Rating: NC-17
Summary: When Buffy finds out Spike's alive, she shows up in Los Angeles to demand answers, only to find herself immediately immersed in a web of deceit and betrayal. Who to trust becomes the million dollar question, and her life turns into a race to solve it. Before it's too late for everyone.
Author's Notes:
This will be a multi-pairing fic, though its primary focus is going to be Spuffy. Other pairings are going to be Wes/Faith and Lindsey/OC, and the plan is that there will be smut for the other couples as well as Spike and Buffy. This is set immediately after the AtS S5 episode, "Damage," but will veer from canon at that point. You'll very quickly see how. :)

Author's Notes:
An announcement first. I'm about to enter the month from hell. This time next week, I'll be on a family vacation, 2 weeks from today, I'll be at Creation Con, and then a week and a half after that, I fly to Texas for a writer's convention. Because of all my traveling this month as well as other deadlines that I have, I can't guarantee that I'm going to be able to update every Sunday. I'm going to try. But there is no telling whether or not I'm going to have connectivity on Sundays. All I ask is for your patience in case I can't update regularly over the next month. May will be better. :)
PREVIOUSLY ON BUFFY: Gemma went to go see Lindsey, only to be caught by Spike, Buffy had a visit with Dana that left her unsettled, and Angel asked Wes for his help in finding the link between Dana and Cordelia in order to save both women…

Chapter 23: I'll Break Before I Bend ~ Reviews (0)
Author's Notes: So...I joined that community, ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small}
wip_out, in order to have the deadlines to finish "A Soul to Seduce." And I re-read it again, and watching BtVS again is making me want to write, and...today's the due date. And...I wrote another chapter.
It's rough, and transitional, and man it is going to take me awhile to find the flow again. I hope the fact that next chapter is about more intimate scenes and not plot will help with that. I'm sure nobody even remembers what was going on, but I'm going to finish this story one way or another. So I'm posting this anyway because it's the only way I'll continue.
