    Summary

    Spike never has behaved the way Buffy expected... not even when he's a feral demon.
    At the end of 'Lover's Walk,' instead of sending his goons to fight Spike, Mayor Wilkins sends them to capture him. When they return with the vampire and a bonus Slayer, Wilkins injects them with some new drugs he got from Professor Walsh over at the university. With Buffy stripped of her strength and Spike stripped of his human traits, all the Mayor has to do is lock them in a room and let the Slayer of Slayers do what he does best.
    Buffy wakes up weak, injured, in chains, and at the complete mercy of her mortal enemy. Yet instead of torturing and killing her, Spike frees her and tends her wounds. She can't ask him why, because he's nonverbal. The two of them form a bond, depending on each other to escape. By the time Buffy and Spike get free of the Mayor's clutches, everything between them has changed... as has everything Buffy thought she knew about demons.

    Summary

    Gongsun Yin loosened the outer layer of his cloak and was halfway toward his usual seat somewhere in the middle-back when he noticed the unfamiliar figure sitting alone near the western windows – the reason half the academy had been whispering for days.

    (Or, perhaps not unfamiliar, just new – although nearly everyone already knew who he truly was.)

    Xie Zheng.

    The Chancellor’s nephew. The sole heir of the noble Xie family.

    The boy who had supposedly begun accompanying military forces before most students here had even touched a sword.

    The boy everyone whispered about.

    Gongsun Yin had heard enough stories over the past three days to fill up three entire volumes, each less reliable than the last.

    One claimed Xie Zheng had killed a mounted bandit at twelve. Another insisted he slept with a dagger beneath his pillow even within the Chancellor’s residence. Someone else swore he heard that he had once ridden three days through a storm carrying crucial military intelligence after an ambush slaughtered the original messengers.

    Gongsun Yin suspected at least half of the stories were nonsense.

    (He didn’t know what to think of the remaining half.)
