you enjoy it. Happy reading!

Is this story on hiatus, or has it been abandoned?
Author's Response on July 28, 2014 09:29pm It's on hiatus for a bit. My muse hasn't been letting me work on it of late, but I hope to get back to it soon.
Summary: What if Buffy had paid more attention to what Spike said directly after, "Out. For. A. Walk . . . Bitch."? How would she have responded if she'd caught his blunder? An alternate Season 5 unfolds. Note: this fic closely adheres to canon, but with a Spuffy twist. Think of it as "How Season 5 Should Have Been".
M for action/violence/torture, mild language, character deaths, and "lusty wrong feelings". ;)
