Summary
On the heels of Willow’s ill-fated “Will Be Done” spell, she’s sure that a simple forgetting spell baked into her Guilt Cookies can fix everything.
She probably should have had someone help her with the translation first.

Summary
“Buffy?”
He almost never used to call her Buffy. Did he? Always Slayer, or pet, or love. Or like, he’d use her name, but it always sounded odd, in his mouth. All tender, touchy. Like, like he was making eye contact with her, just by saying it.
"Spike."
She wonders if it feels the same, for him. His name, her tongue.

Summary
“You thought about talking to Angel, pet?”
That genuinely shocks her. “About Ava? What, just go up to him all, ‘Hey, Angel, heard a rumor that you’re romantically involved with another sixteen year old slayer? I was cool with it when it was me, but it’s icky now and you gotta stop?’”
-
Buffy and Spike drive home from LA, buy lots of snacks, and discuss the fact that Angel seems to be repeating old habits. Set in present day.

Summary
Originally a standalone fic, the first installment has now spawned a trilogy because I've lost control of my life! Part 1 is a season 4 era slow burn; parts 2 and 3 explore AU versions of s5 and s6, respectively, where spuffy are in an established relationship throughout.
Parts 2 and 3 are planned/mostly written! Other fics in this universe, including missing scenes, bonus content, and possibly an AU s7 (but don't hold me to it) may be to come.

nothing safe is worth the drive (follow you home) by SummerFrost

Summary
Here's the deal: Buffy's got no idea how to beat Glory, or how they're gonna book it across the country in a moldy RV without anyone killing each other, especially now that someone broke one of the beds—and the thought of going home again kinda makes her wanna cry.
The one thing she knows is that Spike would follow her anywhere, even like this.
