Okay this was way harder than it sounded. The first one is a stand alone. The other three are interconnected. All are post NFA

Angel, Spike, Buffy - Post NFA - The Proposition
"She’s going to say no," Angel murmured, setting up the candles around the hot tub.

"She’s changed," Spike replied.

"I’m telling you it’s going to be a disaster." Angel said.

"Why? This is not the first time doing something like this for either of us," Spike argued.

"We don’t share well."

A rap on the door broke off any further arguing. Angel let Buffy in. She stared at the vampires, confused.

"Um, Buffy, we thought maybe you’d....it’s sort of polyamory," Angel stumbled over the words.

"He’s trying to say you don’t have to chose. You can share us." Spike grinned.

Connor & Angel - Father-son talk

"This would have been easier if you and the others had stayed in Europe." Connor fussed with his bow tie. "It’s not like I’ve ever taken a girl to a fancy party. I’m nervous."

"You’ll be fine. Here." Angel pressed cufflinks into Connor’s hand. "They’re mine. They’re old. So, fraternity formal? You aren’t driving home tonight are you?" Angel fretted.

"Staying at the hotel."

"Do you have any...."

Connor flushed. "You’re the last man on earth who should be asking about that. Yes, now quit fussing over me."

"Can’t help it, son. You and Dawn have fun tonight."

"Thanks Dad."

Dawn & company - Preparations

"You look beautiful." Willow hugged Dawn.

"She needs better taste in men. I can’t believe she’s going somewhere with Angel’s stick of a son." Spike groused.

"I can’t believe I’m on Bleach Boy’s side in something," Xander moaned.

"Will you two stop? I’m nervous enough without that," Dawn scolded.

Buffy took a box out of her pocket. "This was mom’s. I wore it for luck that last night in Sunnydale."

Dawn opened it and saw the little diamond cross necklace. "Her wedding necklace."

Buffy put it on for her then hugged Dawn. "Don’t be nervous. You’ll have a great time."

Connor/Dawn - Comparing Notes

"Did I forget to say you look beautiful?" Connor asked as Dawn snuggled against him in the limo

"In spite of the insane family, you remembered but I like hearing it."

"I know. Could they have made things more awkward?" He touched a petal on the orchid corsage he had bought to compliment her sapphire gown.

"I’d say at least you didn’t have to endure the embarrassment of a century old vampire trying to be sure you were having safe sex but you did, didn’t you?" Dawn smiled.

Connor snorted. "Sadly, yes."

"From here, the night can only get better."
