Summary
To solve a mysterious string of deaths, Buffy and Spike must go where they have never gone before-undercover at a large company, where they must hunt down a murderer amid the cubicles while coping with PowerPoint Presentations and the Coffee Fund Rules. Silly. Complete.
Author's Note:
This is a long-gestating fic. In fact, several elephants could have gestated, been born, and grown to adolescence since I started it. I started it just before Season 7 began airing and worked on it a bit more during the depths of angst-ridden drama on the screen, at my job, and in my fic. I kept adding to it whenever I was desperately in need of cheering myself up. I finished it as an antidote to my current fic, which chronicles Buffy's depression. Therefore, I've set it in an alternative Season 6 where there is no angst. Assume Buffy didn't die at the end of Season 5, or, if she did, she was glad to get back. Don't go looking for any huge problems among the canon characters. They're not there, although all is not sweetness and light. Which is good, because we all know how bad light is for Spike.[2]
Reactions and Reviews
This was a super entertaining read! As a cubical occupant who frequently thinks my coworkers are some kind of chit-chatter demons, I found a lot of amusement in this story! Plus, the hilarity of everyone knowing & being okay with Spike and Buffy together was wonderful! Thanks for a splendid story![3]
