Summary: Seventeen year old Buffy Summers is a High School Senior with a boyfriend and life is great, until she realizes one morning that, well, life changes fairly quickly, especially when you find out something you've been denying is real.
Author's Notes: ey kids. This story is just to satisfy my own personal kink (well, okay not just my personal kink), and its really all Addie’s fault. So if it sucks, blame her, she sent me the rabid plot bunny. So, without much further ado, here’s my contribution to the wealth of all-human Spike and Buffy stories. The title and quote are from The Gilmore Girls. The characters belong to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy and all those other huge corporations that have a piece of the Buffy empire, me, I own nothing but the plot. . . and the kink.
This story is complete.

Second. Walking after midnight ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: Onward and upward. Sorry if the subject matter bothers some of you, but I did state in the first chapter that it was about a kink. The quote is from a Patsy Cline song, (and I love Patsy, so you should go listen). Oh yeah, the poem? Its mine. I wrote it. Disclaimers in full force and effect.

Third. I'm pregnant. Can you plass the turnips? ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: his is such a departure from Origins, but I’m enjoying it. If the subject matter, a teacher/student relationship bothers anyone, I suggest you stop reading now, because this is what this story is about. The quote is from For Keeps, one of those Molly Rignwald movies that we all hated to love in the 1980's (hey, even Molly was embarrassed after a while), well those of us who were old enough to watch them. Disclaimers in full force and effect.

Fourth. Mistakes are often the portals of discovery ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: You guys will notice that I’m not using quotes and stuff in this, unlike Origins – well, this is for a couple of reasons – because Origins is so much, it’s a serious work and while this is far from a complete fluff ball, its not quite the same weight. Either way, they are two completely different stories and I’m treating them that way. If I find a quote that works easily, I’ll use it, otherwise, I’m gonna skip it. So this quote is from James Joyce. . . one of my favorite authors, and apparently someone else’s also. However, the disclaimers are always in full force and effect.

Fifth. Dangerous ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: The updates on this are going to be a bit different from Revelations, since that’s my primary focus. I’m writing these only as I get the urge, although I pretty much have the whole story in my head, its just finding the time and the strength to put it to paper. But I am working on it. Oh. . . I’m sure all of you know where the title for this one came from. . . . and if you don’t, shame on you. I just altered the lyrics just a tiny bit. Disclaimers in full force and effect.

Sixth. Through a mirror clear ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: This is supposed to be a fun one for me and all of a sudden it sort of got serious. I guess I don’t write fluff all that well. *shrugs*. Oh well, I’m not going to lose any sleep over it. I lose sleep over a whole lot of other stuff. I’m trying really hard to work on both stories but I have to say, this is harder than I expected. Last night it felt like my arm was gonna fall off, so I didn’t do anything. Aren’t you happy I already had this typed up and was just waiting for title? Okay, maybe not. The title is from Alfred Lord Tennyson’s The Lady of Shalott and the quotes are as attributed. Disclaimers in full force and effect.

Seventh. Some comfort here ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: Ever see two magnets? How they can’t help but be pulled together? This couple are just like that. Can’t keep them apart. So why fight it? Title is a line from one of Sarah McLachlan’s songs, see if you can figure out which one and the quotes are as attributed. Disclaimers still in full force and effect

Eighth. There’s two words to that bargain. ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: I never expected the response I’ve gotten to this story. And how can I explain to anyone what it means to have that response? I never expected to write an all-human Spuffy fic, despite my liking some of the genre, but you can all blame Addie completely for this one. Its all her fault. She sort of pushed me into it after we had been discussing things and well, the result of that little confab is this story. These next couple of chapters are all for her. The title is from Jonathan Swift (Polite Conversation, dialogue iii, and the quotes are as attributed. The disclaimers are in full force and effect. I own nothing, but oh boy if I did. . . there’d be little statues to certain persons scattered all around.

Ninth. The map of honor ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: The whole bloody thing got serious. Oh well. I suppose in a way its serious stuff. Anyway, I’m just gonna keep telling the story like I planned, and hopefully you guys will still be with me. Title is from the Bard, (in thy face I see, the map of honor, truth and loyalty) from Henry VI, Part II, act iii, scene i and the quotes are as attributed and the disclaimers, as always prove that nothing about these characters except the things I put them through are mine.

