Summary
Astarion doesn't feel good. He doesn't feel fine or okay or anything so romantic. He is still a sleep-deprived slave, his arms sliced open and his every move prescribed by a monster masquerading as a man in oversized suits. But there is blood in his body, and the job ahead of him is preferable to his usual orders. He feels marginally better than miserable, and in this moment, that is enough.
--
Astarion is pulled from the Kennel because Cazador needs his new garments tailored. Astarion is a talented tailor, and he loves the art. He doesn't love doing it *for Cazador* or for his wretched siblings. But the quiet and rhythm of sewing is the safest place he knows.
--
5 November: Now with a bonus hurt/comfort chapter further exploring his relationship with his siblings, especially Dalyria.

Summary
AU. Spike killed his third Slayer, but Dru was already dust. He's been lost, but when his supper turns out to be more than he bargained for, it leaves him hungry for something else instead. And Buffy? She's just hungry.
Takes place in an alternate universe in which Buffy isn't the Slayer (yet), just a girl with rotten luck. Spike is still an evil vampire with a big black car, leather jacket, and the capacity to be much more than just a demon.
Based on a challenge at EF by Mia Vaan. Beta'd by Gort.Archived on AO3 and EF ONLY.

Summary
We pick up after Buffy's first encounter with Glory, when she's just learned about the truth about her sister Dawn. This is a slow, slow burn Spuffy fic with scenes centered around those two. The first canon divergence is simple -- Spike encounters Buffy on her way home after getting pummeled by Glory and having a bomb dropped on her by the dying monk. He is struggling with accepting his feelings for her, but ends up trying a slightly less unhinged approach to building trust and winning her affections. The road is long and winding, and honestly this started as a single scene where Spike cheers Joyce and Dawn up by dancing with them and then it just... got away from me.

Post-resurrection, Buffy's found herself in a gig that pays the bills: showing up to Wolfram and Hart events as Angel's arm candy and Slayer-y intimidation. It's glamorous if not enjoyable; she just never thought she'd meet someone at one of these events.

Summary
You deserve this, Buffy thought to herself. You deserve to feel every second of this guilt because it’s your fault.
Spike was suffering, truly suffering, as he grappled with his newly-won soul, and it was killing her a piece at a time to watch.
And god help her, she loved him.
