Nooooooooooooo! Please update soon. I'm on tenterhooks. Lovely chapter.

aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh sexual frustration!!!!

beautiful read, thank you.

wow....very touching chapter. And I love that song.

This chapter was very well done, and beautiful without losing the roughness of Spike's character. I'd forgotten about those papers, and Buffy writing such a letter after she'd been imprisoned and lived out years of 'life' to gain experience as seh reflected on the past was so real and perfect for the moment. You bring the two people together wonderfully, and the dance to Cheek to Cheek was just the cherry on top.
I find myself wondering what Buffy's friends will do when they get to know this much older, more experienced Buffy at Spike's side. I really enjoy this story, and I hope it doesn't end with escaping Hell, but shows us a little of readjusting to the outside world.
