Bio:
Whaddup, g?

I am 30, flirty, fabulous, and thriving. Well, I'd like to be at least. Some days I think I manage it pretty well. Most days I am just a normal girl struggling to live in a normal world - aren't we all, though? I have a very ambitious career working for a global Internet site, but really want to be a writer. I have a comic book that I've kinda been working on off and on for a few years that might see the light of day eventually. I also try my hand at fanfiction from time to time, writing under the name agora. I'm a sucker for a good 'ship - especially the against all odds sort.

Happy to make new friends - thanks for stopping by!

I would sincerely like to thank you for sharing this story... I have only recently started to get into Spuffy goodness, and have been stuck home ill this past week. I have spent pretty much the last two days straight reading your Origins series - all of it! You are a very talented writer. I look forward to reading more of this tale.

Wow - this is a really great story! I hope to see more soon!

Summary: COMPLETED Buffy Summers is successful and content with every aspect of her life save one: her sex life. Sick of methodical vanilla sex with her current boyfriend, she still has never been able to achieve an honest first-rate orgasm in her entire life. Then one day she stumbles upon a mysterious escort service online that offers her hope of a perfect sexual experience and impulsively decides to seek out their help. What starts as a simple business transaction turns into a night of unbridled passion-filled sex with the handsome stranger the service pairs her with, leaving both of them to question if once is truly enough. Special noteThis is NOT porn without plot. Matter of fact it's loaded with plot. Please do not shy away from this theme as I think you will be pleasantly surprised as to what's really inside. Thanks.

Keep On Moving by Cass Rated: 15 Liked [Reviews - 83]
Summary: FINAL CHAPTER for now. But the sequel may yet get a sequel ;) Sequel to 'Moving On'. So Spike and Buffy have overcome all sorts of odds and now they are together and happy in Rome... But this is Spike and Buffy, after all, so how long do we really think this will last? Especially given that Spike has made himself a powerful enemy... This is still very much a Spuffy fic, but other characters (especially Dawn and Andrew) will get to play too.
