People speculating the ending to Buffy back in the day probably never had "Spike becomes a disco ball in hell" on any of their bingo boards.

Waiting in the Wings (for a second chance)

by Tellhulla

She was holding the sun with her bare hands and it was only possible because of him. You gave me the fire back. “I lo-” The Hellmouth erupted around them and Buffy found herself laying on the wet floor surrendered by candles, the discarded sacrificial lamb dressed in virginal white

"Buffy?" Xander was looking at her with two equally brown, equally functional eyes. Angel was standing in a puddle as if waiting for her to run into his arms and Spike was nowhere to be found, and she had the feeling that there was something terribly wrong going on but couldn't remember what it was.

 This story was originally written for the Elysian Fields Mystery Challenge Month 2022 but i couldn't finish it on time and so I decided to expand on the original concept.

Rated Mature for potentially disturbing descriptions.

OLAF: Bah! I've told you a thousand times; I have no interest in this Rannveig. Her hips are large and load bearing, like a Baltic woman. Your hips are narrow, like a Baltic woman from a slightly more arid region.

Lucifer is back and causing trouble.

Buffy is tired and doesn't have time for the devil's daddy issues.

Castiel is a little confused, but mostly happy to see her even if she walked away three months ago. The weird part? He thinks she might be happy to see him too
