We Will Remember Them…
By Lilachigh



They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Laurence Binyon




Chapter 14 In the Dark



The air trapped under the tarpaulin smelt of earth and rotting vegetables. Buffy strained her eyes but she could see nothing in the dark. Tentatively, she reached out a hand, then flinched as it touched cold flesh. Spike was still lying unconscious next to her.

She wriggled herself over onto her side and touched him again. That was his hand, then the thick wool of the sweater he was wearing.

“Spike!” she whispered, but there was no reply. Cautiously, she ran her hand upwards until her fingers touched his chin, his cheeks, his mouth. In the darkness – so utterly without light – she knew she was safe. And the vampire was unconscious. He would never know. She just wanted to feel once more the outline of his face under her hand, the texture of his skin, the outline of his body.

The Avengers

I wrote 'The Avengers' series a bit out of order, but here's the third major story, which completes the series.

Title: The Avengers
Author: ubiquirk
Fandom: BtVS
Rating: PG13
Genre: drama, action/adventure
Word Count: ~6700
Characters: Faith, Giles
Disclaimer: Not mine; no money.
AN: Set post “Chosen,” just after “No Future for You.” Written for summer_of_giles 2009. Third in the Avengers Series. Although each story can stand alone, this one is the direct sequel to both ‘Feet of Clay’ and ‘New Kind of Same’ and references events in each. Much thanks to my beta firefly_124.

Summary: Each estranged in their lives, Faith and Giles have formed a ‘working partnership between equals.’ But something’s got the demons of London in an uproar, and the duo’s first big case as ‘Peel and Steed’ proves tougher than expected … on multiple levels.
