Here's a relatively gen* twist on BtVS S4 that spans Pangs to Who Are You? with more Joyce and less Riley.
Title: Defenseless
Author: Rebcake
Word Count: 10,000 in three acts
Rating: PG13
Characters: Spike, Buffy, Joyce, Giles, with guest appearances by some other familiar faces
Summary: After escaping from the Initiative, Spike weighs his options and seeks help from the Slayer’s Watcher mother.
Warning: Compresses some events in the Season Four timeline. Contains non-canon character death.
A/N: Spike POV. Fill-in-the-blank, though somewhat AU. Contains bits of dialogue from the show, but I do not own any of these characters, alas.
Act One
When even Harmony wouldn’t shelter him, Spike realized that there was no quarter coming from demonkind. *Ostensibly Spike/Buffy, though the only romantic action they see is cuddles during Something Blue.
