Response to Challenge #380. I actually had this idea kicking around my head for awhile, and when I read the challenge I realized it was time to post. This story picks up post-NFA, and actually, post Spike comic #3 (though no knowledge of the comics is required for enjoyment). After the first chapter time dips back to Season 5 BtVS. A lot of Buffy-time traveling fics have been made, but not so many about Spike. Of course, after Angel Season 5, where Spika goes, Illyria goes too (or maybe its the other way around...). So here's my take on things.
