This is charming. I love the picture you painted of Spike firmly concealing what he's up to in his not lonely enough basement. Too bad his muse's mother couldn't come up with something more lyrical than Buffy. Maybe he could co-opt "Joan" for the evening.

[gillo]

But "Joan" rhymes with "moan"! And William would undoubtedly fail to see beyond that rhyme.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

Excellent! I can just see Spike's frustration at the lack of rhyme.

Thank you! We know how much rhyme mattered to William, and some things don't change. *g*
