Author’s Note: I have had more fun writing this than anything in quite a long time, and I can’t wait to see what you guys think. It’s dedicated my best friend in the world, therealmccoy1, without whom the story would not exist. My thanks to her, megan_peta, elizabuffy, dusty273, and spikeslovebite for betaing this. I’ll post the first five parts throughout the day; the rest will be posted upon completion at archives I’ll list at the end of Part 5.
Thank you for reading! 
Hero’s Reward 12/12
See A/N in Chapter 11 for notes on dialogue from series
Poem at end is Love Sonnet LXXIX by Pablo Neruda (I’d pay to hear JM read his sonnets!)
~*~
Chapter 12, Called to Life
~*~
Hero’s Reward 11/12
A/N: Although the plot has taken a turn far from canon, I have sought in these last two chapters to touch on the last episodes of Season 6 with an occasional bit of dialogue or “moment”. Those episodes are “Seeing Red” by Steven De Knight, “Villains” by Marti Noxon, “Two to Go” by Douglas Petrie and “Grave” by David Fury
~*~
Chapter 11, Setting Red Right
~*~
Hero’s Reward 10/12
~*~
Chapter 10, Out of Chaos
~*~
Hero’s Reward 9/12
A/N: From this point the story veers very off canon. A bit of dialogue comes from “Angel” (BtVS S1) by David Greenwalt
~*~
Chapter 9, Nothing Normal
~*~
Hero’s Reward 8/12
A/N: Keeping this one PG-13 or R at the highest rating. Only hinting at NC-17 material. Some dialogue from “Hells Bells” by Rebecca Rand Kirshner
~*~
Chapter 8, Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed…
~*~
Hero’s Reward 7/12
A/N: Some dialogue from “As you Were” by Douglas Petrie. Yes, I did change the location for the confrontation with the Suvolte from a dam to a waste treatment facility.
~*~
Chapter 7, As It Could Be
~*~
Hero’s Reward 6/12
A/N: Some dialogue from “Older and Far Away” by Drew Z. Greenberg
~*~
Chapter 6, Older and Coming Closer
~*~
Hero’s Reward 5/12
A/N: Some portions of dialogue from “Dead Things” by Steven S. DeKnight
~*~
Chapter 5, Live With Pieces Missing
~*~
Hero’s Reward 4/12
A/N: Some dialogue borrowed, and in some cases twisted, from “Gone” by David Fury and “Doublemeat Palace” by Jane Espenson
~*~
Chapter 4, Returned
~*~
Hero’s Reward 3/12
A/N: Some dialogue taken or modified from the script of “Wrecked” by Marti Noxon

~*~
Hero’s Reward 2/12
A/N: Some dialogue taken from, or twisted to my purposes from, “Smashed” written by Drew Z. Greenberg
~*~
Chapter 2, Repaired
~*~
Hero’s Reward 1/12
Title: Hero’s Reward
Rating: mostly PG13 with a few violent scenes that might get an R but doubtful
Setting: Begins post AtS “Not Fade Away” and rapidly goes to S6.
Summary: Given a chance to do things differently a hero finds that putting another first and ignoring his own desires can lead to his rewards beyond his hopes.
