Things go a bit differently for Spike and Buffy during Something Blue. The story emerges in the aftermath. It was inspired by the following- "It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge." -Friedrich Nietzsche I don't own them, Joss and friends do, but I borrow them.

Buffy and Spike are in for the surprise of their lives when an enigmatic Watcher travels from the future to enlist the help of the Scoobies in retrieving a mysterious weapon that has been stolen from the future Slayer. But when the true nature of the weapon is revealed, Buffy is forced to consider a shocking future with a vampire she loathes-or does she? Season 5, after Family.

Every night it's the same dream: a dark room, a big bed, and a silent vampire I can't see... Set in an AU Season 5 with no Glory or Dawn B/S. Rating has gone up.
