The following songfics are all based around songs from Shawn Colvin's CD, "A Few Small Repairs". Actually, I find it amazing that a single CD can have so many fitting songs on it... Or maybe I'm just crazy. Either way, you'll see when you read them. I've included below in the Table of Contents an individual summary for each one. This is why you needed to read this stupid droning intro to understand what I'm doing here. Keep in mind that these are to be treated as individual fics. They are COMPLETELY unconnected, and I can't guarentee that they are particularly realistic, either. But then, this is fiction, so they don't have to be. ;-)
Oh yes, and here's a disclaimer... just in case any big bad Powers That Be are watching:
The songs in these fics probably belong to Shawn Colvin, John Leventhal, and Tom Littlefield (because they wrote them. I dunno who actually owns the copyrights). The Buffy characters are property of Joss Whedon. Neither are used with permission, but I'm not getting paid for using them, so sod off and leave us pathetic obsessive souls in peace!!
Table of Contents
"Buffy Came Home" ~ Spike/Buffy A post-Gift fic, but it's REALLY WEIRD. You might want to skip this one if it really bothers you that I kill Spike in it... but it's a HAPPY death. Sort of. Okay, he goes out of his fragile little brain first, but if you want to know how I kill him you'll have to read it. Trust me, I adore Spike -- I wouldn't give him an UNhappy death.
"If I Were Brave" ~ Spike/Willow The events in this fic are technically post-Gift, but QUITE a while in the future. Willow is now a woman in her 30's. This is, I suppose, a fic assuming she isn't gay... or maybe that she tried not being gay and it didn't work for her. Short summary: Spike and Willow break up.
"84,000 Different Delusions" ~ Spike/Dru Takes place directly before "Lovers' Walk", when Spike breaks up with Dru and goes back to Sunnyhell. I've taken a slight creative liberty by changing the way he actually arrives -- in my version he doesn't fall unconcious the instant he gets out of the car.
"Trouble" ~ Spike/Buffy Takes place as Buffy (dressed as Spike's robot) is about to walk out of Spike's crypt at the end of "Interventions". This doesn't change the ending or flow of events, but it would have been really cool if Spike could do this thing with the teleportation.... ;-)
"Mona Lisa" ~ Spike/Willow Brain candy. Spike and Willow dance. Not set in any particular episode/time. Just a lovely little interlude for Spike/Willow shippers. This is my favourite one.
"Nothin' On Me" ~ Spike/Dru Ya know how after "Lovers' Walk" Spike is belting out "My Way"? Well, I like this song better. And this ending. ;-) To clarify -- I don't know if this ending is plausible, having never actually seen/read anything that happens afterwards until somewhere around the middle of season 5. But I like this ending, so you'll all have to live with it. I've saved this one for last because it's happy not quite as droolingly romantic/depressing as the others. It's basically the opposite of the first one.
