Summary
He did everything he had to do. Picked the guy’s pockets, and he’s fairly sure he never realised who Joey was, who he works for. If he had, he’d probably have taken his gun straight to Joey’s head. Instead, it’s another weapon of choice that’s sending him down.
But that guy wasn’t letting him go until he drank.

Summary
The odd headache, bruise or papercut from handing Buffy mugs of tea or finding the right info in a book only sting a little. But she knows. Knows what’s coming. Hard to take a threat lightly when it’s burned in your skin. She still feels it even though it’s not in the mirror, invisible like all the other cries for help.
Ash is kidnapped, but her problems are far from over when she finds her way back to her friends...

Summary
Well, it would just be another person added to the list of other strangers who have seen him get kicked out already. Like some fucking museum exhibit sitting on his dad’s porch. It’s embarrassing he waited there as long as he did.
Joey's too cold, too tired to go to Paul's like he normally does. Corey and his Gran take care of him.

Summary
If Joey stayed, he could have found his friends. Could have gone back to Paul’s – if they didn’t stay up all night celebrating, that is. Maybe his dad would have forgotten all this by the time he came back from school the next day.
But Joey didn’t stay. Which is why his phone is snapped in half on the ground by his head, and why his back hits the wall, hard and awkward, and why he’s lying in the corner by the door, winded, for a long while after his dad stomps upstairs.
Corey thinks Joey missed his show.

Summary
“You did this to me, and now you care?”
“I don't think I did everything that's under there, love.”Spike has one of those funny turns where he remembers he's supposed to be evil and tries to convince everyone of it for all of five minutes. He’s not prepared for what he’ll discover about Ash, or the spiral he’ll set in motion as old cuts reopen.

Apparently if he wanted to see the sun at all he had to think fucking twice before he talked back. Or whatever it was this time. Good luck getting out, in any case.

Summary
Because they don't do that. She'll hop into a seat next to him and joke about the predator gone soft hanging around a bunch of college kids partying, and he'll brush her off with a grin and some smart-arse quip about needing to have fun if he's going to be stuck on this bloody planet.
He doesn't shift closer to her, touch her waist and sharpen his grin. He doesn't ask her if there's somewhere she'd rather be with a quirk of his brow.
Spike isn't himself. Ash needs to know why.
