The Masters and Minions Series
by Medea
Synopsis of the series: Alternate-Universe fic in which Willow is unexpectedly made a vampire by a minion while on a weekend trip to attend a computer programmers' conference in Los Angeles. The series follows her adjustment to a new existence, as well as the reactions of the Sunnydale crew.
Spoilers: Anything up to and including "The Gift", although in this 'verse, the events of "The Gift" didn't happen as they did in the series. A better reference point for where this fanfic diverges from Canon is "Intervention" (the "Buffybot" happened in the Masters and Minions universe, but things get quite different after that).
Rating: NC-17 overall
Pairing: Willow/Angel/Spike overall, although this may vary with specific installments
Disclaimer: Although it was mentioned on the main page, I'll say it again -- this is just for fun, I'm not making money from these stories, don't intend any copyright infringement, and I acknowledge that all characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel:The Series belong to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy and...well, the WB and UPN can duke it out.
Final Note: For the purposes of this series, Spike was sired by Angelus.
