They irritate each other in just the right way. Well done dialogue, love the back and forth between them and all of Spike's observations. I find it interesting that he doesn't think anything of the fact that she arouses him, just takes it as part of her Slayerness. She's supposed to provoke him, right?
You're building the attraction so subtly, we can see it creeping up on both of them. Can't wait for the inevitable explosion when they realize.
Excellent :) Except Buffy didn't stake Parker which he so deserves.
Pick the Converse, Buffy...
Buffy is getting really annoying, and I'm not even a bleached British vamp. You're writing her like she was on the show, no worries there, and she was annoying then too! Well done! OK, that was a weird way to say that this is a finely done piece of writing.
ooo those are fighting words!
Truly great story, enjoying this as much as im enjoying "embers" by coalitiongirl atm. Hope you update soon.
I do like this Spike.. his ability to get under the Slayer's skin with his cutting and truth be told words..
Yet can't take a woman's tears. Or being complimented by Buffy.
Need to go back and reread a bit. Three days in her house without harming them. What else did he try and what did he finally do to wake her up ? Maybe it will finally be his true confession that leads to the "awakenings".
Sounds like something Ethan Rayne would do.. What would be the purpose of putting an entire city to sleep ?
More hints coming I hope?
