Introspective

Stories
Summary:

In which Buffy does a lot of reflecting on who was at fault for everything that happened with Angel, and how that's still messing with her at 22. Currently totally unedited because if I don't post something I will never ever get back on the writing horse.

Heavily heavily inspired by the songs "Would've Could've Should've" by Taylor Swift and "29" by Demi Lovato

Summary:

Buffy and Spike are finally a couple. But after spending so much time and effort building up their emotional intimacy, they've sort of lost their way with the physical side of things. A road trip to Oregon seems like the perfect time and place for them to work it out. Through talking. Definitely talking. Certainly using their mouths. And tongues. And maybe a few other things.

Summary:

Years of well-established coupledom under their belts, Buffy and Spike are visiting Angel and Sally in LA to hear a special announcement. Buffy realises there are some things she should probably “talk out” with Angel. Because it’s rude to scream, right?

This was my Buffyverse Bingo contribution for the prompt 'All's Well That Ends Well' in November 2020. Title is a slightly garbled quote from Shakespeare's play of the same name.

Nausea by stuffandnonsense Rated: 13+ Liked [Reviews - 0]
Summary:

It used to be that, whenever Angel was alone and thinking about Buffy, he’d read Sonnets from the Portuguese. But ever since they’d nearly kissed again he hadn’t dared think those thoughts, let alone read them. He knew full well that reading Sartre instead was a terrible idea, but he was doing it anyway.

Summary:

Buffy Summers jumped from the tower to close Glory's portal in 2001, and Spike only survived her death because Dawn needed him. But Buffy's sacrifice didn't work. In 2023, the world is about to end and Faith starts travelling back in time, trying to fix it. Facing down her own death, Dawn has a plan to send Spike somewhere he won't have to lose everything: a dimension where Buffy is still alive.

The only problem is, so is her husband: Spike.

Like all of the Further Tales, this can be read as a stand-alone what-if. But you may appreciate it more after reading Ripples on a Hellmouth.
