Yay! More!

And again, I really love the itsy bitsy bits of romance here, like the feel of Spike's hands on Buffy's shoulders. I'm most interested to hear what this missing ingredient is of Giles'. And yanno, I sort of feel like Buffy could have let Spike finish listening to his band. It's not like they'd have lost any time once they got back home...

I have just really enjoyed this a whole lot, all the way through. :)

Thanks so much! She should have definitely stayed to hear the last set. It's the Clash! *g*

So glad to see more of this! And so happy that Spike got to see the Clash live and onstage, at leas. What fun is time travel if you don't get to do stuff like that. For a moment, it seemed like a real date.

I'm still more than a little intrigued by Ripper....and now something's "not right"....!

[cindergal]

Thank you! Glad you're still enjoying it. And yes, Giles is uneasy. Hmmm.... ;-)

Deirdre needs to insist that they stay for the next set. Criminey! Joe Strummer is a finite resource, you know?

I love the sexy, sassy connection between them. Everything is so intimate, even if it's happening in a crowded place. Hairdressing, eyes meeting across the crowd, staying connected in the pit. It's all so...um, evocative of my own youth, I guess. Bless you.

[cindergal]

I know. Joe Strummer. :-(

It's all so...um, evocative of my own youth, I guess. Bless you.

Where do you think I get my ideas from? ;-)

Thanks so much - happy you enjoyed it!

"It is the Clash, love."

I have to say I'm with Spike on this one!

So glad you're feeling inspired to write in the buffy-verse again! This is really a fun story. And the bit with Deirdre was an especially nice touch. I like the way you're tying this together!

[cindergal]

Seriously, Buffy. It's the Clash!

Glad you're still having fun with the story. :-)

while Spike flirted and charmed her shamelessly and Buffy fumed next to him. Not because she was jealous. Because of...something else she would think of any moment now.
"snort"

He lit a match, but hesitated as he went to light the candle. Something wasn’t right.
"wibbles"

"Spike..."

He cleared his throat. "Right you are. Let's get this show on the road!"

Ripper glanced at him in disgust. “My God, you're whipped.”

Spike just sighed. “Don’t I know it.”

You have no idea...

[cindergal]

Hee! Ripper has only seen the tip of the iceberg. :-)
