"Let's see how many times I can make you scream before sunset." Ooh! This is good stuff.  I love less angst & more orgasms.
This was my very first Spuffy story and I was terrified to put it up.  I just wanted so badly for those two to get back together and canon never allowed it.  This is more a sketch that a real story with a plot, but the reactions were so good, I was encouraged enough to think seriously about writing and the next one had a plot.

OK, this is your last story. I've read all the rest. you gotta write more!!
and I noticed what you said about Buffy and the Immortal. Buffy wasn't actually with the immortal. It was a decoy.

In the comic she was going on a mission and she needed everyone to believe she was still in Rome..
I only have a couple of comics of that but last thing I read was she was in Japan, Dracula was working for her on the side of semi-good.
As you've written in your other stories, Buffy had started affiliating herself with demons and vampires that weren't as bad as the rest and I think that Buffy also started killing humans (haven't read that far) because she had almost eradicated all the demons with the other slayers. So the government got pompous and didn't want a superior race of women and tried to kill them and then she forced Faith to kill again and deal with wet works...

All in all, the comic isn't THAT great but it's still Buffy. I'm a loyal fan :)

BTW great stories!!
I'm definitely writing more!  My next story should be up soon.
I haven't been following the comics, except for the Spike ones, so I was going by TV canon in 'The Girl in Question' on AtS Season 5 for her involvement with the Immortal.  'Fated' was the very first Spuffy story I ever wrote and I hadn't heard of the decoy thing in the comics then, though I have now.  Actually I got the timeline a little mixed up as well, because in my head I set 'Fated' as happening just after 'Soul Purpose' when Fred hadn't turned into Illyria yet, but 'The Girl in Question' and the Immortal happened after Fred had.  I shouldn't have put in those lines about the Immortal, but I did hate Buffy dating him and how hurt Spike was, so I wanted to mitigate that.
I've been doing more research to keep things accurate in the last year, but I'm afraid the comics will never be canon for me, since I don't like the way things are going there from what I hear.  Slayers killing humans, for instance, even bad ones, just seems wrong somehow.  It's the difference in power, you see.  A super hero's powers should be used to protect not kill, which is why Superman or Batman hand human criminals over to the cops.  A Slayer killing humans comes too dangerously close to Slayers thinking that they are God.
I'm so glad you like my stories anyway!  Thank you!

What a phenomenal reunion!  The emotions between them are described so well, and your writing style is great.

And I'm curious: what's a hair shirt?

Thank you for liking it!  A hair shirt is what penitents in the Middle Ages used to wear next to their skin as a punishment for their sins.  It's a shirt made out of industrial strength burlap.  Must have been agonizing!

I cannot tell you how much I love this story.  You hit all my buttons with it dealing with Buffy actually grieving and why she didn't cry and Spike's insecurities.  You gave me the happy ending we were denied by ME and Joss.  I really love this.  Your voices were PERFECTION for the matured Buffy I saw and the Spike from AtS S5. ... dead on!  The sex was hot but more important it had HEART. Just lovely in every way.

I put you on my favorites list in hopes your muse will cause you to come up with more delectable Spuffy goodness.

Thank you for liking the story!  It's fantastic that you do!  I've read all your stories and love them!  I do have more that I will be posting over the next couple of weeks.

ok, let me just say this.  I read a lot of fanfic.  A LOT.  There's only been one other fic that made me teary eyed.  So bravo for being teh second. 

But she couldn’t stop. A hundred and forty-seven days worth of tears came pouring out of her, all the tears she hadn’t allowed herself to shed. She clung to him helplessly, shaking and sobbing, choking from the intensity of her weeping

Absolutely kills me.  I really REALLY hope she rubs the claim in Angel's nose.  Please???  Awesome!!!
I'm so delighted you liked it!  And absolutely I'll be rubbing Angel's nose in it.  I adore doing that!

Really sweet fic, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Just delicious - they both deserve this.
Thank you!  I'm such a Spuffy nut that I couldn't have it any other way!

Awsome I loved it but shouldn't Fred be Illyria at that point?
In my head, I'd set it just after 'Destiny' and Fred wouldn't have turned into Illyria for 3 or 4 episodes.  I was hoping that Spike's warning to her and to Wes would make them leave W&H so she would never turn into Illyria and she and Wes would always be together.
