-->'' "Please, Buffy. Don't you understand what you've done? We're more afraid of you than guilt. We're more afraid of you than hell." The serrations come to rest, whisper-light, across her spine from the incision already there. "You've won."''

--> ''[[Literature/NineteenEightyFour We will meet]] [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} in the realm of eternal light.]]''

* ExtremelyDustyHome: One results from ensouling a vampire with lots of minions.

* TheFundamentalist: Dena Greer, Slayer. See also KnightTemplar.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: And she never will be, ever again.
* IneffectualLoner: It's a ''good'' thing that Buffy has become this.
* KnightTemplar: Buffy herself is just the beginning.

* IKnewIt: Vamp!Buffy's attitude toward vampirism in this fic is ''extremely'' similar to vamp!Gunn's perspective in ''Angel: After the Fall'', which began over a year later.

%%* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

* VampiresAreSexGods: Averted, more often than not. Vampire Buffy is nearly {{Asexual}}.

* MistakenForGay: Buffy thinks Faith's CombatSadomasochist tendencies are coming out in her attempts at training Harmony to fight, and accuses her jokingly of "molesting vampires". Er...not so much. (Regardless of FoeYay with Buffy, Faith regards Harmony as utterly boring for being TheDitz. Harmony just isn't into that, period.([[IfItsYouItsOkay Unless you're Charlize Theron.]]))

* HilaritySues: A group of vampires and demons threaten to have some of the Slayers arrested [[spoiler: after they [[RealityEnsues bomb Caritas]]]].

''[[http://mabus101.livejournal.com/33416.html#cutid2 DeadWar]]'' is a post-series Buffyverse tale (taking into account both ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and ''Series/{{Angel}}'') written by Tropers/{{Mabus}}. The basic premise is simple: Buffy herself [[HeWhoFightsMonsters has become]] [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie a vampire]]. [[RealityEnsues Hilarity does not begin to describe what ensues.]]

* Erica Hubbard as "Regan Stacey"
* [[Film/PansLabyrinth Ivana Baquero]] as "Solita Munoz"
* Jenna Edwards as "November Hall"
* Rachel Billings as "Brittany Morgan"
* Alona Tal as "Michelle Foust"
* Percy Daggs III as "Gabriel Keller"

* [[AscendedFanboy Ascended Fangirl]]: November Hall, Slayer, is a Trekkie with a thing for Klingons. She attempts to use [[ImprobableWeaponUser a wooden bat'leth.]] It doesn't work too well.

* BoomerangBigot: Vampire Buffy.

* DarkFic: Did you have to ask?

* EyeScream: "...starting with the eyes."

* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampires: Sometimes. You still can't count on it.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

* [[spoiler: LosingYourHead]]: Normally, decapitation kills vampires dead. [[spoiler: Buffy decides to experiment with carving out the spine. Later, ''penanggalan''.]]

* SuicideAttack: [[ShoutOut "We belong dead."]]

* WarIsHell: [[HellIsWar Hell is not war, though.]]

Tropes appearing in ''[=DeadWar=]'':

* ShoutOut: Many, naturally, but makes a rare foray out of Buffyverse territory when Regan arrives on the scene with two other witches. Theme music from ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' begins to play...then stops when they tell her she needs to fight this fight herself.

* [[DeadLikeMe Ellen Muth]] as "Dena Greer"

* [[PansLabyrinth Ivana Baquero]] as "Solita Munoz"

* PutDownYourGunAndStepAway: A Jasminite demon tries to use this on [[spoiler: human Angel]]. He's GenreSavvy enough to keep the hostage's head mostly in front of his own, but Michelle uses vampiric dexterity to plug the demon anyway. (The hostage gets grazed in the ear.)

* IKnewIt: Vamp!Buffy's attitude toward vampirism in this fic is ''extremely'' similar to vamp!Gunn's perspective in ''Angel: After the Fall'', which began over a year later. Very unlikely that it's a SureWhyNot, though nothing's impossible.

--> ''[[Literature/NineteenEightyFour We will meet]] [[{{Frankenstein}} in the realm of eternal light.]]''

* AishwaryaRai as "Sadha Kaur"

* UnresolvedSexualTension: Inadvertantly created between Giles and Sadha Kaur (who, after all, does look like AishwaryaRai). The author was soon asked for {{Lemon}} fic involving the pairing. Soon thereafter, though, Sadha left Giles' cast herd.

* VanHelsingHateCrimes: Killing a [[CompleteMonster soulless monster]] is one thing. But what happens as the proportion of ensouled vampires increases? And then there are the soulless vampires who begin to at least ''try'' to follow the rules to avoid being staked.

* WarIsHell: Almost literally. [[HellIsWar Hell is not war, though.]]

*** Related to Dena's perspective: she is overruled on objecting to using a particular church as an ambush site for vampires. It proves to have almost no crosses and no holy water; dumping a vampire into a full baptistry has no effect. Her allies are reduced to tossing Bibles at the vampires. This is a (fairly common, though not universal) characteristic of the Churches of Christ (to which the author belongs), due to lack of belief in modern supernatural events and priorities leaning away from symbolism. [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/Mabus Mabus]] normally keeps his church out of the spotlight due to the odd implications--that in the Buffyverse, the C of C is a combination of Fundamentalism and [[FlatEarthAtheist Flat Earth Anti-Supernaturalism]].
