9. This time last year [part one] by wall_flower [Reviews - 13] (3337 words)
Yep, this will be a two-parter [because I know how much you all love cliffhangers!!] But the second part will be quite a lot darker than the first [just to warn you].
Anyway, read, enjoy, review:: The usual. Thanks very much everyone, and I hope you like this latest bout of twists and turns :]
Oh, and since we're looking into Buffy's past and the journey that took her to where she is today, I'm afraid there will be slight B/Angel. But don't panic, totally not graphic, because, well; eeww.
Pluuuuus some of the dialogue is taken from the flashbacks featured in chapter three of this story :] just in case you wondered. Thanks...
10. This time last year [part two] by wall_flower [Reviews - 22] (2607 words)
Yes, this chapter does involve rape, but it is in no way graphic and is not described so don't let that put you off.
Thank you again to all you fantastic reviwers :)
