NEW!
BtVS Season 3 Wishverse (PG-13) Completed
Story takes place in the Wishverse.
Ever since I saw The Wish, I wondered what circumstances in the Wishverse made that Buffy so different from the Buffy we knew. The question was tabled, however, until I saw the sign-ups for the Snakes on a Plane Challenge. The idea to use Wishverse!Buffy worked better with the plot ideas I had, so I finally got to explore my thoughts on what life circumstances made Wishverse!Buffy the character we saw on screen in The Wish. This is the result.

A Fanged Four/Pirates Crossover
Pre-Series, AU PG-13, unless otherwise indicated
Pre-series, definitely Altered Reality/AU, in fact the Fanged Four somehow ended up in the late 1700's for purposes of this story,
long before Drusilla and William were actually sired. The Bermuda Triangle, perhaps? Spike is in the beginning of the process of
developing the "Spike" persona and there is still a lot of "William" evident in the character. This story takes place sometime after the
conclusion of the movie, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl".
