Category: Story/Romance/Humor/Angst. Heck, everything you could
imagine.
Keywords/Warnings Ummm...no, it would just spoil the fun. Feel free to flame
me, though, I'm leaving myself open to it.
Disclaimer: They aren't mine, but I'm giving them the kind of
treatment they deserve. Which is more than I can say for crack-head
Joss and his co-writers, and all the other stupid people who own the
characters.
Spoilers: Everything through Buffy season 4 the Faith/Buffy body switch episode, and Season
1 Angel: "Eternity". But Faith didn't really leave town, and Spike was never captured by the
Initiative. He's completely dangerous, and at his evil best.
Summary: Spike descides to bring his sire back, soulless, to Sunnydale, to defeat the
Slayer and gain control of the Hellmouth. Things may not go as planned, however, if
Cordelia and Buffy get their way.
This is a response to Goddess Isa's challenge to my list:
1) When Angel is beating the Hell out of Riley, Spike and Xander have
to be cheering him on. Buffy comes in just as Angel's going to snap
his neck and says "Don't stop on my account." when the deed is done,
she asks if Angel intends on doing the same thing to Adam now.
2) Don't let Oz die.
3) Fix things between Buffy and Angel forever.
4) Make Buffy apologize to Giles, Willow, Xander and most of all,
Angel for being so horrible and letting herself fall under Riley's
brainwashing.

Chapter One:
Sunnydale
Friday afternoon
Riley's dorm
Riley watched as she got up from his bed and started to dress. "So
see you tonight?" he asked.
She turned to him, "Maybe. When are you going to dump the Buffster?"
"I told you, Faith. I have plans for Buffy." Riley replied with an
evil grin that none of the Scooby Gang had been privileged enough to
see. Faith jumped instinctively as he vamped out. "Besides, I was told
that Slayer blood is good for a demon's strength," he added.
Faith grinned and pulled him to her for a kiss.
"Start the party without me?" Spike asked as he walked into Riley's
room.
"'Course not, Spikey," Faith said with a smile.
"If you value your life, don't you ever call me that again, wench,"
Spike growled. *Bloody hell. I should never have turned Farm-boy, he's
not any more amusing as a vampire than he was as a human. Pathetic,
really. Oh, well. At least it will be somewhat amusing when Blondie
finds out what I did to her precious Riley.*
"Well, I gotta go. You wanted me to bring Angelus back to town and your
wish is my command," Faith said, brushing her hand across Spike's ass
as she left.
"Why do you keep her around?" Spike asked his childe. "She can and will
stake you whenever she gets bored with you," he added.
"She won't," Riley answered. "She's living for the moment that she
gets to tell Buffy that we never stopped having sex after she got her
body back. After that... I'll snap her neck or something," he finished
with a shrug. "What are you doing here, anyway?" he asked curiously.
"Bored out of my mind, and I gathered, rightly, that Faith hadn't
left for L.A. like I told her to last night. I'm just glad I didn't
walk in on you two idiots shagging. That would've made me lose my
lunch... Well, come on. I've got the word out and the demon
population of Sunnydale will be flocking to the old mansion for a
meeting led by yours truly. Time to plan for my sire's return," Spike
said with a grin.
&&&&&&&
L.A.
Friday afternoon
Angel Investigations
"Angel Investigations, we help the hopeless," Cordelia answered the
office phone. "Angel's busy right now, can I take a message? ...OOOWWWW! Wesley...phone..take," Cordelia gasped as she threw the receiver toward
the "Rogue Demon Hunter." Then she grabbed her head and doubled over in pain.
Angel noticed and moved nearby with a notepad, waiting to write down the
details of the vision.
"Dammit, why do I get the migraines? Why couldn't Doyle have kissed you,
instead?" Cordy yelled at Angel.
Angel cracked a smile, and said "Well, I don't think I was his type,
really."
"Ha, ha, very funny. Geez, if this is what I get because he liked me,
I'd hate to know what he would have done to me if he'd hated me!" she
said as she straightened up.
"What did you see?" Angel prompted.
"Uh, what?"
"Cordy, the vision!"
"Um, it was a wrong number?"
"Cordy," Angel growled menacingly.
