See this is why I normally avoid reading WIPs and wait for a fic to be finished, I seriously lack patience. Another great chapter, total cliffhanger, please post more!

"“Your stomach,” she corrected. “Mine’s fit as a fiddle.”"
Perks of the Slayer metabolism? :)

“He’s just trying to distract me from the real reason he’s here.”
I mean, she's not entirely wrong.

"Word is, she hasn’t had a decent slay since Soldier Boy took off.”
I see what you did there, Spike ;)

"“No, a fortune teller is a he or a she.” She paused. “Or an it, since this is the Hellmouth.""
Hee! I mean, *I* think it could theoretically be a non-binary fortune teller, but Buffy doesn't think that way, so fair enough. And her Slayer instincts are on point! :)

I like that Spike sees Buffy's not spending enough time with her friends.

"“That’s it,” she said. “Someone’s gotta be the boss around here. If she’s employed with the carnival, she has to report in.”"
Yay, good thinking, Buffy!

Am enjoying watching Spike ogle Buffy

Oleksiy is being so ominous! I love it!

Looking forward to finding out more about what's afoot :)
