Smoke & Mirrors
by Wolfling & Magpie

All characters and locations belong to Joss, ME etc, except the ones that don't. The quotes here are from 'Funeral for a Friend' by Planes Mistaken for Stars
This is a story from the Of Old Mystics series, the sequel to Masks.
As Magpie is English, and so are the characters, British spelling is used throughout.
NC-17. Slash - m/m explicit sex. Elements of kink. Drug references.
Spoilers up until the end of the final episode of BtVS.
Our beta readers are Mad Poetess and Wesleysgirl, both divine human beings. Well, divine anyway ;-).