"Okay, okay. I..." Cordelia took a deep breath, and blurted out:
"buffy'sindangerspike'sgonnakillher". She winced then, bracing herself
for the reaction from her employer. Nothing? She looked up at Angel,
who was leaning back against her desk, staring at her in disbelief.
"Angel, you are so _not_ going to make me say that again, are you???"
"Tell me _exactly_ what you saw," Angel replied slowly.
"Buffy was fighting Spike, and she was winning, as always. And then,
she turned, I guess expecting reinforcements. Some guy was there. He
vamped out, grabbed her, and..." Cordelia looked away, unable to
face the pain she knew she'd see in Angel's eyes, "held her while
Spike drained her," she finished softly.
"Um, Angel," Wesley said, hanging up the phone. "Sorry to
interrupt, but we have a more pressing problem coming our way. That
was Faith, I'm afraid."
"She's awake???" Angel asked. "How can she be awake? The doctors said
she was as good as dead!"
Wesley sighed and shook his head. "I don't know how long she's been
out of the coma. All she would say was she needed to talk to me. I do
feel responsible, in some way, for her still. If I'd been a better
watcher--"
"You are _not_ responsible for that pathetic excuse for a slayer,
Wesley," Cordelia interrupted. "She was bad news from the beginning."
"Cordy's right," Angel agreed. "There's nothing you could have done to
save Faith, Wesley . A human without a conscience, it's a rare, but
dangerous thing."
"Yes, well, I still feel I should at least see her. I owe her that
much, don't I? I'll understand if you don't want her here, after what
she tried to do to you..."
"I don't trust her, but I'm not afraid of her. She can come," Angel
replied. "Cordy, how long do you think we have on the Sunnydale situation?"
"Knock knock," Faith said as she entered the office. "Angel, Cordelia,
and good old Wes!" she added with a smile.
"I just forgot, I had some shopping to do," Cordelia said as she jumped
up and ran out of the door. She threw Faith a "drop dead" look as she
left, though.
"Have a seat," Angel said shortly to Faith, and pointed to a nearby
chair. He walked over to Cordelia's desk and sat in the chair behind it,
never taking his eyes off her. Wesley moved to lean on the corner of the
desk.
Faith grinned. "Geez, you'd think I was on America's Most Wanted, the
way you two are eyeing me."
"You indicated that you needed to speak to me," Wesley said.
"Yeah, this concerns you, too," Faith nodded toward Angel, "but I
figured you'd rather kill me than talk to me."
"Gee, Faith, what would make you think that? Oh, maybe the fact that
you tried to remove my soul? Twice? Or... the numerous attempts
on Buffy's life? Or was it just the general 'trying to help open the
hellmouth' thing?" Angel replied with a raised eyebrow.
"Okay, I deserved that," Faith answered. "But I'm here because I'm
trying to do the right thing, for once." Angel rolled his eyes, and
Faith sighed but continued. "I can't tell this to Buffy, Giles,
or any of the rest of the gang. They wouldn't believe me, for reasons
that I don't care to get into--"
"I think you'd better," Angel interrupted.
"Well, shit. Fine. The Mayor left me a parting gift, which I found
when I woke up. I didn't know what it was supposed to do, and I had a
run in with Buffy. We got in a fight, and then, somehow, the thing,
it... it made us switch bodies. I did some really stupid stuff, to get
back at B. When it was all over....well, everyone hates me, okay?"
Angel refrained from stating his opinion that they probably hated her
long before the body-switch situation.
"I meant to leave town. But on my way out, I saw Spike, and I thought
I'd do a little slaying for old-times sake. I followed him to your
old place, where to my surprise, there were at least a hundred other
demons, having a little get together. The substance of the meeting
was how they were planning to kill Buffy. I got out of there, and here
I am."
"Buffy's smarter than to fall into any trap of Spike's easily," Angel
replied. "So what was it about this particular plan that made you risk
coming to me?"
"ANGEL!!!!" Cordy burst in the door, and followed that up with,
"OOOOOWWWWWW! NOT TWO IN ONE DAY!" She went to her knees holding her
head, again. Wesley rushed over to her and helped her into a nearby
chair.
"Something tells me that Princess over there could tell you what it is
about Spike's plan that will make Buffy a dead Slayer," Faith said
grimly.
Cordelia looked up at Angel, and said weakly, "Buffy's boyfriend's a
vampire now."
