Summary: All Human A/U - Buffy is left alone raising Dawn after loosing their mother to cancer a few months earlier. What happens when she looses Dawn in the midst of a Christmas shopping spree? Who would find her but security guard Spike... Ok, cheesy summary, and does no justice to the story...

Bio:
I' m 28, just got the exact job I've been avoiding all my life (working with my dad... but it seems OK after all... go figure!!!) and have almost finished my MBA. Been a Spuffy fan for ever, but only got addicted to fanfic in May, 2007, following a nasty break-up (guy pulled an "Angel" on me, and left me for my own good).
Desperately needed a Spike in my life, so I finally decided to give -my- Buffy one (at least to start with; if my first story works I'll try to make as many Buffys happy as possible!!! :P)
01/11/2008 Hey, I got an lj account, http://ssddgr.livejournal.com/ (yup, Sotia is finally catching up with technology! LOL) Almost nothing there yet, but starting next weekend I plan on starting to post there too! Please friend at will! LOL
02/22/2008 See that 'almost finished my MBA' a couple of paragraphs up? Well, replace that with 'have just finished my MBA' (if that jerk doesn't fail me again!!) Woo Hoo!!!!!03/17/2008 The moving icon was made from a manip made for my birthday by framedinlove on lj. Isn't it cool?
01/13/2010:I decided to de-Spuffify and self-publish the P-Series. That means that I will be taking it down from all sites, including LiveJournal. If you want a copy, just comment here with your e-mail address, and I'll send it to you. I'd never have finished that series if it weren't for you.
And if you really wanna buy a copy of the original version, Passionate, you can get one here (and feel free to spread the word). :D
05/28/11: An e-publisher has asked to read the original version of the Tooth Fairy (thank you Kim for pointing me their way!!!)Whether they decide they want to publish it or not, I will be taking it down from archives and my LJ tomorrow. As with the P-Series, I'll gladly send Spuffy copies of it to anyone who asks for it. Feel free to save it before I take it down, if you want, but please refer people who ask for copies to me; I wouldn't like it to be passed around without my knowing about it.
Thank you,

First things first: I didn't know you were getting married! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congratulations again honey, and I hope you get well really soon and enjoy your honeymoon!
This chapter was just so sweet! Dawn is adorable, Buffy is sensible enough not to run scared from Spike's declaration -- yet-- and Giles is perfect... As for Spike, well there are no words *swoons*
I hope you manage to fit some writing in your schedule, though I realize it will be kind of difficult! But I can wait, this story is worth waiting for, anyways :P

Author's Response: Thanks :) I'm hoping that I will go on our honeymoon... but fingers crossed, it's looking good for now. If not, this story may get a bit angsty ;)
So happy you're enjoying the story (as I'm enjoying yours) and that you like the relationships. Your compliments have me blushing! I'll try not to disappoint and get a few chapters written while I'm away so I can post ASAP.

What a wonderful chapter full of awww-worthy moments! *claps hands in glee*
Dawn is a sweetheart and I can't wait for the moment she finally wins and Spike reverts to William *evil chuckle*
Xander and Spike interactions are so in character it was like seeing them grumbling (the remind me of the two old geezers from 'Muppet Show').
The way Tara and Willow are drifting closer together is so wonderfully sweet I kept catching myself grinning.
Oh, and "Yeah, whatever, pet,” Spike looked up at her with a smile. “I’ve been known to fight the forces of evil and win before.” was just priceless!!!
I hope your grandma is feeling better, honey, *hugs both of you* and I really did nothing worth thanking me for *blushes*
Smooches!
Author's Response: Oh Spike had no hope in hell to beat Dawn at anything, but we all know that by now don't we :) And my gran's better now which is good. *big sloppy smooches for your wonderful review*

I'm ecstatic Buffy saw the error in her reasoning, and that she and Spike will patch things up... tho to tell you the truth I wouldn't mind seeing her grovel a little *smirks evilly*
Loved the new chappie,

Author's Response: Yes normally I would be all on board for grovelling as well, but she's been through a lot the last while so I may just go a bit easier on her ;) I'm happy you liked the new chapter and I love to make you Squee (especially at the office) *hugs you tightly back*

Oooooh... you've made Angel almost likeable, and that will make it so much more difficult for Buffy and Spike to get together... and I can't wait to see how that'll happen!
Keep up the good work!
XXX
Author's Response: I'm glad that you like Angel, that was what I was aiming for. I wanted it to be really difficult for Elizabeth to choose... also, I really wanted her to love her husband, but perhaps realise down the line that it's not quite enough.
Thankyou for your comments, more will be posted soon.

Summary: 
Alternate reality. Buffy starts as a normal college girl. But her life is slowly turned upside down beginning with the day she’s unexpectedly in danger. Hired by chance to protect her is Spike, a vampire with a reputation for doing business with anyone for enough money. She’s less than thrilled, but finds herself drawn to him even as she realizes he’s more than he seems. But humans aren’t the only ones after her, and when she’s called as the Slayer, her whole world changes. Things with Spike, who she’s discovered some realities about, are no longer as simple as they seemed. But being sent to the Hellmouth and realizing the high death rate of her calling, Buffy hires Spike as backup with the only thing she has left—Slayer blood. Winner of 20 awards!

You write them both so well, I love this story and will be eagerly waiting for Saturday!
Thank you for a wonderful update! (and Spike can drop me on my back and bite my neck any day!!! lol)

Poor Wesley... living in his own little cloud *giggles*
I really wanna see how this 'just business' deal will work out for them. I think Spike is a bit more realistic about it than Buffy is! LOL. Having him at her neck every once in a while and not jumping him? Yeah, right! Of course the fact that it hurt more than she expected could be because of a conscious effort from Spike to keep it real, cuz I think I remember her enjoying it when they slept together (I'll have to re-read that though--maybe I'm wrong about the biting)
I LOVED this just as much as all the previous chapters, can't wait to see what happens in Sunnydale!

Sotia
Author's Response: Well, Wesley would never guess the truth of where Spike is. It wouldn't even occur to him. :) Buffy did enjoy the biting when she and Spike slept together, but Spike didn't bite her with his vamp teeth. Hmm, you might be headed in the right direction about Spike making it hurt a little the last time, cause where would the fun be in having it unenjoyable for Buffy every time? *evil grin* Let's just say that it's not going to be so simple as "bite, suck, repeat" in later times.
