8. Chapter 8, Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed by pfeifferpack [Reviews - 0] (6770 words)
A/N: Keeping this one PG-13 or R at the highest rating. Only hinting at NC-17 material. Some dialogue from “Hells Bells” by Rebecca Rand Kirshner

9. Chapter 9, Nothing Normal by pfeifferpack [Reviews - 0] (5537 words)

11. Chapter 11, Setting Red Right by pfeifferpack [Reviews - 0] (5225 words)

Those episodes are “Seeing Red” by Steven De Knight, “Villains” by Marti Noxon, “Two to Go” by Douglas Petrie and “Grave” by David Fury

Poem at end is Love Sonnet LXXIX by Pablo Neruda (I’d pay to hear JM read his sonnets!)
