Author's Notes:
Gifts takes place in the future of an AU where Spike was resurrected as a human after dying in "Chosen" in 2003 (so the 5th season of AtS never happened).

After becoming human again, Spike went back to the name William, and did not contact any of the Scoobies.

Gifts begins five years later, when 22-year-old Dawn accidentally meets William-formerly-Spike in New York City, and learns the story of his first five years as a human. The story goes from there.

The plot revolves around the Key, and the question: is the Key too dangerous to be allowed to exist?

It's a Genfic story, and focuses on friendships and family relationships rather than romance. Buffy and William will get back together and get married, but their relationship will never be the main focus of the story.
