    Summary

    Buffy is ashamed of him, Spike knows. But when no one else is around, she touches him like she could love him.

    (In which Spike makes a damn good cup of coffee, watches a sunrise or two, and plays confidant to a Slayer who thinks dying to save the world would've been easier than this.)

    Summary

    Boys like him aren’t afraid of wolves, gods, nor love. Girls like her broke locks, jumped head-first through portals to hell, and took mercy on the lowliest of creatures.

    Or:

    Before Buffy jumped, sensing her imminent demise, she indulged a desire for one last act of intimacy with Spike. Now back, she’d just begun to sort out her feelings for him when he’s kidnapped by a force hell-bent on vengeance. Where has he gone? And will she be too late to get him back?

    Summary

    Here's the deal: Buffy's got no idea how to beat Glory, or how they're gonna book it across the country in a moldy RV without anyone killing each other, especially now that someone broke one of the beds—and the thought of going home again kinda makes her wanna cry.

    The one thing she knows is that Spike would follow her anywhere, even like this.

    Summary

    Buffy says, "No, but see, the thing is that good things look a lot like good things until you find out they're bad things, and I am really just full-up on bad things forever, thanks. Only lukewarm things for Buffy."
    "That's the spirit, B!" Faith claps Buffy hard on the back, spilling some of William's coffee onto her shoes. "Let ole Willy warm ya up."
    "Extremely not what I meant," says Buffy.

    AKA: The one where Buffy works at a coffee shop and William is her favorite customer.

    Summary

    Spike cheats at cards. It’s well known.

    Clem is sick of it. Time to bring in his new bff. His gal pal. His girl Friday. Alright, so that’s probably exaggerating, but really, who better to teach a master vampire a lesson in poker etiquette than the Slayer herself?

    And besides, it doesn’t take an emotions-eater like Clem to realize Buffy’s got her own agenda where Spike is concerned.
