seasonal spuffy

This fic is a sequel to Show Me Something Blue.  ((R) Set during the episode Something Blue. Buffy comes to her senses before she trashes those drool-worthy lips of Spike!)  I know it is somewhat a disadvantage to those who haven’t read the fic, but if it helps, it’s not very long.  The main gist is that Buffy continues the engagement so as to not draw attention to the fact she is powerless against magical attack. I would like to think this fic can be read in isolation, but I can be quite oblivious to some things so if it can’t, someone please tell me!

Summary:  Set at the beginnings of season five but will branch off-canon.  Spike is in LA and about to return to Buffy when he runs into some trouble.  A new threat to the Slayer appears, bringing his own brand of blackmail and magic that will tear all their lives apart.

Rating:  NC-17 though perhaps not for the Spuffy relationship.  There will be other pairings in this fic—or at least one other.  Some will view this as a non-con situation, though I repeat, not between Buffy and Spike.

Beta:  The extra fabulous Hollydb.  I’m forever grateful for your time and patience, particularly now with how busy you are.  Thank you, Holly.

Disclaimer:  I do not own rights to BtVS or Angel the series, though I use them for much pleasure.  Please, joss, if you want to borrow my original character, just ask.  ~_*

Lastly, many people requested a sequel to SMSB.  I just hope you knew what you were asking for!  This is much plottier than the original fic and I foresee it as being reasonably long.  I will hopefully have 8 chapters to post today—unless I manage a 9^th by the end of my time.
