Chance It.
Buffy S6.
Pairings: Spike/Buffy. Faith/OC. Tara/OC. Anya/Wes.
Sometime during the summer after The Gift, Spike finds Buffy's grave disturbed. After a Scooby meeting they discover that Demons have dug her up, to use her for a dark magicks ritual. When they recover her, Giles insists on cremating her body, so none of this ever happens again. That's when Will and the others' scheme to resurrect her comes out and things get chilly between Will and Giles. The Bot is destroyed permanently and even with Spike's help, they are barely keeping themselves and others alive. Giles makes a necessary call to the Watchers Council, who are not bad guys, finally telling them that Buffy is indeed dead.
They have no choice but to find a loophole in Faith's sentence, that leads to her early parole. She'll need to wear a locator bracelet and can only go two places, work at the Box and home on Revello. But then how does she slay? Willow does her computer wizardry and the signals are scrambled. Unfortunately for Faith, she has absolutely no luck and even less friends. Willow triggers it to sometimes go off and the cops come looking, the leftovers from the Mayor's campaign are out for her blood and Dawn is blaming her for Buffy's death.
She finds a few friends in Spike, Tara and Anya, though, while Giles is too busy glaring daggers at Willow, Willow does the same to Faith while pining after her ex and Xander is busy throwing snide remarks to Spike and belittling Faith. But what happens when the ghost of someone familiar starts haunting Spike in his new home, that Faith convinced him to get? Just how far are people willing to go, to get a beloved back?
