    Summary

    Post-Chosen, Buffy's struggling to adjust to the new status quo of her life: no longer the only Slayer, but still The Slayer. The one in charge. Propelled to investigate a strange blip on the magical radar, Buffy finds herself in Duluth, Minnesota and much more than she bargained for.

    Meanwhile, Spike has come back from the brink himself, only to be entirely at loose ends. No purpose, no guiding light, he gets himself out of LA and into a mess of, well, not hot water, that's for certain.

    AKA, Buffy and Spike reunite in my home state and they hate it.

    Written for EF's 2026 Challenge Month, answering werehorse's challenge of Spuffy vs. YOUR favorite local cryptid, which I've had my eye on for months. This has been a lovely excuse to get Spuffy to Minnesota.

    Summary

    “My love is like to ice, and I to fire…,” recited the letter, underlined like a title.

    Then her name again, and a different poem entirely beneath;

    “Buffy,” it started. “I burn for you…”

     
    A secret admirer leaves poems to aid in Buffy's catch-up poetry assignment, clearly intending to win her heart.

    (Of course it's the last person she would have expected.)

    Summary

    Underground, it is common knowledge that anyone wishing to marry the Goblin King must be victorious in a challenge set by the Labyrinth itself.

    No one expected the Labyrinth to choose its young human Champion as the challenge to be bested.

    As for Sarah, she’s becoming increasingly concerned by how much she enjoys defeating Jareth’s would-be-spouses with a wide range of boardgames.

    It should also be noted that Sarah is an unrepentant cheat.

    So is Jareth.

    Summary

    “You know you’ve got a willing slave,” were the words Spike sang. Buffy dismissed them at the time, her mind and her heart not ready to accept what that might mean. While Buffy finds herself on the wrong side of a demon mafia, Spike takes it upon himself to show her, and himself, the true meaning of his words.

    Summary

    Buffy says, "No, but see, the thing is that good things look a lot like good things until you find out they're bad things, and I am really just full-up on bad things forever, thanks. Only lukewarm things for Buffy."
    "That's the spirit, B!" Faith claps Buffy hard on the back, spilling some of William's coffee onto her shoes. "Let ole Willy warm ya up."
    "Extremely not what I meant," says Buffy.

    AKA: The one where Buffy works at a coffee shop and William is her favorite customer.
