Summary
Angel’s face was moving down, backlit and unrecognizable, but coming closer, closer, closer until Buffy knew what he wanted. “Forever,” he said.
She surged forward at the promise and met his kiss with equal fervor, greedily cupping his jaw.
“That’s the whole point.” Spike’s cool fingertips danced beneath the hem of her shirt and dragged up her spine. “Couldn’t stay away if I tried.”
Buffy blinked the sunlight from her gaze, gripping Spike’s shoulders to steady herself. Even on the beach, he wore his big leather coat.
Who had she just kissed?
OR:
Having Dawn around as flesh and blood instead of smoke and mirrors changed things. Now, Buffy faces her senior year with a softer Spike and a fresher Faith.

Summary
Will the Wise turns to Mike the Brave, rolls over, settling on his side where he can gaze at his friend unimpeded, and finds him already looking back once more. Mike the Brave’s lips curl, sharing with him a secret smile that turns back the clock by several hours, transforming night into day.
For a moment, they say nothing.
Then Will the Wise opens his mouth, and Will Byers’ voice comes out. “It was a seven,” he says.
Mike’s smile droops. “What?”
“The roll,” Will says. “It was a seven. The Demogorgon… It got me.”
Mike’s dark eyes go wide with concern for a second. But just as quickly as Will had felt it was earthshatteringly important that he confess, he feels inexplicably silly for breaking their special silence.
He flops onto his back again, tracing the patterns of the quilt above them with his eyes.
“Goodnight,” he says.
Will Byers is twelve years old, and unlike Dustin and Lucas, he has never died. But he will soon. And that’ll have to be okay.

Summary
Drusilla hated Miss Edith and the burning guppies that had swum circles around her sweet William’s head for lying to her, and the birdie for nesting in little Spike’s chest. He was empty now. The bird’s greedy beak had gobbled up all the best bits of Dru’s boy and left her with nothing but a shell that hated her right back. And she hated him for that, too.
He wasn’t supposed to hate her. That wasn’t what he had been made for. Her boy had been made for love. It was all he’d ever been good for, and that much had been true long before Drusilla drank him down and made him new. But now he wouldn’t even do that right. He only pretended.
She hated his pretending most of all.
OR:
A snapshot of the summer after Angel gets sent to hell.

Summary
“Angelus.”
His grandsire grinned at him from the doorway. “Spike.” He said, sounding for all the world like he was pleasantly surprised.
He was hauling around a sweet-smelling bundle of youth– a fresh-faced little girl whose thundering blood reeked of the unripened energy Angelus had always been fondest of before he’d been saddled with a soul. She was shivering with fear, fumigating the room with it. Her big blue eyes darted between her captor and the beast before her.Laughter burbled up out of Spike’s throat. Disbelief. After a century of being a great, big, useless sod… “I'll be damned.”
OR:
The Monks caught wind of the fact that Glory had gotten strong enough to start physically manifesting in Ben's body, so they performed the ritual a few years early.

Summary
“Spike?”
An unfamiliar voice trickled into his awareness. It was dark when he set his bleary gaze upon a redheaded woman to his left. She was staring at him with shiny green eyes, fear and disbelief written on her every feature. He could do little more than stare uncomprehendingly.
“Spike?” She repeated. It suddenly occurred to him that ‘Spike’ might be his name. “Are you… what was that?”
“I…” Spike’s throat was dry; his voice crackled like a rusted radio. He tried again. “I don’t know.”
OR
The Initiative's chip doesn't work exactly as planned, and Buffy makes the best of a bad situation.

Summary
“Mr. Hollander.” Ilya swallows. “Is a pleasure to meet you, sir.” Pleasure is an understatement, but he can’t parse through English definitions fast enough to find a better word.
“Congratulations.” Mr. Hollander holds up his glass and nods towards Ilya. “No one deserves it more than you, kid. Your work ethic…” Mr. Hollander shakes his head, eyebrows raised, and lets out a low whistle. “You’re hungry. It’s impressive.”Ilya Rozanov is the best damn rookie the NHL has ever seen. Shane Hollander, captain of the Metros and three-time Stanley Cup winner with over 700 career goals (not that Ilya is counting, thank you very much), just wants to help him celebrate.

Summary
And suddenly, filling his entire screen, Rozanov was grinning into the camera with a row of bloody teeth. His lip was split. When he wiped his mouth with the back of his bare hand, it came away streaked with red. He spat the rest onto the ice with an awful smile and a wink before getting to his feet.
Jane: Can you stay in the dressing room?
Lily: Are you asking or telling?
Jane: You hate being told what to do.
Lily: Not when it's you
Jane: Stay.
Jane: You looked really fucking good taking that hit.

Summary
“You like it, right?” Shane whispered against his lips.
“Hm?” Ilya tried hard to focus on Shane’s words but Shane felt too good, the pressure of his ass on Ilya’s crotch too maddeningly distracting.
Shane leaned in so that his mouth was now right on Ilya’s ear, stilling his movements. “I said,” he breathed hotly, “you like it? Being my dog?”
And this was new. The words sent an electric shock down Ilya’s spine, making him involuntarily thrust up into Shane. Ilya swallowed, closing his eyes and nodding furiously, as Shane nibbled on his ear lobe and sucked sweetly at the skin there.
“Speak,” Shane said simply, the same tone he used when talking to Chiron or Anya. When talking to dogs.
“Fuck,” Ilya choked out. “Yes, da, yes, I like being your dog.”
or, Ilya discovers a new kink about himself.

Summary
“Mike, you're not in love with me.”
The look he gets back is somewhere between frustrated and sad, and Will holds out a hand before Mike can protest further. “No, Mike, trust me. It isn’t love, it’s jealousy."
“That’s the same—”
“Not romantically. You're just, you're jealous that I have someone else in my life. You're jealous that I'm not pining over you anymore, you're jealous that there is someone out there who can compete with you for how much I care about him.” Because this is true. It is obvious. And Will is right and that will be have to be enough. “And it's sweet. I'm — It makes me happy, to know you care that much, that you want me in your life so badly.
"But you don't love me, Mike. You just don't."

Mike visits Will in college with a confession. It isn't taken very well.
