This chapter came out a bit long and info-dumpy, but, well, time's a wasting!

Giles is being reactionary and unsubtle, but I have a feeling he's going to come through! Of course, poor wounded Spike is also not being especially strategic, either. He must have used up all his strategy seducing Glory/Ben. Unexpected cock, indeed! It would throw even somebody who'd been through what Spike has.

Buffy ordering Dawn to her room was snorfle-worthy.

For fuck’s sake, I’ll keep it kiddie-friendly.

Hee! Just like you always do, sweetie.

Spike's willingness to undergo very sketchy medical procedures in a non-surgical setting is weird and yet so very canon.

I loved this!

Um, Glory isn't going to want him back, is she? I mean, he can hold his breath for a really long time...

Giles is having a bit of a rough day, I suspect. :D

Hee! Just like you always do, sweetie.

AAW you noticed. *blush*

Sketchy medical procedures in non-surgical settings are practically Spike's hobby at this point. The poor dear.

What is Glory's next move? We'll see after some completely plot-necessary Dick!Angel. :D

Due to many years of experience outwitting D&D gamemasters determined to fuck up your wish spells, I'm betting there's a way to craft an order which would prevent Spike from harming humans and allow him permanent free will otherwise -- but Spike probably wouldn't hold still long enough to finish it!

*snorfle* Yeaaah - Giles just needs to think like a dungeonmaster a bit.

But it will be hard, reading off the detailed, five-page instructions with clauses while Spike interrupts every four seconds to say 'For fuck's sake!"
:D

Never fear, though - everything is smooth sailing for the last two chapters. Really.

This was such a great chapter!

Thank you, darling! I swear I edited and re-edited that silly living room scene a thousand times.

[spikesjojo]

I nearly had my eye poked out by an unexpected cock, and Glory was none too pleased about the whole business. Also, Ben is straight, if any of you had designs on him.

That is awesome - and why did Ben even look down?
Dick!Angel - and some Angel!Dick no doubt! Woohoo!

[hello_spikey]

heee heee. Yeah, Ben just HAD to look... the silly.

Your Dick!Angel wish is my command - in the next chapter!

Oh god, his skull? That gonna be pleasant...:(

Alas, Spike is getting a wee bit inured to elective brain surgery in unsanitary environments.
