Moving On by velvet cat Rated: AO-AdultsOnly Liked [Reviews - 64]
Summary: What if Spike didn't go back to L.A. at the end of the Angel episode 'The Girl in Question'? Slightly different from my usual AU, in that Spike and Buffy won't be together for a while but this fic WILL tie in with my others.
(Don't worry, though, you don't HAVE to read it to 'get' the others) Some of the warnings refer to later chapters but I thought I'd better put them in now, just to be safe.

Ooooo! Surely, Buffy won't want Spike to forget anything. I cannot see that if she truely loves him. She should keep Spike and Jennifer Anne.

Summary: This one is a little hard to summaries to bare with me : ) Set season 6 but is very AU.

What if Buffy's parents where killed by vampires when she was fourteen starting a whole new chain of events that lead Buffy to England and Faith to Sunnydale? Now Faith is gone sacrificing herself to save her sister Dawn and Buffy is sent to take her place
How will the gang respond to her? What secrets are in her past? and how will a now chipped Spike respond to the new slayer?

Choices by Spikes_slayer08 Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 8]
Summary: Set season 6 Smashed re-write goes off canon after that.
I always wanted to see things go differently in smashed, i think if Spike had done a few things different that night him and Buffy would have had a real chance. It's all about choices so here is my take.


For the purposes of this fic "Once with more feeling" never happened so the gang is unaware about Buffy being in heaven, Willow and Tara have broken up but it was because Tara couldn't forgive her for doing the memory spell on her.

Still loving this story. I look forward to every new chapter and, of course, hope they get smutty sooner rather than later. Can Buffy punch out the Whelp soon?

Author's Response: LOL. There will be no Buffy-punching of the whelp... but I\'m sure Spike will have a good reason soon enough *evil grin* Glad you liked it!

You must have more of this!! I know it would serve her majesty right to have the gorgeous one walk out on her but . . . .

Author's Response: He\'s not walking out, exactly. He\'s...taking a breather. For a few months. Or years. Whatever. And she doesn\'t deserve it, she\'s just in a really dark place. (Heh. That\'s what the show writers always used to say to excuse her behavior in S6.) But really, Buffy doesn\'t mean to push him away. Not this time. It\'s just that he\'s heard the same thing so many times, that even when it\'s not what she\'s actually saying, it\'s what he hears. Sometimes they shouldn\'t say words.

Summary: On a visit to the most haunted island in Britain, Buffy Summers is surprised but happy to find herself falling in love with the enigmatic Spike Price, who eagerly returns her feelings. When a ghost-walk goes awry, they find their lives entwined with those of William and Elizabeth, two lovers who lived more than a century ago. All-human AU with supernatural elements.

Loving this tale! BTW, I saved your beautiful banner to my desktop because to see Spike/James look so young and innocent is absolutely breathtaking.

Author's Response: Thank you! And thank you for commenting on the banner. :)

Summary: After the hellmouth has been closed, Spike is dead and Buffy is heartbroken. Due to his self sacrifice, Spike is given another chance at life by the demon, Meridiana. The only stipulation is he has to send her the souls of a thousand evil men.

Have I told you how much I love this AH tale? Probably not and I'm sorry for the oversight. Did the bar hire Riley or Angel? More soon please.

Summary: Follows two Schmoop bingo ficlets (Not Tonight, Honey and Taming the Devil) in which Spike has come to Sunnydale in early S4, but to find Buffy, not the Gem. They find they have an attraction that neither one had been willing or able to see before. This much longer fic deals with how they determine if and unsouled, unchipped vampire and Heaven's Chosen One will be able to have a relationship.

Author's Response: Happy that you are liking. I\'ll try to get the next post out soon. Reviews are the best way to speed up the muse - thank you for yours.

Summary: The scars on her face have made her a recluse but when the bleached stranger barges into the small town like a black clad hurricane, he throws her quiet life right out of whack. He’s aggravating, unpredictable, and oh so hot.

The destiny she never thought she’d have is set in motion the minute she starts having dreams of being someone else. But how can she figure out what it means when she forgets as soon as she wakes up?

The story is AU but it’s a world that has all the supernatural in it.
