Excellent, do wish something awful would happen to Riley, but loved the connection between Angel and Spike. Now they can enter each others minds and know what is going on with the other.

The Victorian Parlour sounds nice

Angel did the connection because of Riley and what he threatened to Riley about knowing if he was going to harm Spike.

The Victorian parlour was something William would retreat to, but Angelus found little interest in. :)

Oh man, possesive Angel is my weakness. I love him like that. It's the daddy-thing in me. In my mind possessiveness and jealousness is romantic and sexy. Thank you for writing Angel possessive of Spike. There hasn't been much of that lately, and it's so purely Spangel. It really is what I crave about Spangel.

Still going through my songs. This is going to be a slightly on-going project, babe. I've got to do some work on the darker_spike memories this week too. I don't mean to take so long, but I want to be thorough. And then I'm even thinking I might need to go back and reread parts of this story. So hang on, ok? I want it to be good songs.

You're not the only one who enjoys a possessive Angel. It's why I loved Angelus and ATS S2 Dark Angel. I think that I addressed some relationships in this chapter quite nicely. Spangel's snarky side, the Bangel relationship, when he tells her that she isn't the only one who gets to move on, Riley's future interaction with Spike and Angel's threat before he leaves Buffy's dorm, Angel telling Buffy to use Spike (as muscle) if she needs him, (which paves the way to BTVS S6 and how Angel will address her misuse of Spike then, and it also paved the way for BTVS S5 episodes like Fool For Love when Spike tells her his story (the RIGHT way), and Riley's paying vamps to suck him in INTO THE WOODS (because he can't quite figure out why Angel and Spike get a reprieve from Buffy's stake

'However, things have changed as well, Spike doesn't have the obsession with Buffy that he did in canon. So CRUSH will end differently, also no Buffybot."

And I love you for that. :)

I also love hearing about all those books and how long this fic is going to be! I'm very much looking forward to it.

I'm glad. Others think I'm insane for taking on a task like this. But, if you knew me in real life...with projects like this, I never do anything part way... I usually take the long route. :)

I really wanna smack Riley. I'd forgotten how much I dislike him.

Loved the dream scene. The Victoria parlour is perfect for Spike's inner retreat. He is as much William as the Big Bad.

Thank you.
