Those wacky Aurelians! They sure do get up to some shenanigans. Take a look at some of their adventures before they ever made it to the sunny Hellmouth.

A grisly Easter story, but then aren’t they all? R

There are oodles more, many of which have already been recced here. I would like to take a moment to lament the passing of seasonal_sd, a Spike/Dru community that led to some really excellent stories and art, which are unlikely to be collected in one place again. However, we had the Darla She Did It Her Way ficathon in the fall to ease our pain. http://shapinglight.livejournal.com/916237.html Thanks, shapinglight.

No thanks to LJ for making posting such a chore.
