Title: In Heat
Author: NautiBitz (nautibitz.com/contact.html)
Show | Pairing | Rating: Buffy the Vampire Slayer | Spike/Buffy | NC-17/M (not for kids)
Summary: The summer after Season 5 (in my world where Buffy never died), a pheromone heat wave gets the Slayer hot and bothered... for Spike. What's a lovestruck, semi-reformed vampire to do?
Timeline: Summer after Season 5. In my happy-ending version of the finale,
thanks to Willow's fabulous powers, the key was magically transferred
out of Dawn just in time to close the portals and defeat Glory. So everyone,
including Buffy, is alive and well. (Much of this was written before 'The Gift'.
Please engage your denial and suspend your disbelief now.)

Author's Note: Mad props to the S/B fanfic queens, especially Laure Alexander and
Saber ShadowKitten, from whom I may have inadvertently borrowed since
I'm a huge fan.
Special Thanks to my sweet love, who read my very first draft and said, "There's not enough sex." She is solely responsible for all the gratuitous smut. Thanks also to my beta readers for the epilogues and the "Bring It!" interlude.
Soundtrack: This fic mentions or excerpts the following songs: The Ramones "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend", Fugazi "Give Me the Cure" and "Waiting Room", Billy Idol "Rebel Yell", The Clash "Should I Stay or Should I Go", Buzzcocks "Ever
Fallen In Love With Someone (You Shouldn't Have Fallen In Love With)", Martha & The Vandellas "Heat Wave". Most of this music can be sampled and/or purchased via my store (powered
by Amazon).

Rights: I do not own these characters or the worlds they inhabit. However, the text I have written is not YOURS to paste into your own fic in any way, shape or form. That is called plagiarism, and it is not cool. Not that YOU would ever do that, because YOU are awesome. Obviously. :)
Feedback: Always hot, never a bother.
