Summary
Beginning on the Jolly Roger course set for Neverland, Emma is infuriated. She's pissed. She just got her family back, saved the day again, freed Storybrooke and then Henry is kidnapped to a dangerous far-off Neverland, and the villain is Hook's nemesis. Well another of his enemies. Emma is angry and short-sighted and a yearning pirate isn't doing her many favours. He is, but not to her emotional state. There is no room in her life for love, but maybe she can smush in some time for a little pirating.
Hook is desperately in love with her, Swan. And it's painful. But he is determined to do right by her, to save her as many times as she needs, and maybe (he foolishly hopes) somewhere along the way her rejections and dismissals might give way to love.

“One day, love, you’ll come to see just how irresistible I am. I will make it impossible not to fall deeply and truly in love with me, just as I am impossible not to fall into bed with.” He said it like a joke, like a silly thing, without his usual tones of promise and threat, but to her it sank claws of doubt into her flesh. She hoped he wasn't right... but maybe she hoped he was.

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.

Summary
“Buffy?”
He almost never used to call her Buffy. Did he? Always Slayer, or pet, or love. Or like, he’d use her name, but it always sounded odd, in his mouth. All tender, touchy. Like, like he was making eye contact with her, just by saying it.
"Spike."
She wonders if it feels the same, for him. His name, her tongue.

Summary
“I know how we can defeat Glory!” Anya pronounced. Willow and Xander both looked up at her in surprise. Even Giles, over by the register with his tea, looked up in interest. “We run away!”
Thanks to some research done by Anya, the escape in Spiral is to a different dimension, where hopefully they should be safe from Glory’s all-powerful grasp until the window for the apocalypse passes. But trying to get home will be another matter altogether, in a world where humans are slaves, vampires undergo peculiar transformations, and Cordelia Chase is the messiah. Reuniting with old friends doesn’t guarantee things will get any easier, especially if their enemies also team up to maintain the status quo. What does it mean to be The Key? How many regimes will Buffy overthrow? Is there no place like home?
