Mar 02, 2011 20:04

Title: Embers
Pairing: Spike/Buffy
Rating: PG-13, most likely for the whole fic. Possibly some R action later on.

That's how betrayal works. It sends out ripples of hurt. Ones right next to you...ones you can't even see.

A year after the events of Season Eight, Buffy is still reeling. But while she and Spike try to sort out the hurt and confusion that ( Read more... )

Oh, naughty Buffy! I'm a bit worried about Faith, but Spike's right, Angel needs somebody to take care of for a while. It'll do him good. :)
Cliffhanger phone call - the only acceptable way to interrupt Spuffy lovin'. :)

Heh, Spike wasn't exactly arguing and old habits die hard...but this is only the beginning. ;)

I'm scared for Faith. I've always liked her. Hope Angel can leave his pity party and get with the research.

Spike and Buffy just can't be friends, can they? Too much attraction.

Be scared. ;D But on the bright side, this might be good for Angel! More to come soon...

Another great chapter! Oh my, the kiss happened so suddenly, I had to reread it a few times, because it was so beautifully done. *sigh* Of course, a cell phone cock block. Typical universe. lol
Excellent! Can't wait to read more. I'm hooked.

Yup, it's very nearly a Smashed parallel with significant differences- but things aren't going to get any easier for our favorite couple anytime soon, lol! More should be coming next week- or maybe sooner. :)

What's a girl supposed to do when a fella brings her wings while she's on duty, and helps so...thoroughly? Spit in his eye?

Spike's right, though. Buffy will want to know about Faith. She can't lose another of those close to her, even if they don't get along all the time.

P.S. I'm pretty sure the "horror" is not for Spike. I have Theories.

*nodnod* Exactly! Besides, shouldn't every decent date with food and carnage end with a little something special? ;)

Yep, I doubt that Buffy would forgive herself or Spike if something happened to Faith and she didn't have even the opportunity to stop it.

Fantastic chapter! Faith and Angel's scene is poignant - I'm scared for Faith, but I hope that she and Angel will find a cure and get closer in the process. Buffy and Spike - damn, it started "just" flirty, and then, suddenly, it became hotHOThot!

Thank you! I can't keep those two- either two, actually- apart for long! But rest assured that the drama is only beginning! ;)
