30 something British immigrant to the US with an intense love for Spike's naked bod and Buffy's lower lip.

In moving across continents circa xmas 2013 (and all the attendant furniture construction, decoration and tedious paperwork) I re-disovered BtVS via Netflix. Round about the beginning of S5 I fell for Spuffy and never got up again. Fanfic was, inevitably, forthcoming.

I hang out mainly on LiveJournal (where you can find some of my thinky thoughts about the show/characters, sneak peaks at current projects, bits and bobs not spuffy enough for this archive, and other general wittering) and tumblr (for much of the same, but less well organised!) Feel free to stop by and say hi :)

Constructive criticism and discussion of my stories is always welcome, whether privately or in the comments.

The Soul Lies Down by the_moonmoth [NC-17] Likes: 435 Comments: 280
Summary: "As a child, I used to dream of a man in black and white, spinning in the desert like a dervish, sword flashing in the moonlight as he danced with death." Dawn travels back in time to save the vampire who saved her life. It's not purely out of sentiment, though -- the fate of the world is at stake (again) and somehow Spike is at the center of events. If only he can stay on the right side of Buffy. A sequel to Angearia's "Fin Amour".
