Summary
The death of Drusilla triggered events that Buffy nor her friends could have ever predicted.
Spike loses the center of his world, Angelus loses patience, and Buffy Summers loses the right to believe this war ends cleanly. What follows is not a story about redemption or justice, but about what happens when ancient monsters decide that death is too small a consequence for betrayal.
Angelus does not seek justice, and he does not offer mercy. What he offers is correction. With Spike at his side, bound by grief, rage, and a bond neither of them fully understands, Angelus sets out to reclaim what was taken; not by ending the Slayer’s life, but by reshaping it. Because death would be too simple, and forgiveness was never on the table.
As vengeance tightens into something darker and far more binding, lines are crossed that cannot be uncrossed, and identities are stripped down to what remains once choice no longer matters. In the end, there are no heroes left, only a family rebuilt in blood, bound together by what was taken and what was claimed in return.
