Wishing she could have done some things differently with Spike, Buffy asks for and is given a second chance. In truth, it's a second chance for Spike. She leaps from 2004 (post-"Not Fade Away") to 2001 ("The Gift"). With no time to prepare and 2 hours on the clock, does she give him enough info to change things? [ 2017: edited Ch 13-18; new chapters from Ch 19 ] [ 2019: ON HIATUS ]

Warnings and Full Summary inside.

Spuffy. Post-Chosen turns into S4 AU. After dying a Champion, Spike got into heaven. The Powers That Be, unhappy with the slayer army idea, give Spike a choice: stay in heaven but The Master kills Buffy at 16, or be sent back to 1999 to keep Buffy from dying/being revived a 2nd time, thus preventing The First Evil from taking hold. What else can Spike make better this go-around?

"I have something for you," he says. She laughs. "Didn't you already get me what I wanted as a kid? Years ago?" "Yes." He returns from the back of the trailer. "This is something else, though." (A tag to Black Helicopters (6x13) which then becomes an AU going through Violets (6x16) and a little beyond. Jane finally (sort of) does things right.)
