The story so far: 1943 and Spike and Dru have been captured by the British. To save Dru's life, Spike agrees to fly to France to rescue the Slayer, a girl called Joy. In 2001, Quentin Travers persuades the recently returned from the dead Buffy to time travel back to 1943 to save a Slayer and kill a vampire. What she doesn't know is that the charm for her to return will not work. And when she arrives, she discovers that the vampire in question is Spike!



We Will Remember Them….

By Lilachigh

We will remember them.
Laurence Binyon
