1. Prologue: The Blind and the Dead by KnifeEdge [Reviews - 4] (1808 words)
Story takes place almost immediately following the season 4 finale "Restless" and goes AU from there. Glory and Dawn (and any other related characters: Ben, the monks, etc.) do not exist in this universe.

Warnings: This follows Season 5 fairly closely until sometime after "Fool For Love", and thus, certain canon events still happen. Yes, Buffy and Riley are together (and Spike and Harmony), but this is a Spuffy story, and you can expect those relationships to end as they did in the series, or slightly earlier. Most warnings (and the rating) apply to later chapters and the only character death is canon (Joyce).

I cannot stress enough that this IS a POV fic.

8. Chapter 7: Ask Me No Questions by KnifeEdge [Reviews - 0] (5734 words)
This chapter makes me a little nervous, because it's based on one of my (and I'm sure most other Spuffy fans') favorite episodes. Obviously because we're experiencing this from Buffy's POV, we're not going to get the lovely flashbacks to what actually happened, we're only going to have the word of a not-always-entirely-honest vampire. Filling in the blanks of what he might have told her was both fun and challenging, and I'm a little nervous as to how well you all will accept the results of my game of mad libs with canon dialogue. Still, this was one of the most fun chapters to write, and I hope you like it.

Credits: This chapter contains dialogue from the episode "Fool For Love" written by Douglas Petrie.
