Begins in Chosen then time jumps forward 20 years. Buffy has settled down into her normal life, when Spike unexpectedly shows up.
Chapter One
Spike held out the amulet in front of him, lit dangled from its chain.
"Angel said the amulet was meant to be worn by a champion" Buffy's voice echoed in his head
'Champion'
He couldn't believe his ears, the last few days had been the best of his life. He felt so connected to her, but he knew that with the upcoming battle it might not last. He might not be here this time tomorrow or she might not be. He didn't know which was worse.
His thoughts were broken when he heard footsteps coming down the basement stairs. Spike stands up off the cot as she reached the bottom step.
"Hey" she smiled "Nice necklace"
Spike looked at the amulet in his hand "I know right… this crazy chit gave me"
"Ooo is she cute?" asked Buffy approaching him
"Nah…"
Buffy frowned a little
"She's beautiful, she's strong" he smiled
Buffy blushed "She sounds great"
"She is, she doesn't know it of course" he laughed
Buffy moved closer to him.
"You're in love with her?" She asked
"Until the end of the world" he told her
Buffy smiled. They stood for a moment just looking at each other before Buffy leaned in and kissed him gently, Spike was taken aback.
"Buffy…" he said softly
"Shhh" she said kissing him again.
"Buffy" Spike begged in between kisses, before eventually pulling away.
"What?" She asked "I know what you're thinking"
"You do?" He asked surprised
"You're thinking I'm only doing this for comfort?" She shrugged
"Well… yeah" he said uncertainly
Buffy sighed "Yes, I want to be comforted. But it's not the same as before, we're not the same as before. This might be our last night together, tomorrow I could be dead"
"No you won't" said Spike
"So what if I want to spend the night with you? I'm sick of skirting around the issue. I want there to be an us, and if that means it's only for tonight then so be it. I can't go out there tomorrow with regrets" said Buffy
"You're serious?" He asked
"Spike…" she said her voice barely above a whisper "Make love to me"
"Buffy.. I-" he started
"Please" she said softly
He looked into her eyes. She meant it; he realized she was just as scared as he was. He took her in his arms and kissed her gently.
She wrapped her arms around him and he picked her up off the floor and gently placed her on the cot. He leaned over her and she tugged at his shirt, slipping it up and over his head. She touched his face and brought him down to meet her lips once again.
The next few minutes were spent pulling at clothing whilst the desperation of the kisses intensified. He looked at her adoringly as she slipped down her jeans. Their lips met once more. He kissed down her body and over her breasts taking one nipple into his mouth and sucking softly making Buffy moan.
She flipped him onto his back and kissed him. She guided his shaft to her entrance and plunged down on it. Making Spike growl, she smiled as she moved her body up and down.
"I missed you" he whispered
"I missed you too" she smiled
As much as he loved looking up at her riding him, he wanted to make love to her. He rolled her on to her back and slipped himself back inside her, she groaned with pleasure.
"Spike…" she said breathlessly
"I love you" he told her
"I… I'm gunna…" she said shaking from her orgasm
Seeing her cum made him explode inside her. After a few seconds he rolled off of her and they lay side by side. She grabbed his hand and held on to it.

Buffy looked around desperately as the last of the Slayers climbed up and out of the Hellmouth.
"Go on, then" he yelled at her
"No! No, you've done enough! You could still—"
"No, you've beaten them back. It's for me to do the cleanup" he told her
"Buffy, come on!" Faith called down frantically from the top of the stairs near the Seal.
Faith took one last desperate look at Buffy, then leapt up into the school above.
"Gotta move, lamb. I think it's fair to say, school's out for bloody summer" said Spike
"Spike!" Buffy begged him
"I mean it! I gotta do this" he put his hands out in protest
Buffy reached out and took Spike's hand in hers, their fingers entwined. They stared at each other for a moment before their hands burst into flame.
Buffy ignored the fire and held his gaze with her own. "I love you" she said softly with tears in her eyes
Spike looked at her, if his heart could beat it would've definitely broke his chest in that moment "No, you don't. But thanks for saying it" he said barely above a whisper
They shared one last look before the ground beneath their feet began to shake and chunks of rocks slam around them
"Now go!" He ordered her
Buffy let go of Spike's hand and ran up through the Seal

A lot had changed since Sunnydale. Buffy had been given the greatest gift from Spike, a normal life. In the months that followed, Buffy struggled to come to terms with the loss of Spike. She threw herself into setting up a new Watchers council & Slayer school.
After a few months, the fight in Buffy had disappeared. She went into a deep depression, which was only made worse by news of Spike's resurrection.
She remembered Andrew going to pick up a Slayer from LA and overheard some of the girls talking about another vampire with bleached blond hair being there. When she confronted Andrew, he spilled the beans. Buffy was so hurt that Spike didn't even contact her when he came back; she decided not to contact him either.
When news came that LA was under siege by Wolfram & Hart. She sent Faith in her place. She reported back the deaths of Wesley, Cordelia, Fred, and Gunn. When Buffy asked about Spike, Faith told her he was nowhere to be found.
A wave of sadness swept her. Once again, she had lost him. Her sadness overtook everything. But then she came along.
