Here is my one and only summer fic, I do believe. It is set in the summer between S5 and S6, when Buffy was dead. I think it also holds some record for longest title ever. ;-)

I encourage you to also read quinara's original fic, if you haven't done so already, because it is awesome.

So, we're doing the summer Buffy was dead (that's grim, but I have at least one) and then we can play in other summers. I think I'll post the short Buffy is dead one and just put links to my other summer fics.

Remember how I said that fics set during the summer after The Gift tend to be hanky-worthy? Not if I write 'em, apparently. I have a few last offerings for the catch up, which include a couple of "Spike Babysits Dawn" ficlets and an Evil Trio drabble:

Dead Man’s Hand (PG, Dawn, Spike, Clem)
