Very much a "what if" kind of story in which Buffy wakes up in a mental hospital, having recovered her sanity when she jumped off the tower. She works hard to make a life for herself, including meeting and falling in love with young man, only to find herself pulled back into her delusion when Willow's spell resurrects her. Obviously, AU, but sticks to canon as much as is possible.

Ok, here's the sitch. It's early in a Season V that has been tweaked to suit my purposes. Spike hasn't had his little revelation about his feelings for Buffy, and she, of course, is clueless. Riley has had his surgery and begun his macho identity crisis. Riley has temporarily gone back to Iowa and Spike and Buffy have been working together all summer.

AH: What happens when you lock a hot-tempered bleached blonde and a rambling, peppy, spitfire in a closet together? Probably not much, unless their names are Buffy and Spike. Luckily, in this fic that is their names.

Spike just needs to get some things straight...

AU JH. Jackie Burkhart is having the worst day of her life when everyone forgets her birthday. And to add to that, the guy of her dreams doesn't even notice her and some foreign kid just won't seem to leave her alone. Roughly based on the movie. COMPLETE!

When a snowstorm strands Buffy and Spike, they are forced to turn to each other for strength, especially when a missing Giles, mysterious visitors, and way too much magic threatens to turn it into a not so very merry Christmas. Set mid-S4, BS. - Complete
