:(( William Dies, but Spike is born. Poor man, and more hard times ahead :(
He's still pretty much William for a while, as you will see.

this is such a good exploration of the emotions and desires that sent William into that alley and why he speaks his "yes" to Drusilla. Your story adds so much to his background and his choice that most important of all nights. I like how you make him want to finally rebel against all the "acceptable" forms in his life. Here, like the series, William is really the fish out of water.
Drusilla's seemingly nonsensical observation:
“That and burning baby fish swimming all around your head.”
make perfect metaphorical sense. William will soon leave all his social demons and find a new life and form of existence as his vampire nature. Dru, as the metaphorical "danger in the sea" gives new life to William and all his newly awakened passions with Emma will find a new expression.
LOVE your closing line - wonderful

I have never understood Dru's baby fish line and your explanation makes sense. William is certainly going to try to leave behind his hot house life., but I'm not so certain he will be successful for a long long time. Angelus is a mean bastard. I love him. Thanks for reviewing.

Ah yes, seduced by the possibility of that passion he thought he had glimpsed with Emma. Poor deluded boy.
You captured his emotional turmoil beautifully here, the poor dear is so torn between duty and desire.

William is deluded and possibly a little off his rocker. Thanks for the wonderful review.

Very well written description of William's mindset paving the way for Drusilla. I always wondered why he didn't flee knowing that she wasn't an ordinary Victorian woman.
I think this chapter gives a possible explanation - also the fact that she's giving him a hand job. Not a lot of men who would run off from that, especially a guy wound as tight as William. Thanks for the review.

So William will turn into Spike... the tin bird didn't change that.
No - in fact William's relationship with Emma pushes him forward. Thanks for reviewing.

I was beginning to wonder if we were going to get Spike at all. Despite how fond I am of William, I'm glad we have. I'm beginning to wonder what's happening with Buffy and the birdy though...
Spike and Buffy will return (with plenty of angst I hope) in the next chapter. Thanks for reviewing.

No more black borders for William. He's got some nasty surprises coming his way!
He does, but at the end of those nasties is the really right girl, our very own Buffy. Thanks.
