Author: LdyKiya
Email address: amy@brain-insane.com
Fandom: Buffy/Angel/Xena/Hercules/Charmed
Disclaimer: No one owns the Greek Gods and I own nothing and no-one, other people do. I just like to play with their toys. No money made
Pairing(s): Angel/Spike, Xander/Wesley, Leo/Piper, Ares/Joxer (Eventually), Strife/Cupid, Hercules/Iolaus
Category: Crossover
Warnings: um a couple of the Xena/Hercules characters will die. (err changed my mind no death in the fic)
Rating: PG (-13ish?) Language, some kissing.
Summary: Willow turns evil and sends the LA gang and the Scooby's back to ancient Greece to get them out of the way. The elders know that to leave them there would tip the balance in favor of Evil so they send the Charmed Ones back to help the Buffy/Angel guys get back.
Spoilers:
Sequel: no
Author's Notes: The hellmouth only sucked in the high school and Willow never activated all the potentials. Giles never left Sunnydale. Anya ran away with Andrew after Xander caught them in bed together. Buffy never died, went to heaven and all that. Tara did die. I think that covers everything. Also Charmed through last season. Wyatt is born but Leo is NOT an Elder.
A/N: first fic in this (these) fandom(s). So far all my stories have been in `The Fast and The Furious' Fandom. Those can be read at my site (http://amy.brain-insane.com) if anyone is interested in them.
Beta: Calidragon.

"Well now my boys, we need to get a move on if we're going to give the young godling here a body. First thing first, we are going to need the blood of your parents. Rather simple to get if you remember your parents? Without a body I'll not be able to tell you who they were and without their blood you can not have a body. Also we'll need the amulet, you have that with yes?" Bacchus looked at them with a slightly insane grin.
"I don't remember their names I was only 3 when they left me." Spike spoke up. "I have an older brother; I used to think that I had dreamed that him and my Da had wings?" Spike gave an unsure answer. His mother had told him more then once that people didn't have wings.
"Ahhh, well that's narrows it down to two possible fathers, either Ares or Cupid since Cupid is Ares son and Ares does have wings, he just chooses not to show them most of the time. And Cupid's son Bliss has wings as well. Do you remember the color of the wings? Ares is the only god on Olympus with black wings."
"They were white, both of them. Does this mean I might have wings?" Spike responded.
"Most likely you did and will." Bacchus answered then gave a shout for Thanatos; whom he knew to be friends of Strife and Cupid. "Now then you never did tell me if you had the amulet?"
"I have it." Angel answered.
"Ah you've been wearing it yes? You're also the one who called him out of it."
"Yes I am. He's my childe, my favorite. His loss hurt me a great deal. But I didn't know that just touching the amulet would bring him back like that." When Angel realized how that sounded he quickly added, "Not that I wouldn't have done it if I had known. I am happy that he's back."
Thanatos materialized just to the right of Bacchus throne and with a seductive grin threw himself on the elder god's lap.
"What can I do for you? Or better yet to you!" Thanatos thought at Bacchus when he realized that there was a living mortal in the room.
"Could you get Strife and Cupid to pay me a visit? We're in need of their blood to give one of their future children his body back," Bacchus growled as he licked the side of the smaller beings pale neck. "And of course my, oh so loving cousin has given me a deadline…" Bacchus finished as he let his fangs scrap across Thanatos' lower lip.
Thanatos gave a shiver as his lovers hand softly stroked the skin between his wings. Bacchus never failed to exit the younger god, with his deep red skin and black hair, he had a body that could rival Ares, well muscled and sold.
Bacchus was completely enthralled with his lover. Thanatos was tall and slender, without being rail thin, with silky milk white skin that was a shocking contrast to the jet black hair and wings, his eyes were black as black as his hair but had a reflective shimmer to them.
Spike and Angel shared a look, Spike chuckled as he watched. "Reminds me of Sunnydale," he said at Angel's questioning look. That brought a snort of laughter from Angel. He could remember well the constant pheromones that the children emitted in each others company. No doubt it had only gotten worse the older they got.
Thanatos and Bacchus were drawn from one another by the youngling's words and Bacchus thought to his lover, `We'll have to finish this later, please go and get the two godlings for me, Lover.'
Thanatos gave a bright smile before disappearing in a flash of gray light.
"Well then it shouldn't be to long before Cupid and Strife get here in the mean time I think I should explain how simple and complicated this ritual really is." Bacchus said suddenly all business.
Thanatos found Strife and Cupid sitting down to breakfast with their son Bliss. It took only moments for him to explain the situation.
Strife knew that people from the future had appeared in Ares temple earlier and that one of them had been Joxer's future son. But no one had mentioned that his future son had appeared before the dead god of demons.
It was decided that Thanatos would stay with Bliss while the two Junior gods went to help their child.
--------------------------------
Bacchus was correct it was only minutes for Spike's parents to flash into the underworld cavern that the dark god claimed as home.
Bacchus told the participants to stand in a circle.
"Spike you take the southern position, Angelus you take the northern. Strife and Cupid you take up the eastern and western positions. All of you face the center of the circle and each other."
Bacchus nodded his head, pleased with how quickly they complied with his orders especially since he could see the questions swirling in their eyes. He summoned to him the athame that he had used to carve the center piece of the amulet.
"Ok the three of you are to cut the palm of your hand with this athame, make a cup like shape with your hand and let the blood pool in it."
Bacchus walked to Cupid and plucked a feather from right wing and placed it in the gods now bleeding hand. He then walked around the circle to the western position that Strife had taken.
After placing the amulet in Strife's bloody hand he was told to hold his hand out to the center of the circle in front of Spike. "Repeat after me: "Blood of the father freely given."
Strife did as instructed and Bacchus walked back to the eastern position that Cupid had taken.
"Cupid place your feather on top of the amulet in Strife's hand, then put your hand beneath his and repeat after me: Flesh of the father freely given."
Bacchus paused as a slight breeze blew through the cavern and Spike to seem to become less transparent.
"Now Spike place your hand over your parents; Angelus please place your hand palm face down over Spike's and repeat after me: Blood of the demon, love of the sire, blessing of the soul freely given."
Just as Angelus finished speaking Spike began glowing becoming more and more solid as the glow became brighter just before the glow pulsed for the final time Bliss flashed into the room and shouted "Accept-dance of the bropher freely giben!" the small godling flapped his wing and softly lowered himself to his new brothers arms for a hug of the now fully corporal vampire.
