Embers, Part 5/22 (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

[coalitiongirl]

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

Holy crap that was hot! The fighting, the making out, the banter. Sigh...I miss that. :)

This was a great chapter. I really enjoyed the scene with Spike, Faith and Angel. You can feel how time starts to dull the pain automatically - as seen in the interaction between Faith and Angel, but I kind of loved Spike getting in a few reminders there with his use of "Buffy" and "Twilight."

As much as I want Spike and Buffy to work things out, I am enjoying the angst, sexy tension for the moment. :) Thanks for the update!

Thank you! I think it's still kind of raw underneath, but all parties involved are avoiding each other and the pain and trauma... for now, anyway. ;)

Expect tension. Much tension. =D

He heads back to the ship, relieved, and with a few orders to the bug in charge (or possibly the one that scrubs the toilets. He never can tell them apart), he's off to bed for the duration of the trip.

HAHAHA! Love this.

[coalitiongirl]

Hee! Thanks! :D

Ooh, love this chapter, from the further exploration of faith/angel/spike dynamics to what was surely a slaying date with spike/Buffy! I think you nailed their interactions...especially the moment where spike realizes he would give up everything, all his growth, just to be with her again. Love's bitch, indeed.

[coalitiongirl]

Yep, Spike and Buffy are so oblivious that they haven't even noticed that they're dating, lol! And naturally, Spike's still head-over-heels and only silly insecurities are keeping him from seeing the same in Buffy. :(

Oh, no! this isn't going well at all...But apart from their personal disasters, the plot is really interesting!

[coalitiongirl]

Thanks! This is the first longfic I've written that's so relationship-oriented, and it's been a joy to write! :)
