Summary: AU. Angel O'Connor has just moved to Sunnydale to be a professor at UC Sunnydale after his divorce with Fred Burkle. Buffy Summers who is always been known around the campus as the "easy teacher" is smitten when she first sees Angel. And when Angel firsts sees Buffy he is taken by her.

In the ep. Normal Again Buffy kills the Scoobies, going back to the 'real world'.

Then she realises that vampires are real but she's not the Slayer.

    No Angel bashing but others are fair game.

    Requirements:

  • No slash.

  • Must have Wesley put Andrew in his place, Wesley's so good at that.

    Sired: Challenge #5

    Post Chosen/NFA

    Every Christmas Eve. Angel has returned to Sunnydale and stood in the approximate spot wher he once tried to kill himself to remember she who had convinced him not to. This year, it's different. How and why?


    Sired: Challenge #6

    For as long as she can remember, Anna Summers-O'Connell has been told how wonderful, loyal, and brave her parents were. While she hasn't suffered from a lack of parental figures (an overload, more like it), Anna wants to experience her parents for herself rather than relying on others' memories. On the eve of her 18th birthday, Anna casts a spell, unbeknownst to her guardians, that whisks her back twenty years to before she was born. How will meeting and getting to know the people who sacrificed themselves to save the world - yet again - change her?

    Requirements:
    1. BA must have died together, and made the conscious decision to sacrifice themselves (a la "The Gift").
    2. One can have BA together or not when Anna first meets them. If not, what is their attitude towards each other and how does it affect Anna's perception of them?



    Christine & Lela Rose

    Mastered: Challenge #39 "Bounty Hunter"

    Sired: Midnight

    Summary:AU. Set in a future where humanity has taken a nose dive, and it's a kill or be killed world plagued with poverty and nasty things waiting around every corner to harm you. Buffy is a bounty hunter, known for her beauty, strength, agility, and cunningness. She has something akin to slayer strength, but it's not the PTB that gives her supernatural power, it's the beast that rages within her.


    Sired: Challenge #7

    Pairing: B/Aus
    Rating: up to NC-17 (preferred)
    Setting: Salvage (Angel ep S4)

    Must Haves:

  • Wes breaking Faith out of jail just as in the show.
  • Faith telling Cordelia at the hotel - when Cordelia doesn't like the idea of them needing a slayer, especially the psycho one -that if she wanted, Faith could call Buffy, and see how that went over with Queen C.
  • Cordelia hating that idea, and verbally expressing it, much to the confusion, and p
  • ossibly humor, of the AI gang.
    • Sunnydale hearing about the Rain of Fire and perpetual night.
  • Buffy hearing about Faith's breakout, and realizes Faith is in LA.
  • When Angelus hears "That the slayer is in town" and calls Sunnydale, he gets Buffy instead of Dawn.
  • Asks how she is, usual Angel things…and ends the call with "See you around, lover," which tips her off.
  • Buffy going to LA without anyone from Sunnydale with her, or knowing she left.
  • Faith saying to Buffy: "Hey, B, I heard you were dead." Buffy's reply, "Hey, F, I heard you were in jail."
  • Angelus goes to someone to get a spell that ensures he can't be resouled; this time he's proactive.
  • Instead of Faith, he feeds off its Buffy.
  • If he turns her, she must retain a strong sense of who she is. For example: Still want to help save the world from the First and the Beast/Cordelia.
  • If not, he must give a reason for not wanting her turned.
  • Up to you if Angelus helps her save the world from the various apocalypses that are overrunning California.
  • Regardless, he takes her away from LA/ Sunnydale. Where is up to you.
  • You can have him deciding to kill his team or not.
  • Without Angel or Buffy in their respective towns, things progress as they do.
  • Buffy/Angelus must have a happily ever unlife together...

    • I'd love it if someone snapped and killed Cordelia, but suspect if Connor stayed with her then he would eventually be the one to go nuts and kill Cordelia. But that's up to you.

So the story revolves around Buffy sheltering emotionally and physically scarred Angel while trying to lead a somewhat normal life in LA.

    Sired: Challenge #21

    Requirements:AU, NC-17, Angst, Angel

    Angel and Buffy work together when they're in their late teens and Angel is slightly ahead of her on the ladder and then something happens where B/A hate each other, and Buffy leaves the company.

    A few years later, Angel's the head of a company Buffy's trying to take over.
    - The reason they hate each other can't be completely stupid.
    - Buffy uses Angel (NC-17) to try to get control.


    Sired: Challenge #22

    Requirements: AU; Angst, NC-17

    Buffy and Angel are married. They've kept a lot of secrets from each other and, after seeing a marriage counsellor, decide that they need to find a way to unveil said secrets.

    Angel gets Buffy drunk and everytime she gives him information, he gives her a (metaphorical) cookie.

    One of the secrets must be that Buffy had sex with either his mother or father.

    The rest are fair game as long as they aren't stupid or cliche.



    Morganna & Wicked Insanity

    Mastered: Challenge #36 "Reunion"

    Sired: Twisted Fate Prologue

    Summary: Spoilers for BtVS 5/AtS2. B/Aus. In a desperate attempt to resurrect Angelus, an old enemy returns to Sunnydale to recruit the one person that can bring Angel true happiness.


    Sired: Challenge #23

    Timeline: After the ending of both BtVS and AtS
    Rating: R/NC-17
    Pairings: B/Aus, possible B/Drac in the beginning (It's up to the authors).

    Drac finds Buffy in Rome and turns her. She has NO soul. Whether she sticks with Drac and lives it up or takes off on her own is up to the author. Buffy is EVIL. I always thought she had the potential to be one of the darkest characters in fandom if she were ever to switch sides so to speak. I would also like to see a return to the feisty, quippy, happy Buffy. She can still be evil with a sense of humor ;o)

    Angel turns into Angelus in the battle in LA. How is up to the authors. He either finds out about Buffy being turned and goes to look for her or he goes after her just for the hell of it. Again it's up to the authors. Lots of fun and games ensue after they meet.

    Must Haves:

  • Buffy being turned by Drac.
  • Buffy has NO soul.
  • Angel turning into Angelus.
  • B/Aus pairing by the end.

    • You can include none, any or all of the following:

  • Buffy kills at least one Scooby.
  • Buffy and Angelus fighting over a video game.
  • Buffy kicking Angelus' butt.
  • Angelus and/or Buffy kicking Dracula's butt.
  • A red dress.


    • Sired: Challenge #24

    Timeline: AU Post Buffy Season 7
    Rating: R/NC-17
    Pairing: B/A or B/A(us)

    After Buffy loses her close family and friends in the battle with The First, she's nearly catatonic and perhaps destructive. Needing the brutal truth versus someone telling her that it wasn't her fault, she winds up in L.A. to convince Angel to give her the one thing that she believes could bring about the end of her stupor... Angelus.

    Must Haves:

  • A few or all of Buffy's closest friends dying in the apocalypse.
  • Buffy seeking out Angel at Wolfram and Hart.
  • Angel acting like, or becoming Angelus
  • A Buffy/Angel pairing in the end, even if it's still 'long distance for now.'

    • Optional:

  • Angel losing his soul with Buffy.
  • Angel merely summoning a darker part of himself that resembles Angelus.
  • Buffy almost staking Harmony in the lobby of Wolfram and Hart the day she shows up.
    • Buffy leaving in the end.
