Summary: Buffy followed her college sweetheart to New York only to find out that he wasn't as loyal as she thought. Instead of crawling back home to mommy and daddy, she decides to strike out on her own in the big city. While meeting new people and enjoying her independence, she learns the true meaning of that timeless idiom, you should never judge a book by its cover. Nominated for Best Story and Best Romance at the Cradle of Humanity Awards Round 3. Thank you!

I love to write, even if I haven't actually FINISHED all that much... Any genre works for me, pretty much, but I have a preference for "Buffy likes Spike" fics, rather than the other way around, and in human AUs, I like college fics and ones where Spike and Buffy originally hate each other.

I love this story! It manages to be believable, have a great story-line, some awesome twists, a great Spike and Buffy characterization, oh yeah, and its uber-hot, too!!
But most of all, this story's Oz just gives me the giggles. Not sure why, but I love him.
Author's Response: I love him too! I'll have to use him in a future fic!

Nooo! Spike, are you crazy? What are you doing?! Poor Buffy... first her mom's death, then this, and she's still trying to deny that she's in love with Spike...
Update soon!
Author's Response: Angst!

Foolish, hypocritical, jumping to assumption island Buffy! Don't be so blind, Spike is just bringing back some paintings! He didn't sleep there last night because it reminded him of you! (or maybe he was just too tired/drunk to clean everything up).
Next chapter I want to see everything resolved, and sealed with smoochies!
And again, your Oz is still the best Oz I've ever seen. " "Why are you sitting in a dark room? And why are you sitting in a dark room here?
Oz shrugged, "Peaceful. Better couch." "
and
" "You're really going to have to ask him. I'm way over my word quota for today." "
were both just awesome. :) endless smileys and gratitude if you please include just a little more Oz in this story? Please?
Author's Response: I was able to slip a little bit more Oz in at the end. ; )
