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
~*~
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
~*~

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
~*~
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…
~*~
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
~*~
A/N: Some dialogue from “Older and Far Away” by Drew Z. Greenberg
~*~
Chapter 6, Older and Coming Closer

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.

Prologue, In The Mist
~*~
And here’s the final part, just in the nick of time. I hope you enjoyed it! Continue Reading
I decided to break this down into three parts because this bit was longer than I’d remembered. Last part up soon! Continue Reading
Hello, all. Looks like it’s my day. I have a bit of fic to share, and I blame swsa for the inspiration. This is the first part, and the second should be up later tonight.
Rating: PG-13 for naughty language
This takes place in some post-NFA future, with Spike and Buffy together (and Angel visiting to help with the usual apocalypse, lalala).
Thank you to enigmaticblues for the playground! Continue Reading
Spaiku: “Tabula Rasa”
Author: mere_ubu
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Spike and Buffy are not mine. *sob*
A/N: Four angsty haiku from the final scenes of “Tabula Rasa.” Technically, these are probably more, um, “Spuffku” than “Spaiku.”
Feedback is a wonderful thing.
two spaiku: goodbye, honey
four spaiku: love was phony
five spaiku: matrimony
