Yes, I'm aware that Spike is nowhere near Earth in the timeline of s8 but that won't stop me. I've been craving a Spander s8 fic but I haven't really seen one still. When the issue summary came out that Xander had to recruit a "former ally", I sincerely hoped/wished it was Spike but alas. I wanted to see Spike's face if he met the Xander who could command hundreds of slayers and witches the moment I read the first issue.
I am not above bribing an author with fanart.
And yeah it's WiP XD. I'll finish this maybe next week.
