Title: The Phoenix Chronicles

Rating: R mostly for adult situations.  There will be explicit sexual situations and violence later on.

Pairings: Buffy and Spike (who else?)

Plot: This picks up directly after the series finale.  Buffy thinking Spike is dead goes to L.A. with the other survivors.  Her dreams are filled with Spike standing in the flames calling out to her for help.  Can't give too much else away without giving the plot away. 

Disclaimer: Joss owns it all.  They just come out to play for a bit with me. 

Feedback: Please…let me know what you think @ katty_luv@hotmail.com

Distribution: Sure.........just let me know.

A/N:  I would like to thank Anyanka0705 for reminding me that Dru is actually Spike's sire in the BTVS universe according to BTVS "Fool for Love."  For all purposes and events within this story BTVS "Fool for Love" never happened.  In my story Angel is Spike's sire as stated in BTVS "School Hard" and Angel "In The Dark."  I hope this adds a little clarification and offends no one.  Thanks for your reviews.  They really help!

New Beginnings – Chapter 1

Only a few days have passed since Spike gave his unlife to save us all.  There is a hole in my life that he used to fill.  I cannot let myself think about this though as there is still so much to do.  All over the world, there are girls that have become slayers.  Giles and I have discussed briefly the need to contact these girls.  He wants to start setting up a new Council or something close to it.  This Council will not be as restrictive and secretive as its predecessor.  There is just so much to do and I am so tired. 

We drove straight to L.A. after it happened.  Angel's hotel was a welcome sight as we had lost everything in the fight against the First.  The L.A. crew helped tend to the wounded.  Rooms were cleaned and freshened up so that we might have a clean place to rest.  I remember in the church...what he said.
