Past Featured StoryPerfect Clarity by VeroNyxK84 [R] Likes: 448 Comments: 324
Summary:

Challenge response. 
Prompt: How would things go for Buffy and Spike if their conversation / Spike’s speech in "Touched" + Buffy’s profession of love in "Chosen" had happened earlier? Give Spike and Buffy a happily ever after that doesn’t end in a flamey death. 

Set in early S7 and canon through episode 7x05 "Selfless," which is where this story picks up. It then steers into a different direction, turning into a complete rewrite of S7, though some lines and plot elements will be borrowed from random canon S7 episodes and thrown into the mix.

Out Of The Past by Schehrezade [R] Likes: 18 Comments: 4
Summary: A time travel fic with a twist. What if you realised that a Champion for the PTBs might actually cause more bad than good without really intending to do so? A group of desperate people make a last ditch attempt to save themselves, save lost loved ones and save the world by going back in time and taking drastic action. The needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few. The title of this fic is ripped off from one of my all time favourite Film Noir films.

Summary: Set in the year 3002. Spike and Buffy are still together. The world's changed just a little bit. Buffy's POV. (And yes, it's a lot AU.)
Disclaimer: I own nothing. All belongs to Joss and UPN.
Dedication: For my Aunt Steph who loves vampire stories.
Spoilers: Through Season 6.
This fic was finished in November 2002 before the show explored how Slayers were created, so keep that in mind, too.
A long time ago, this fic won a few different angst awards from different award sites, but I can’t recall where…lol. So be prepared for that as well.

Gorgeous banner by the talented eyesthatslay...thank you so much!
