“I wanted to be the last man you ever kissed.”  that was really sweet and sad.

Great Story - hope that you will be able to do an update soon.  It's an interesting way to explore the balance that was changed with the scythe spell.  Like your treatment of Spike and Buffy and how you had him going directly to find her when he became corporeal again.  Makes a nice change to his story and a change from what happened in AtS 5.
