This is a Chosen fic. It starts with Buffy, Angel and Spike defeating the First and each getting one wish as a reward. Buffy wishes for a normal life and to forget everything that's happened in the last 7 years, and for everyone to forget her. Angel wishes to be human. Spike is the last to make his wish; all he wants is to remember Buffy. The PTB say that as long as he doesn't try and interfere with Buffy's wish, he can keep his memories of her. Not sure how long later, but Buffy is in San Francisco visiting her dad and runs into Spike at a music store. She doesn't remember ever meeting him, but thinks he's really familiar. spike knows he's not supposed to interfere with her new life, so he tries to give her the brush off, but she doesn't let him. eventually they start dating because Buffy is persistent and she starts remembering things from her old life. At the end, she goes to see the PTB and says she made a mistake with her wish and agrees to be the slayer again while negotiating for some perks for spike. .. i know he gets a heartbeat but can still keep all his vampire strength.
Anyone think this sounds familiar? |