Tenth. Conversations kill ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: I’m not making Riley Finn the bad guy because I need one, I’m making him the bad guy because he is one. Xander on the other hand, Xander. . . could have gone either way, at any point in the show. He could have been a lot of things (and a contender wasn’t one of them), because his character wasn’t always a bigot. He’s going to have his moments, though, but not nearly as bad as I could’ve made him. Title is from Stone Temple Pilots’ song Big Empty and the quotes are as attributed. Disclaimers in full force and effect.

Eleventh. Talk to me while I'm listening ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: You know, sometimes the characters sort of take over a story and despite the writer’s intentions about plot and timing and, well, everything, the characters dictate what happens. This is sort of what’s going on here. The title is from a song by Irish artist Frances Black (who is part of the Black Family and the younger sister of the more famous Mary – they pretty much sing traditional Irish music) and although the song is more about a love that’s dying, I thought the song title fit this chapter best. Its from her album of the same name and quotes as attributed and disclaimers in full force and effect.

Thirteenth. Sugar taste ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: This is not going to be an epic, not like Origins is, but it isn’t quite near being done yet. Our favorite twosome has a bit more road to travel before the course of true love runs smoothly. . . but rest assured, in the end it will (travel smoothly that is), coz, hey, its all about the spuffy. . . *laughs*. Anyway, the title is from the song Got me wrong by Alice in Chains (oh yeah them again) from the album Sap and the quotes are as attributed. Disclaimers, as always, are in full force and effect.
Added: 11-11-06
Fourteenth. Crash ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: itle is from the Dave Matthews band (Crash Into Me) sort of and you’ll see why I used this particular song. . . and the quotes are as attributed. Disclaimers, as always, are in full force and effect.

Fifteenth. Hands of fate ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: I’m having so much fun writing this story. I just. . . Well, what started out as sort of PWP morphed quickly into something else. I’m still gonna have to write one of those, since I promised a couple of people I would, but I refuse to have more than two stories going at a time. I just can’t possibly do it. My hat’s off completely to those writers who seem to be able to do it effortlessly (okay, maybe not effortlessly – but at least easier than I can) and manage to keep all the plot lines from getting hopelessly entangled. I’m ever so jealous. Anyway. . . . without further ado, and mindless babble from yours truly, here’s the next chapter of this one. Title is from Depeche Mode (one of my all time favorite bands) from the album Music for the Masses (the song is Behind the Wheel)and the quote is just the song lyrics, so they belong to the boys, not me. But they kind of sum up how Will thinks of Buffy, at least some times. *grins* Disclaimers are in full force and effect.

Sixteenth. Mama may have... ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: I swear, this is not going to be an epic, not anything nearly like Origins has become. Hopefully, I’ll be able to move this along faster and you know, get to the end before it morphs into something else entirely. On that note, the chapters are getting longer and longer. . . didya notice? Anyway, the title is from a Billie Holliday song (God bless the child) and the quotes are as attributed. Disclaimers, as always and forever more, prove that Joss owns it all.

Seventeenth. All I want for Christmas is you ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: I’m working on getting this finished and really, it won’t be much longer, because I have this other story that’s been nibbling at the edges of my consciousness for a while and like now would be a good time to start it. So on that note, here’s the next chapter. Title is from one of the quotes (bleah, it’s a Mariah Carey song but if fit) and the quotes are as attributed. Disclaimers, like before, prove that I own nothing at all.

Eighteenth. I'll have a blue Christmas without you. ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: Okay, so this is gonna start moving a bit forward, I hope. . . . no, seriously, I didn’t work on this one for a couple of weeks, and now I’m scrambling to catch up with my plot lines. Anyway, here it is. I hope you all enjoy it. Title is from a song by that guy with the swivelly hips and the quotes are as attributed. Disclaimers, as always, prove that the only thing that belongs to me is the plot. Everything else belongs to the creator.

