Prompt: Left Over
A/N: Un-betaed, be warned!

She’s always half embarrassed, half self-satisfied, to see the scars on his otherwise indestructible body, left over from their frenzied sessions of furniture-breaking.

Evidence. Of now. Of this.

A smaller, quieter part of her feels alarm.

Ooh harsh ending. Nice. (btw- like the choice of italics ;) )

[ever_neutral]

Hahaha, me and my never-ending battle with italics! Glad you approve. ;)

gahh so many awesome images!
Love Buffy's inner fight, the contradictions between what she wants and things she doesn't want to want and the idea of marking Spike to make it real but the fact that Spike embodies unreal is just devastating.

Your comments are always awesome. And much appreciated! ♥

Really enjoyed this! Of course, Buffy thinks she can be with Spike and not be affected by him, but she's marked as clearly as he is. Great job.

[ever_neutral]

Thanks! I'm glad it worked for you. :)

Oh, that is so S6. I really don't think anyone loves and understands S6 the way you do.

[ever_neutral]

Aww! But, but, what about you? And Gabs? And everyone???

Nevertheless, the sentiment is appreciated. :)
