Summary
There are many things Blair Waldorf needs: the new sustainable division of Waldorf Designs to be successful, a fresh manicure, and maybe a weekend away with her best-friend.
What she doesn't need is a pretentious Brooklynite with no experience working in the fashion design industry to make her life harder. Or to bring her dinner. Or to look at her like she might be the best thing he's ever seen.

Summary
Faith’s new place is way nicer than the one Buffy remembers. She’s swapped out crashing in the Sunnydale Motel for a penthouse suite in an upscale neighbourhood — or what passes for upscale in Sunnydale, anyway. Why Faith didn’t just get the hell out of town, Buffy has no idea. She would have, if it were her. If there was nothing tying her down, no one here to make her stay?
Buffy feels guilty even letting herself imagine it.
(Buffy Summers, P.I, makes an unfortunate reacquaintance with a person of interest from a former case. She wishes it was as simple as that.)

Summary
He was the only person who ever left her whose abandonment she'd truly earned, and he was the only one who kept coming back.
Events went differently in Season 6, after "Gone", and Buffy and her friends try to get back to what passes for normal on the Hellmouth. But wouldn't you know, as soon as they beat back one interdimensional baddie, the portents of yet another "dark power rising" start to appear. Unfortunately, Willow has seen that this time the demon threat will succeed in wiping Sunnydale off the map — especially if it can recruit the Slayer of Slayers to its side — and that's the best case scenario. This permanent WIP is intended as an alternate season of Buffy.
Note from the poster: This story is entirely by Anna S. (eliade), who has generously allowed me to post her fic to AO3. It is a classic of Buffy fanfic, unfinished and likely to remain so. It has only been available via Wayback Machine for the last several years, and deserves a wider readership. A readership which will soon discover a rich and compelling tale by a master of dialog, characterization, and plotting.
