You know, this is actually one of my best Inspirational Challenge pics... I'm sooo proud of it!

HERE ARE SOME DETAILS...

TIMELINE: After Season 3. Either straight after Graduation Day or early Season 4.

CHARACTERS:

BUFFY: Kinda broken and hurt after Angel left her. Sick and tired how Willow and Xander are trying to push her get over Angel, and how Giles tries to push her to do training, slaying, and more training. She also finds out about that her mom has something to do with Angel leaving her and Sunnydale.

Faith wakes up from her coma, and Buffy makes a truce with her.

Buffy makes a deal with Watcher's Council, so she can leave Sunnydale and Faith stays watching over the Hellmouth. Scoobies and Joyce find out about the plans after she has already left. They don't know where she went.

WESLEY: He is just travelling after Council fired him.

SPIKE: Trying to drink his sorrows after Drusilla left him - again. Does some dirty work for Las Vegas underworld crime lords, and spends his moneys in casinos, bars, and some (kitten) poker games.

OZ: Let's pretend he never forgave Willow for cheating him with Xander. Now after the high school is over, he wants to see world. He does some music things here and there, and ends up to Las Vegas.

TARA: Trying to hide from her family. Works at magic store. You can decide if she is a gay or not.

ANYA: Left Sunnydale when she found out about yhe Ascension. Still on that road. Stopped in Las Vegas, when she finded out how much pleasure money can give you - and Las Vegas is the best place to get some!

DOYLE: Still trying to hide from PTB, and forget that they gave him his awful gift and the headaches. But then again... You can't hide forever.

OTHER DETAILS:

1) Why they all ended up to Las Vegas, and how they met? Is someone trying to say something? Pushing them together?

2) Buffy's name is too familiar and she afraids her friends find her, so she changes her name - now she's Hunter. You can decide if it is her first name, or last name.

3) After some rocky roads (and when this group is finally together), they decide to establish a security & investigation firm. (It's almost like Angel Investigation, but with much more high-tech goodies and magical knowledge.) They help with underworld problems, but also do some basic works in daylight (security work or something...)

Let's remember that they have lots of experience and knowledge about their working area. Their group has so much skills: Buffy is a tactic and a muscle (yes, she also has brains), Oz is a computer genius, Tara knows magic, Wesley languages, Doyle gets visions, Anya and Spike have centuries of knowledge.

4) There should be some office romance, but you can decide who's with whom.

So, this was the basic idea / plot. You can decide most of the other things.

If you have more to ask, just review this, and I'll try to reply as soon as possible.

This has mixed feelings for me. Maybe Buffy goes to LA, and the others do too, but seperatley. (BA RIGHT?!!!) and something happens. Think of the ATS episode here. Maybe instead of that scam thing going on, they run into all of these people, even thoguh some of these people are of AI.

The Fang Gang> Spike, Dru, Angelus, Darla

The Scoobys Gang>Buffy, Angel, Giles, Jenny, Xander, Anya, Cordy, Willow, Oz, Tara, Riley, Spike, Kendra, Dawn, Faith, (I think that's all of the scoobs.)

AI> Angel, Cordy, Wesley, Gunn, Doyle, Gru, Connor, Kate, Fred, Lorne,

> -I just wanted to be sure I had everyone down-

I know you posted this a few days ago, but I felt like adding my two cents.

This is doing so much for my imagination at the moment. I do not know when to place this in time, but in an AU situation, this could be plausible. I was looking for something different and if you add a few more conditions, there may be something that actually sparks my pen.

But, for the moment, I see this as an alternative to college for Buffy. But in order to leave the Hellmouth, Faith has to be around so I figure that Faith takes control of Sunnydale and Buffy leaves for Las Vegas to blow off some steam and perhaps runs into Anya returning from running from the Ascension and maybe Wesley who is doing the same thing she is. I can see Buffy saving a life and when she actually gets a name for herself, she also gets a job, something in a public place.

Oh my, the bunnies are a-running... I think it is high tame to tame them before I start writing this, because I would probably enjoy this to no end.

Okay, I have now added some of the details. So, read them.

I wrote most of the details down for ages ago, but then I took a break from the writing, and forgot the whole thing.

I couldn't find those details anymore, and that's the reason why I haven't type them here.before

I'm pretty sure I have forgotten something from my original detail list, but maybe I'll remember them someday...

I still have a few things to finish on my current fics... but I would really love to give this a go. After spending many months heavily involved in LoTR crossovers, I believe that a plain and rather A.U. Buffy fic might do me well, and this is certainly giving me many ideas.

I really love that image! It set off the most ideas, truly!
