Summary
“Faith,” Angel says. She turns to look at him -- his throat is working. He rubs one hand over his face. “Faith-- Buffy was killed on a routine patrol.”
Faith can’t help but visualize her lying on the ground, being fed on. Someone’s teeth at her neck. Struggling and struggling until her body finally stops fighting. She says, “Oh.”
Giles is dead. Willow’s in danger. The kid -- the little sister, supposedly -- under Angel’s protection and far away from the action. Red eyes, clenched fists. 'We lost her' and not 'she’s dead'.
(or, Faith has to go slay a vampire)

Summary
Three years after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Ted Buchanan, Buffy Summers is out on parole. She's back in Sunnydale and ready to make a fresh start - but nothing is as she left it. Her friends are gone. Her mother is dead. Perhaps most importantly, Sunnydale already has a Slayer: Faith Lehane, who's been saving the world this whole time while Buffy's been locked up.
Does Buffy even have a place here anymore? What's Faith supposed to do with an extra Slayer in her town? And if they despise each other so much, why can't they manage to stay apart?

Summary
It's been a couple days since Sunnydale caved in on itself, the other Slayers all went off to meet their families, (Andrew also went to England because I said so), and the rest of the Scoobies (including Kennedy and Faith) are staying at a motel for the time being. Where do they go from here?

Summary
Will and Hannibal have been circling each other since the day the met. Hesitant and wary. Little did they know that uniting would bring them relief, not pain.
OR the one where Hannibal slightly manipulates Will and triggers his starve for touch, but accidently triggers his own need for touch. And the one where Will needs to be absolutely sure that what Bedelia said was right.

Summary
A Season 2 AU in which Will Graham did not, at any point, accuse Hannibal of being the Chesapeake Ripper.
Will Graham is the smartest person most people will ever have the misfortune to meet. Hannibal Lecter has been no exception; he's brilliant, but his failing is that he assumes he's the mastermind in every situation. He still thinks Will didn't pick up on every weird joke, every coincidence, every threat disguised as a charming quip, every flashing neon sign that screams "Hannibal Lecter is the Chesapeake Ripper!"
Now, Will has to decide what he wants from Hannibal. For the first time in his life, it seems like there's a possibility that somebody might be close enough to his level for a real connection. Hannibal is an apex predator in a garish suit, blind to Will's superior camouflage, and the Ripper's obsession with Agent Graham is so obvious it's drawing attention from... undesirable sources. If Will can manipulate everything to his desired outcome, Hannibal could become the equal Will has always wanted.
If he wants to protect their fragile peace, it'll take a lot more than just Hannibal Lecter.
That's fine. After all, Will has never been able to stop himself at just one stray.
