Writers note: This story is written off the top of my head. I am not a Buffy the Vampire Slayer writer, I do not copy/paste their work, and yes, I can write more by request if you wish. This is a multi-chapter story, perhaps one day it will be something special! :D I hope. Do tell me if you like it. I will start out with a very, very small post and build off of it. Inspiration comes in small spurts, you see. I hope you like it, do leave a comment, rating, something special for me to return to.

Special thanks to: A lot of people who don't even know me! My identical twin that isn't, Tara-bear! o0o You rock my world! She gave me the inspiration. It happened in a role play. I couldn't have thought of it without you! Thanks to Erin who runs the guild I'm currently residing in. If I hadn't read her AWESOME fanfic, I wouldn't have thought to actually post my crap.

Note: This is rated PG-13 for violence, language, sexual content, and..more strong language!

Time: This takes place sometime after the episode Family. Touching episode really, but that's about where it should fit in.
