Summary
Part 2 of "Something Wicked" series
(S5, beginning with "Buffy vs Dracula")Spuffy have been together for a while now. Things have been great. The Scoobies have more or less accepted the reality of their couplehood, Spike finally has his own place, so there’s plenty of thoroughly excellent shag-time, and college is kind of fun when you have a worldly, undead tutor to poke fun at your instructors and help you remember your lessons with fascinating anecdotes or, when that fails, incredibly memorable sexy-times. Life is actually, like, bordering on good.
But then Mr. Eurovamp 2000 blows into town and causes a bunch of jealousy. And then Buffy starts having a bunch of crappy Slayer dreams about glowy purply stuff. And Dawn is going off the hook even more than usual, and Mom is acting weird… And, as if there’s not enough to deal with, Buffy’s pretty sure that idiot Riley Finn is still lurking around town trying to come up with a reason to shoot her boyfriend…
Buffy should have known things couldn’t stay yummy for long. She probably would have started to worry if it had.

“A Sorcerous Bargain”
Pt. 1Rupert Giles was done with everything. This scene, his family, duty, the Council... all of it. He had begun to think nothing at all would ever stir him or catch his interest again.
That was, until he met Ethan Rayne and his friends.
(This tale is a companion-piece to my much longer Spuffy series, “Souls In Bondage” and “Something Wicked”; sort of a prequel, though it is wildly unnecessary to have read either to enjoy this fic. If 'enjoy' is even the right word.)

Summary
Part 4 of "Souls In Bondage" series
The Scourge are done for. The baby Slayers are back on track, nicely settled under Xander and Willow’s careful tutelage. Dawn is right-sized. Things with Giles are… steady-ish. And Buffy and Spike have found a nice safe haven away from it all where they can just be. Dial in case of Apocalypse. Sort out the gray areas on their own time and terms. Maybe redefine the whole relationship between demons and humanity, and vamps and humans… and of course Slayers and vamps. You know; given enough time and… social intercourse.Anyway, that was the theory. Then the whole thing started with the military, and Amy. And then Willow and Xander decide to show up on their doorstep. And there was that thing with Faith and Giles, and… Jeez. Hellmouths weren’t the only things that keep rumbling.
Well, at least they’d closed the book on Angel, right?

Summary
The universe had a few things go wrong in it.
So an order was put in for a second go, by the Powers.When a Slayer took down her first Master, in LA,
when Whistler was sent in to point a vampire with a soul at a girl who had no clue what he was up to,
things slid a little sideways, onto a slightly different track.What is 'normal', really?
Who is prophesied?
And what happens if you give the ingredients a stir before you send your dish back to the kitchen and ask for a new version of the same meal? -

Summary
What the hell were the ex-Cordettes thinking, inviting the surviving 1999 Razorbacks to a freaking High School Reunion?!Were there even enough surviving students to have a reunion?
More importantly, could Buffy go to such a thing and have it not be a disaster? For one, she'd have to convince them all she was in a long-term relationship without Spike there, which, yeah, right. Like they were going to believe that. (She'd ask Spike for a lot, but going to something like this? An even bigger tsha, right!)
Two... Wil and Xan were right. There'd probably be monsters.
The whole thing was doomed.

Summary
Set beginning in NFA / comics S8, Buffy has a run-in with the Scourge in Florence, which sends her into a tailspin, makes her question everything she thought she knew about Slayers, vampires... and herself. Grieving and desperate, she calls Angel for some answers... and finds out something that she never thought possible.
A reckless trip back to her old hometown is the beginning of a journey of self-discovery and reunification the likes of which she never dreamed... one that bids fair to set both broken souls and bound demons free.
Canon rewrite of NFA through AtS comic "After The Fall" through Buffy S8-...?
I'll let you know.

Something Wicked by touchstoneaf
Fandom: Angel: the Series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)
23 Jul 2021
Summary
A series which veers off-canon after Something Blue with a surprise visit from the Hellions, and rewrites itself in rather interesting, often agonizing, but hopefully useful ways thereafter as each new wicked thing comes to town.
Begun because I was attacked by a bad dream, launched because of the Elysian Fields Big Bads Challenge, and continued because wicked plot bunnies continued to assault. Because when something wicked this way comes, it's usually smutty, sometimes slutty, often taboo, occasionally quite painful... and most definitely throws canon right the hell out of the damn window. With Shakespeare. Like ya do.
And heh, I didn't make the pun, YOU did.
Alright, if you have to ask what pun, maybe I did...- Words:

Summary
The title basically says it all.
While I listed the /Other(s) pairings and the F/M content so no one got an unhappy surprise, this story is all about the Giles/Ethan.
