Summary: Everyone knows that Buffy Summers is a pretty, popular cheerleader with a perfect life, just like everyone knows that Spike Walsh is a dark, disturbed punk who's more arrogant jerk than decent person. Everyone also knows that they hate each other. So what do you do when it turns out that what everyone knows is just plain wrong?

Just read the entire story! loved it from start to finish!! awesome job! now i'm working on another one of you're stories!
Summary: Buffy and Spike used to be best friends back in high school, but Buffy soon discovered that she wanted more. Not wanting to ruin their friendship, she kept her true feelings to herself. When Spike's seemingly shallow relationship with a woman named Drusilla turned long term, Buffy couldn't handle seeing the love of her life with someone else, and walked out of his life without explaining why. Two years later, Buffy once again enters his life after hearing of a tragic accident, and finds that she’s not the only one who’s been keeping secrets all this time.

yayyyy more love hehe cant wait to read it
Summary: "hey listen up you wankers---you can listen to this tale and learn something or you can turn your tweedy noses up in the air because the story mentions using a bit of the old maryjane... you can learn some about vamps and slayer history, and something about lies your elders told ya...and how the best slayer there ever was found her power and her way, as well as a little of her own history"
What happens when Buffy goes to a party and tries smoking pot? How will she react to it and how will it affect her slayer senses? And what will Spike say when he finds the stoned Slayer?
Set in an alternative season 5 universe where Riley left but Joyce is alive and kicking and there is no Glory.

Author's Response: I am writing some more, but currently having a slight case of writer`s block. Don`t worry though, will post the next chapter soon. ;-)
Summary: During School Hard, Spike observes Buffy dancing at the Bronze, but instead of sending her off on a merry chase after his minion, he decides to do a little dancing of his own with her… and perhaps a bit more before killing her off. However, the instantaneous attraction that surges between them now threatens to put a damper on his plans.
Buffy has never felt like this before and allows her lust and desire for the mysterious stranger who invites her to dance at the Bronze to overrule all thoughts other than being his in any way he chooses.
What will happen when she discovers he's a master vampire planning to kill her on Saturday? And will he still be able to when the time comes?**Nominated for Best Episode Stealer at Round 5 of the Spark & Burn Awards, thank you very much! **
