I really enjoyed reading all the parts (um ... with the understandable exception of Spike's broken ankle!). It's a very thoughtful work and makes me go back in time to when Buffy was on the air, with many of its characters walking, talking contradictions. And I think of the role of the Slayer (more than just Buffy) and how she was meant to be a weapon. What a horrid life, usually cut very short.

I'd always loved the simple purity of the post-Glory kiss. The other time Buffy and Spike were so intimately connected without the complications of sex was in the motel(?) when all they did was hold each other all nigiht long. I miss the thinky aspects of the show.

BTW, considering where the storyline went, can you imagine how things would have happened if Spike's character had been eliminated after a few short appearances, as originally intended?
