Summary: Life can be difficult when you are fifteen years old with a baby and few options. Fortunately Buffy Summers is a resourceful girl. Spuffy. All human AU in Four Parts. It's a high school fic with actual high school coming up in Parts Two thru Four. This is a very long saga and will be completed. NOTE: The ratings and warnings I am giving for this story do not represent the entire story - they allow for occasional forays into difficult subjects, but most chapters do not dwell there. It's not a fluffy story, but it is not unrelentingly grim. Like life, it flows among the highs and lows. IMPORTANT: Although Parts One and Two are mostly R content, beginning in Part Three the story will move into more NC-17 territory. ‘The Song Remains the Same’ consists of Parts One and Two. When we move into Part Three it will start a new posted ‘story’ as Parts One and Two are quite long enough on their own. Winner of 'Judge's Pick' in Round 11 of Spuffy Awards and Winner of Best Fantasy Angst and Best Fantasy Author in Round 12 of the Spuffy Awards. Warnings: Adult Language, Buffy/Other (past), Rape (referenced), Sexual Situations, Spike/Other (past), Violence.

This fic needs to be finished. At least to Buffy getting Katie back and getting the heck away from those looney foster parents.

He is NEVER gonna learn is he? It's never his fault, somebody else always to blame.



Author's Response: Hi Asharah, thanks for taking the time to stop in and leave me a comment. And as for Xander, no, I don't think he will learn, but mainly because he CAN'T! If it's not his fault, then as far as he's concerned, there's nothing for him TO learn. We learn from mistakes made, right? But he doesn't think he's made any, so... what can he learn from those 'non-mistakes'? Anyway, thanks for your comments, and take care. X

Summary:

Spike picks up a few things at Ethan’s Costume Shop and is dragged by the collar into chaos. A Season 2 Halloween story.

What kind of dog? English mastifff? Golden retriever? Labradoodle? Pomeranian?



Author's Response: BarbC's suggested that Spike would have a bull terrier "spirit animal" if such things happened in Buffyverse fic. Here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_Terrier The older version, circa 1915, fits him, I think. As much as I love the idea of Pomeranian!Spike, I think Buffy's mythical 18th century father would breed something a bit more in the hunting/working dog range.

Xander better be nice to Spike, or Mama Joyce might kick him out.

I was hoping that as soon as Richard left, Buffy would shove Xander against the wall and threaten him with bodily harm if he EVER pulled a stunt like that on her again. He actually thought his setup was working out?



Author's Response: Lol. Believe me I wanted to put that in too but I had to stop myself. In saving that for the sequel, because (even though it's late) this was planned to be a spuffy fluffy Christmas fic. So I'm trying to save all the action for the sequel that involves at lot more plot.

Summary:

Post-Season 5, an alternate reality take on Season 6, but not so crazy-alternate that anyone's unrecognisable. Starts with strong Spike and Dawn friendship, and builds from there. Just lots of small tweaks that pack a punch - like the odd bit of honest communication amongst the Scoobies.

Be warned, Buffy is dead until Chapter 5, and the rating is mostly intended for later in the story.

This story is still being updated: expect new chapters every month-ish.

Runner Up for Best Angst in round 30 of the SunnyD Awards.

Well, to quote Dawn in another Season 6 fic, "Great. Come in, Angel. We don't have nearly enough stress here yet!"

Although I always did wonder why, if Willow was so bloody powerful she could raise the dead, she couldn't fix the stupid "perfect happiness" issue with Angel's curse.

Spot on. :)

I wonder what the relationship fallout will be for Spuffy? Hopefully Buffy will realize the amnesia just speeded things up between them.



Author's Response:

Next chapter.

You ought to know better than to think I'd make it that easy ;)

How does Tara have money? I've never seen her have a job and her family disowned her. Did her mom manage to squirrel away something for her that Tara's Dad didn't know about?

Willow I can understand having money, since I'm assuming her parents are still supporting her while she's in school.



