Characters/Pairings: Buffy, Buffy/Spike
Time: Season 6, post-"Gone," pre-"As You Were"
Genre: Angst
Rating: R
Warning: Gratuitous use of Keats's "Ode to a Nightingale." He would hate me for the way I've cannibalized his poem. Also, a reference or two to Byron. Clearly, no one should let me anywhere near the Romantic poets.
Summary: "There's nothing tender about the night." Buffy is not the slightest bit in love with easeful death.
