He was ensouled, enraptured, and enthralled to this soft-hearted, soft in the head sod, and he should've hated that he was waxing alliterative over a middling mortal man after five fucks and a ha'pint of blood, but all he could manage was a giddy relief that Xander's pulse had already slowed into the even meter of sleep, freeing William to decant in a hushed whisper things Spike would recant, upon pain of death, were Xander to ever hear them.

*flails in inarticulate glee*

Very real, and very them, and this line was pure brilliance. :D

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

I needed to write the story where Spike desperately tries to resist the (sometimes questionable) allure of Xander. And I have a serious, major kink for the Spike we see later on in canon--he of the well-educated vocabulary and still-bitchy and defensive attitude.

Ahh this was great. I loved the slow build up with the lacking sex to the end with the great sex and even great amount of feeling. Thanks so much for sharing!~Bee

[miriam_heddy]

You're welcome! I had a great time with it, obviously.

Love's Bitch has fallen again, no matter how much he'd like to deny it. ;)

*Mwah*

[miriam_heddy]

Absolutely. And he's never one for falling halfway, though I like to think that he's self-aware enough to hope, each time, that he can avoid it.

Fabulous! Even the bad sex at the beginning was strangely hot, while perfectly in character for both of them. Lovely. YAY!

[miriam_heddy]

Thanks! I love a bit of bad sex. I get tired of the perfect sex trope, especially when people inevitably have too much riding on it. And Spike, in particular, seemed like he'd be desperately hoping it would be bad so that he could avoid an emotional engagement he was already too far gone to prevent. So... thus was my rationale, which I hope the story worked to illustrate. Bad!Sex=TrueLuv.

Well done!
