Note from Liyah:

After googling this and that, I've come up with a new piece to do. Basically one-shots with the characters (in this case: Cordelia/Lindsey, Faith/Welsey, Oz, Gunn, Spike, Angel and other Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters may eventually pop up) and a holiday/observance of some sort. Sound good? I hope so.

Now, this piece is strictly AU and takes place approximately three years after graduation.

Background information is that after they found out that they were cheated on, Cordelia and Oz became better friends and broke away from the core members of the Scooby Gang. Although they still helped, unable to fully leave because of their conscience, they also did so as a favor to Giles, the pair had come to see him as a surrogate father. They left Sunnydale immediately after Graduation for Los Angeles; there they meet Faith and Wesley, both of whom had never stepped foot into Sunnydale and instead worked the streets of LA. Also, adjusting Faith's age by a couple years, making her 23 in this piece, and making her the Slayer before Buffy because I can. Cordelia and Oz are 21 and because I really have no idea how old Wesley and Lindsey really are...Wesley is 25 and Lindsey is 23. Gunn is also 23 (I almost forgot about him, lol).

As for Spike and Angel... Spike mostly works in Sunnydale, but occasionally finds his way to Los Angeles; he and Cordelia had managed a friendship soon after he had the chip placed onto his brain...while Angel works with some of the others (mainly Faith and Wesley, sometimes Gunn) as Angel Investigations. Cordelia doesn't inherit the visions because I'll sadly be ignoring Doyle and his involvement in Angel. Cordelia runs a small (but popular) boutique on Rodeo Drive, selling clothes and accessories from her line: Chase (I did say AU, right?). Meanwhile, Oz plays guitar for the house band in Caritas and volunteers at the teen shelter run by Anne Steele. Lindsey writes music which he then performs with his band at various bars and nightclubs around LA.

One-shots vary in lengths and rating, although will mostly be rated around PG and PG-13 for some language and sexual content (although, not much because, in truth, I'm bad at writing smut), and will jump around quite a bit. Basically, the next piece won't necessarily follow the previous pieces, future pieces may take place before pieces already written, etc... I'll try not to confuse you, too much at least.

As usual, reviews are loved and appreciated and flames make me laugh :D

And THANK YOU for reading this!
