RATING: NC-17
FANDOMS: BtVS/AtS (AU. In a big way.)
PAIRING: Buffy/Angel, Darla/Angel, Gunn/Wesley
SUMMARY: Hard ass homicide detective Angel Chase has just been assigned a new partner. But brand-new detective Buffy Summers is going to do more for Angel than watch his back . . .
DISCLAIMER: Joss & friends created Buffy; myhappyface created the copverse (read her outline here and her first chapter here); I just filled in some blanks.
AUTHOR’S NOTES: Millions upon millions of thanks to kita0610, my personal role model, for the beta. But mostly: super, super, happy birthday to Holly, the vampire with a soul to my snarky, Milano-shod Vision Girl. Baby, I love you like Rahm Emanual loves being a pimp.

TITLE: Ghosts
RATING: R
FANDOMS: BtVS/AtS
PAIRING: Buffy/Angel
SPOILERS: Post “NFA.” There are some aspects of the S8 comics—namely, location—but this story contains none of the comics’ original characters or plotlines. The sequel to If You Drive Me Back, though it isn’t really a prerequisite.
SUMMARY: I married my lieutenant.
AUTHOR’S NOTES: For ba4ever, who requested post-NFA with dom Buffy, and for clevermonikerr, for her love of the first one. And it must be said: my beta reader, myhappyface, really went to the mat for me on this one, and I am endlessly, wordlessly grateful. Every little thing she does is magic.

RATING: R
PAIRING: Buffy/Angel
SPOILERS/TIMELINE: Post-“Ted”

TITLE: Gods and Monsters
RATING: NC-17
SUMMARY: A really weird morning after leads Buffy into a world where her wildest dreams can come true, until - as usual - it turns out that things are not always as they seem.
SPOILERS: Post “Chosen” and “Not Fade Away.”
DISCLAIMER: Everyone knows what Joss Whedon owns, and that I’m not him. However, I should also mention that some parts of this story owe something to the very brilliant and often under-appreciated Neil Gaiman and his wonderful book American Gods. My story, “Gods and Monsters,” is not any manner of fanfiction for Neil’s story, nor does it borrow from the plot; however it is, on (brief) occasion - I realized this about twenty pages in - a tiny bit derivative, and for this I owe credit. Additionally, I feel I would be remiss if I didn’t encourage you to read this novel immediately if you have not already done so; it is so good it makes me ache. My model for Dawn’s school was L'Università Tor Vergata in Rome. If you want to know whom the (very ill-defined, with great liberties taken very often) models for the gods are, there is another author’s note at the conclusion of the story. Also (I do go on, don't I) thanks to Dave for betaing this monster, and putting up with me. You're a champ, hon.
