    Summary

    “It’s called Cassandra’s Ring,” said Willow. “In Greek mythology she was a Trojan priestess to the god Apollo. And given the gift of prophecy. The prophecies can be summoned… and um… and held in… in uh—”

    “A blood ring,” cut in Anya, rolling her eyes that the tactful delivery was being pockmarked with so many pauses. “You say the right words, do the magic mumbo jumbo, then you bite someone, someone bites you, and poof; future visions.”

    "Oh boy,” Buffy muttered.

     

    Buffy needs to gain the upper hand over Glory. What better way than to borrow some tactical advantages from the future? But, of course, the visions reveal far more than she expected...

    Summary

    Flashes of memories swept through her mind. Her parents bringing Dawn home from the hospital after being born. When Dawn started writing diaries. When Buffy had burned down the gym at Henry High, and she and her mom had to move to Sunnydale. Dawn… where was Dawn? She was there, but she wasn’t. Buffy pictured the rooms in her house. The photos decorating it. Pictures of her and Joyce. A room filled with supplies for the gallery. But she knew, the photos were her and Joyce and Dawn. The room was Dawn’s, with stuffed animals and nail polish and posters and bright pink sheets. “Dawn…?” she whispered in confusion.
    “She’s the Key,” he admitted.
    “My memories. My mom’s…”
    “We built them. Please… She needs you. She’s innocent."

    Season 5 retelling. Continuation of "One Day You'll Know."

    Summary

    When Spike calls upon a vengeance demon to grant him a wish regarding the Slayer, it comes with... unexpected consequences. Magic always does, right? But now Buffy is invincible, carefree and unemotional, more focused on going out with that cute doctor Ben than protecting her sister, while Spike is bearing all the physical and emotional pain of both Buffy and himself.

    And Glory's still out there somewhere.

    Summary

    Tirer la couverture. Pull back the curtain. Great. Easy. What could go wrong?

    Plenty it seems. When the trance to reveal spells locks Buffy inside her body, her astral presence goes walkabout with whoever touched her last. As she becomes tethered to friends, family, and none-of-the-above, Buffy discovers there's a lot more couverture to be tirered.

    Summary

    A look at Spike and Buffy's relationship if Spike was a little more in touch with his inner William. Begins in early Season 5.

    Potential triggers will be added to the tags as they come up, and will be mentioned in my notes at the start of chapters. Blanket warning for Buffy-style violence and Spike's language.

    Summary

    A Buffy the Vampire Slayer story set between episodes 21 and 22 of season 5. Meant to be canon compliant and the first in a series of three novels chronologically. Based in part on a story I believe was posted on asstr.org, but I can no longer find the original. It too is called "The Break of Dawn" and so, if anyone know of a web archive of it or the original link, please let me know. Anyway, the intent is to rewrite three formerly disconnected stories and try to keep them plausably within canon.

    Summary

    “I do beat Spike up a lot. For him, that's like third base.”
    “Well, have you considered, maybe, not hitting him?”

    Buffy considers this wild possibility, setting off a whole host of season-five changes. (Crush goes off canon.)

    Summary

    “Without knowing the precise point from which one parallel reality diverges with another, we are left with no frame of reference to identify it; to isolate one out of an infinite number would be akin to searching for a single grain of sand upon an equally infinite shore…”—Coronos Alexius Appicus "Exploring the Mysteries of The Cosmos" translated by Wesley Wyndam-Pryce

     

    “Yeah, well…life doesn’t come with ruby slippers. And there is no Yellow Brick Road,” she said, wiping the gathering dampness from her eyes. “I learned a long time ago that some of us have to take the long way around to get wherever we’re going—if we even know where we’re going—and run twice as fast to get there when it already takes everything we’ve got just to stay stuck, standing in one spot.” —Thea Graves

     

    In which Dorthea Graves—a 25-year-old college student whose life was already complicated enough—is stranded in a universe she used to think was a TV show.

     

    Then it gets worse.

    Summary

    Spike tries to take Buffy out in their ‘is this a date’ episode but instead of lashing out, she just goes to the nearest crate and has a breakdown cuz this is the WORST year of her life. Spike vows to make it better for her as best he can and for once, he kinda delivers. Even when the rest of Sunnydale goes off and makes things way, way worse for them all.

    Takes place during the second half of season 5, with dates to make following along w the actual cannon a little easier. Buffy breaks down because if anyone were in her shoes w the year she’s had, they probably would too. Slayer or not, that shit SUCKED. Joyce is a badass and doesn’t die, a giant cockroach demon tries to abduct the Slayer, Spike plays nurse (not in a sexy way), and there’s a road trip from a hell beast. What more could a story have? A happy ending? Yeah, sure, but who wants to go demon bowling? I know Buffy does.

    TW: gratuitous violence, vomiting, blood, gore, trash, bugs, so many giant bugs I’m so sorry, Joyce gets her groove back, BDSM, dominatrix Buffy, slow burn, Spike in therapy (sorta), I live for Joyce with a weapon, guns, abduction attempt, robot Buffy & Dawn (not sexual), sexual assault via roach demon, paperwork & a road trip

    Summary

    What happens when Buffy turns to Spike to help her understand her nature as a Slayer? What happens when Riley experiences the natural consequences of his visits to the suckhouse?

    Written for the 2022 April Challenge month as a response to SlayrGrl's Vampire Riley challenge. It's essentially a season 5 rewrite, AU elements start pretty much immediately but really ramp up mid-season.

    Banner by the amazing Irandamay and betaed by the equally amazing the_big_bad (so much thanks to you both!)

    Content warnings will be updated as the story progresses if necessary but they include everything I'm aware of so far. Please feel to reach out to me if you have any questions about any of my content warnings.

    There is canon Biley until there isn't, and some canon Sparmony and Sprusilla-in-flashbacks.

    Summary


    What would happen if Faith wasn't quite as bad as in canon? What if Faith doesn't wake up from her coma until season 5? What if they talked about their shared dreams?

     

    (Gratuitous classic 2000 movie Bring It On references / dialogue / characters. But you can follow along without knowing Bring It On. Detailed canon divergence notes in the very beginning.)

     

    And the jacket. The jacket smells like her. Buffy remembered how last night, before she went to bed she had sniffed the jacket, inhaling it deeply. It smelled like leather but something else too. Maybe the perfume Faith wore? Or her shampoo? Buffy frowned. She was pretty sure rivals didn’t sniff the war trophies they took after they won.

    Summary

    Most of this is more outline than fic, but I still thought it was fun to share.
    When the Federation discovers magic, they're not particularly prepared. Fortunately, Admiral Giles has a team in mind...
