I know, I know, I still have to finish the other FFs. Anyway, one of them is done, so there’s space for a new one, eh, eh!

Plus, sorry, the temptation was stronger than me and I couldn’t resist any longer!
Do you know what? The idea for this FF came to me just * two days * before my * last exam*... sometimes my inspiration can be very cruel!

Anyway, this is just a little sneak-preview, after that, forget it, because I won’t update it before September... I’m evil, I know! >:-D
It’s a work in progress in Italian, too, so I’ll try to update here and there at the same time...

Ok, now let’s stop talking and let’s start with my new madness:


BEFORE, NOW, FOREVER

Main pairings: Do you really need me to tell you? No, I think you already know!

Rating: PG 13

Disclaimer: I know all these characters belong to the evil Joss(&CO), I just borrow them to play a little and have some fun, eh, eh!


Thanks to . My wonderful Maribel, as always!!! ;)

Setting: Good Question. Uhmm, let’s call it Buffyverse, but it’s (almost) totally AU, because I turned everything upside down (you know me, I LOVE doing that!)


This is my first attempt to write a POV FF, so be good, because it’s kinda hard for me to do that...


Summary: I just tell you that Spike and Buffy are going to tell a story... do you want to listen to them?



PROLOGUE


Sunnydale, 2004

(Spike)

“Love, here’s the plan, I’ll go out, kill my dear demon buddies, maybe I’ll also spend a while at the Bronze with the scooby gang, and then I’ll return home and to your very comfortable arms, my sweet Big Bad!” Buffy whispers to me, nibbling at my ear to wake me up abruptly after the sunset, making me start.

And then she gave me an endless kiss. After all, she adores waking me up abruptly, ever since she was just a kid, but truth must be told, I really prefer the way she wakes me up * now *, of course!

I smile at her, pulling her towards me and kissing her back with the same passion, since by now I’m perfectly awake.

“Sure, my pet, what can I say? Try not to have too much fun at patrol and at the Bronze, because the real fun will be here waiting for you, and you know it!” I sneer maliciously, caressing her hair.
“Mm, I can’t wait then, but now I’ve gotta go, my sacred duty is waiting for me, bye honey!” she says, jumping off the bed and taking on her... no, wait... that’s it, she took * my * leather coat again, this is becoming a bad habit, but before I can say anything she has already left the room.

I hate whenever she leaves; yeah, I know it’s just a matter of a couple of hours, but it’s always such an enervating waiting... and I can’t even smoke a cigarette, because I hereby swore that I wouldn’t ever do that inside our house again, bloody hell!


Ah, my Buffy. I can say that I know her... since always, practically.
And I knew from the first moment I held her in my arms that I would never be able to let her go away from me, it was such an odd feeling, but after all, ‘odd’ could very well be my second name.

You know, I think I am the most atypical vampire in the whole world.
To begin with, I’ll tell you that I have two Sires, not only one, I’ll explain you later what a Sire is. Plus, I love the hunt, but I don’t need to kill my prey... most of the time, at least. I’m the Master Vampire of this town, but at the same time I protect it and I work with... a Watcher, nonetheless, I’ll explain to you later what a Watcher is, too, ok?


About Buffy…

Uhmm, okay. Maybe I should better start by telling you every single thing that has happened from the beginning, but due to the fact that this is a tale that I already know I have the patience to tell in detail just once... you know what? We will record it, so you can listen to it whenever you please.

The cassette is inside the recorder, I let the tape go on a little, just enough time for it to make a complete loop, then I’m gonna press ‘REC’ and let’s go: ‘This is the story of Spike and Buffy…’


*************************************** (In the meantime)

(Buffy)

Well, I have my sword, my crossbow, enough arrows and some stakes also, because I know that there’s a kind of vampire... and another kind!

Uh! What was that noise? That’s it, I knew it, he told me he would and now I’m sure he is going to do it for real.

After all, I know him too well, he always keeps his promises; he has always done that.


Ah, my Spike. I don’t know what I would do without him. No, wait... without him, I don’t even know what my fate would have been.

Anyway, if my dear love thinks that I’ll leave all the limelight to him, he is soooo wrong. So, he’s going to tell you our story, isn’t he?

I haven’t even left the warehouse and he’s ready to start, almost as if he was waiting for nothing but that! You know what? I’ll let him talk to you for a while... mostly because I came into the picture later, very much later. Uhmm... on second thought... he doesn’t come into the picture immediately either!

Anyway, enjoy the moment, because no one can tell stories as well as he does, believe me, I know!

In the meantime, I’ll go patrol. Demons of Sunnydale begin trembling because the Slayer is coming after you!

Mm... it feels so good to be inside his leather coat, it smells so much like him so much…

I know, it’s very confusing (that was my evil purpose ihihihi), but I hope you’ll like it so far.
I know this part was shamefully short (after all, it was a prologue) and I apologize for that, but I can guarantee that future chapters will be longer! ;)
