Summary
He held his chest as he felt mounting pressure on his sternum. He tried to focus on taking in slow, even breaths. When sleep finally came, he dreamed of a chestnut-haired girl, arm desperately outstretched, falling deeper and deeper into a bottomless well.

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
One moment she was sitting in the chair. Her chin up, her expression ice. And the next moment she was gone.
No one had to tell Mulder something had gone wrong. No one had to tell him the difference between having Scully and lacking Scully. In that distinction he was expert.

Buffy Season Noir by Anna S (eliade)

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.

Summary
The best day of her life, she thinks: when Mulder comes back. She argues and argues to treat him and to save him, as though running slow, through water.
“Who are you?” he jokes when he wakes up, and she is so grateful. She wants to tell him Go easy, I am barely off the sauce, and Please only be exactly yourself.

Summary
A case in the Florida Everglades takes Mulder and Scully on a terrifying journey nowhere. The air conditioning and the laws of physics won’t work. She wants dinner and not to die. He dreams of a boy on the beach and not being Captain Ahab. A love story of absolute evil and existential doubt and truth not found on the free map from the Visitor Center.
