    Summary

    “I know how we can defeat Glory!” Anya pronounced. Willow and Xander both looked up at her in surprise. Even Giles, over by the register with his tea, looked up in interest. “We run away!”

    Thanks to some research done by Anya, the escape in Spiral is to a different dimension, where hopefully they should be safe from Glory’s all-powerful grasp until the window for the apocalypse passes. But trying to get home will be another matter altogether, in a world where humans are slaves, vampires undergo peculiar transformations, and Cordelia Chase is the messiah. Reuniting with old friends doesn’t guarantee things will get any easier, especially if their enemies also team up to maintain the status quo. What does it mean to be The Key? How many regimes will Buffy overthrow? Is there no place like home?

    Summary

    Several years after the events of NFA, Buffy has settled in London where Dawn is catching up on her missed schooling in order to go to University in England. She buys an old house that she stumbled upon by accident while looking up Spike's past as William Pratt. One day, she finds a very confused and unusual vampire hiding from the sun in the back of her tool shed and, somewhat uncharacteristically, decides to let him remain there until the sun sets. He returns, saves Dawn from a bad bite, and in the process reveals exactly how injured and weak he is. Buffy wavers between putting him out of his misery and nursing him back to health. It may turn out that she is very glad her kinder instincts were at work that night...

    Summary

    Starts a day or two after 'School Hard' and goes AU almost immediately. Spike is forced into an unexpected role when the Slayer is mortally wounded. Is he really just keeping her alive so he can have the epic fight to the death he's dreamed about, or are stranger forces at work? Very explicit, but will also give Spuffy fans plenty of warm fuzzies. Completed on 5 February 2021.