Nineteenth. A storm is swelling. ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: When I was in high school (oh, about a 100 years ago), one of the girls in my class was dating one of the shop teachers, it was an open secret, everyone knew about it but no one said anything. The summer we graduated, they got married, he put her through college and their kids were born after she finished school and started teaching. They’ve been together ever since (so like they just celebrated their 75th anniversary), which just goes to prove that if you really love someone, age doesn’t matter. . . Title and quote are from 10,000 Maniacs (album In my Tribe, 1989). Disclaimers, as always, are in full force and effect.

Twentieth. Baby please come home ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: Nothing worth really having comes easily. The path to true love is rarely paved with rose petals . . . The sweetest moments are always tempered with sorrows, at least for our two lovebirds. Out of the darkness comes light. So it is with our lovers. Title is from a song written by Darlene Love (from Lethal Weapon for you gen-xer’s) and Phil Spector although the version I heard in my head was recorded by that Irish band and the quotes are as attributed. Disclaimers are in full force and effect and they just mean that I can’t force Joss to write the script that I’m dying to see.

Twenty-first. She's a little runaway ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: This is not a happy part of this story. There’s all the warning you’re going to get. Title is from a song by Bon Jovi (and no, the lyrics don’t apply to this story at all – and the only reason why is because of the chorus line) and the quotes are as attributed. Disclaimers mean that Spike and Buffy and everyone else all belong to Joss – I get the credit or the blame for the plot.

Twenty-second. Hell is living without you ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: So like my muse is pushing me to get working on this, and, hey, who am I to refuse the muse (ack, bad rhyming scheme – very bad). Anyway. . . so this is gonna move forward again. . . and aren’t you guys all the lucky ones. Title is from an Alice Cooper song (thank you Bran!) and the quote is from the same. Disclaimers are in full force and effect.

Twenty-third. Madness in love ~ Reviews (1)
Author's Notes: his has been such a struggle for me lately, every little thing about writing – its been about a month since I hurt my arm again, and even though I’ve tried churning out chapters of Revelations and this, I’m still posting stuff that was written a while ago. But all that is gonna change soon, because its not fair to you, the readers to make you wait so long. . . so I’m gonna push myself. Title is from one of the quotes, which are as attributed. Disclaimers are in full force and effect.

Twenty-seventh. Someone you can't live without ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: Pain is a funny thing. . . . when you’re in pain, its like the only thing you can focus on, and sometimes no amount of bribery or cajoling will make the muse respond. . . . or so I’ve found. My sympathies to everyone out there suffering from any sort of chronic pain, and my prayers that the pain goes away. These last couple of chapters have been like pulling teeth. My apologies for taking so long in getting them out. The songs are a mix of three different ones from Depeche Mode –Leave in Silence, World in My Eyes and In Your Room (and yes, the mix does work – it all depends on which version of the songs you have). Title is from and the quotes are as attributed. Disclaimers, as always, are in full force and effect. I own nothing.

Thirty-fifth. Beginning all. ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: This is it, folks, the end of this little story – there will be an epilogue, and perhaps a few drabbles/ficlets maybe, depending on the muse, in the future. I hope you’ve all enjoyed reading, because I’ve enjoyed telling this story. Never fear, though, because I’ve got another story coming soon, and I hope that will catch people’s interest as well. Thank you all so much for the support and love you’ve given me throughout this journey. The song by Dido was actually the partial inspiration for this story. Title and quotes are as attributed and the disclaimers mean that Joss and ME own the characters. I own the plot. That’s it. Enjoy

Ever After ~ Reviews (2)
Author's Notes: This is the epilogue. . . . I’m so sad to see this one go, you guys have no idea. I loved the story and the characters and what started out as something that was supposed to be relatively simple and angst-free turned into a real love story. My thanks to all of you that have stuck with me through this, sending encouragement and good wishes along the way. You are all my inspiration. Thank you again, all of you. The quotes are as attributed. The disclaimers are in full force and effect. P.S. Just so you know, I’ve got another story that I’ve been working on, and as soon as I get a bit more finished, I’ll start posting that. Slainte, Niamh
