I thought it was my daughter you were in love with. )

Author's Note: Some readers commented on the last part about the logistical difficulties of some of the action. I just want to point out that in the Jossverse canon, all kinds of logistical difficulties were skimmed over or ignored altogether, and ask you to read this story in that great tradition of La La La.

THE PROPER SLAYER (pt 20 of ?)

NOTE: I have redacted the last two updates on this fic. I wasn't happy with my characterizations. The parts are still up, but struck-through and no longer linked directly. The story instead continues from here. Thanks for your patience with my writerly freak-outs! I hope this will mark the resumption of normal service. :)


Since Distance has been sent to its room to think about its sins, The Proper Slayer has come down and is tugging at my skirts instead.

This fic was last updated in early November, so herewith, a brief recap of the story so far:

As this part excellently illustrates, I've lost all control of this story, and it's become just completely off-the-top-of-my-head weird. That's the disclaimer, folks. Don't expect this to make very much damn sense from here on out.

So apparently I don't know what the real definition of crackfic is, thanks for putting me wise.

I thought crackfic meant something you write to just scratch an itch without setting it up properly or stringing it out at a reasonable pace but just charging in to the "good parts" right away. That's what this is shaping up to be. Skimped set-up as I rushed to the "good parts".

So again, in case you're new to this, this is the sequel to LET'S GET LOST, in which Buffy left Sunnydale after s2, went to New York City, encountered a mysteriously-souled Spike, and spent the summer helping him work on getting rid of his soul the way she got rid of Angel's.

Now she's back in Sunnydale, sore hearted and depressed, a misfit at home and school. And Spike's back ....

Spike, get out of here. I mean it. )
