| Title: Darkness Part 1 Author:Heeroluva E-mail: [email protected] Rating: PG-13 for now, will more than likely get higher Spoilers: Through 'The Gift" Pairing: Spike/Dawn Summary: Spike leaves Sunnydale the day of Buffy's death after having made a promise to Dawn and returns over a year later with a few surprises.