Author's Response:

She's at university, she has to have some money... Grants, scholarships, loans, etc.

And she hasn't paid any rent or other living costs besides food for 5 months, but has presumably still been getting loan etc money.

I imagine there may also have been some kind of disability payout while she was crazy, plus I don't imagine she was spending much of her own money then.

So Willow finally got called out on all her crap. Excellant!

Willow is some piece of work. She causes all the damage and then tries to get "best-friend time" out of it.

You know, I can't recall the fact that Buffy should have been getting support money from her father for Dawn being ever addressed. One of the little details somebody should have thought of long ago.



Author's Response:

I've seen it addressed a few times - usually, though, it's addressed as something she should have but doesn't.

Xander, you desperately need to be hit by a clue-by-four. Whether Willow intends to do harm is not the point, she IS causing harm.



Author's Response:

Xander doesn't know what's been happening, poor thing. He only knows about what happened the night they resurrected Buffy, and the memory spell from just now. Why would those two things be enough to make him distrust Willow?

Willow dear, the point is, you have NOT been handling the bills "just fine for month." If you had been, Buffy wouldn't have such a big mess to sort out.



Author's Response:

Indeed!

Buffy, the guy attacked Giles, tried to set fire to your house and Tara is lucky to be alive after getting the front door thrown at her. Not to mention all the other people he killed. Who cares if he was human? So was Jeffrey Dahmer.



Author's Response:

Season 6 Buffy is clinically depressed and is fairly heavily absorbed by self-hatred and guilt. She has also been trained to think demons = evil, humans = good. This whole part of her journey is making peace with the fact that she kills sentient beings - something the Council always tried to protect her from; and that she is *allowed* to have feelings for a vampire. She will not always think like this, but it is how she is thinking in this moment.

THAT DEFINATLY WAS NOT WHAT WILLOW PLANNED TO HAPPEN!

Giles, I realize finding a therapist for somebody with Buffy's issues, who's not gonna yell for the guys in the white coats when she starts talking about vampires and being raised from the dead, is not gonna be easy. But you need to do something. I would hope the Watcher's Council has somebody with a psychology degree who can deal with depressed or traumatized Slayers. Buffy can't be the first Slayer with problems like this.

By the way Giles, if you are going to continue to live in Buffy's house, shouldn't you be paying rent too?



Author's Response:

Thakn you for being invested. :)

Reviewer: Asharah Signed
Date: 09/03/2014 Title: Chapter 37: Chapter 37

I think poor Tara definately needs a break from everyone. Maybe Giles can send her to England to spend some time with the Coven so she can get away from all this mess.

I think Xander & Anya definately need some couples therapy. Maybe she should have gotten a hint when he kept putting off announcing the engagement.



Author's Response:

Xander and Anya have split up... bit late for therapy :)

Summary: Another spell goes wrong when Willow tries to make Buffy forget the time she was engaged to Spike, instead bringing back a memory that she was never supposed to have.

What, no second chapter of Scoobies fweakin' out?

Summary: Written for a friend who needed cheering up, this is a sequel to "Double Bubble Toil and....." Spike and Buffy are struggling to figure out where they stand with each other after the non-canon events of Double Bubble, Willow is worrying Giles with her lack of understanding about how dangerous her actions were before he drained her magic, and Riley has had less interaction with Buffy and therefore is more willing to believe she may be a demon of some sort.

Well, at least she now knows she can't trust Riley.

Maybe Giles can call 911 and report that there is a deranged man claiming  to be an undercover federal agent invading his house. The cops in Sunnydale are dumb enough to believe it.



Author's Response: LOL Not a bad idea. But I suspect Riley is better armed than Sunnydale cops. :)

If there was ever a good use for Willow's witchcraft, it would be to turn Riley, Maggie and the rest of the Initiative into a bunch of toads.



Author's Response: LOL Great minds think alike.... I'm planning for Willow to be able to redeem herself somehow.
