Many of the girls were ready to be buried and I had tired of watching the morticians, who were working for an ungodly salary cleaning and beautifying beautiful girls who were dead and would never help save the world from demons again ( Read more... )

Somehow, in the midst of all of the tragedy, self doubt, denial and guilt, and after all of the excessive drinking, I managed to sleep ( Read more... )

I was fairly confident that my pursuit of Boris Reminger, the nazi-vamp in Hamburg had been successful. He said that he would be in Vienna tomorrow, and that was one very powerful ally that I wanted and needed to fight the remaining slayers, of which, Buffy Summers and the could-be-made evil Faith Lehane lived through the shooting of the other ( Read more... )

The phone call from Faith had been most distressing. I couldn't fathom how I had been such an idiot, a moron, a birk. There weren't enough bad adjectives to describe me. I had been irrational and had let Xander's mindset influence my intelligence and my coherent reasoning. I had let Buffy and Faith going and Dawn's breaking free from Andrew's pleas ( Read more... )

I had made a breakthrough with Spike's trigger. It had all come from something that Willow had stated about mind manipulation, and it occurred to me that there wasn't necessarily a physical catalyst inside of Spike's brain, like there was with the chip in his head placed there by the Government which kept Spike from harming anything or one that ( Read more... )

Set against the backdrop of demons screaming and howling and the crashing down of the deluge of the sky, I heard him say, without preamble, that Willow needed to go dark. To me, considering what was out there, I couldn't ( Read more... )

I was fuming, completely. This intolerable situation created by Buffy and Faith defying their respective duties to go over and help Angel out of a situation that was of his own creation, had just been made inexorably and distastefully worse by the fact that the other Summers girl of the bunch, Dawn, who had no business at all being there, was now ( Read more... )

I had been taken to the hospital, just in time, according to one of the doctor's who had fixed my injured femoral artery. The artery had been knicked and had a small lesion in it, which caused the majority of the bleeding. The dcotor said that if the wound had gone unchecked, that the hole would have become a gash and that I would have died in ( Read more... )

Buffy had showed up to get me out of the office in the library after all that...that had transpired on this very long night, escorted by a new friend. The friend turned out to be a vampire named Justin, which...which instantly, especially considering what Angel had done...or what Angelus had done, to Jenny, then to Willow and finally, to Cordelia, ( Read more... )
