Wasted and Wounded by Always_jbj 2 Reviews
Buffy and Angel friendship with VERY Spuffy undertones. Post Chosen Buffy and Angel talk about Spike's death. I'm working on the assumption that the events of S5 of AtS will unfold a little differently in light of this! (lol... I am allowed to dream... right!?)

New Beginnings by Always_jbj 23 Reviews
In response to Redwulf50's challenge on his LJ..... What if the Immortal was only interested in Buffy because Angel was having her watched, and what if a few nights after 'The Girl in Question' he dumped Buffy and laughed at her as he told her the reason he had dated her. Tell us this story. I have since added a second 'part' as a birthday gift for a friend.

To Live Again by Always_jbj 17 Reviews
This is the sequel to 'Axis of Love'. Either fic could be read as a stand alone, although this one would probably make more sense if you have read 'Axis' first. This is set approximately 125 years after the beginning of 'Axis'.This fic contains biting and bloodplay... but NOT Spuffy bitey. Please note this fic is not Spuffy (for obvious reasons) It is Spike/Other and will stay Spike/Other so please don't read it if this bothers you. It does, however, have a very Spuffy feel to it.

Captive Pleasures by Always_jbj 6 Reviews
Written as a follow up to a challenge response called 'Touch for your lust' by Crackers4Jenn posted on the Bloodshedverse. Jenn has since gone on to complete the fic herself. This fic starts where hers originally ended at the end of her first chapter. This is my first pwp. Original Challenge was: Between seasons four and five Buffy goes to spike for help patrolling, she walks in on him masturbating and freezes up, as she stares he turns towards her and she sees his manly bits. Write a PWP from there. Jenn altered the challenge slightly and had hers set instead in the bathroom of Giles' house. Thanks to Mefiant for the read through.

Buffy isn't feeling well... is it somehow Spike's fault? A porn-with-a-fair chunk of plot. lol. In an attempt to combat a severe case of writer’s block the lovely Mefiant set me a challenge to write a short fic… well as is typical, the muse who would not previously be tempted, cajoled, bribed or threatened into working decided he liked this challenge… so my short fic became a rather long (16 page) short fic. Lol. Details of the challenge posted at the end so as not to spoil any surprises. Thanks to my wonderful beta Amy B for her work on this, her encouragement and her infinite patience.
