FIC: Sad Song in His Heart

“Right. Stupid,” he mumbled to himself. Raising his voice, he asked, “Love, you remember that time we were engaged?”

Buffy looked shocked for a moment before comically screwing up her face in disgust. “Engaged? I’m going to need loads more therapy to repress those memories.”

Okay, so she was disgusted by the fact she’d been engaged to ( Read more... )

Oh that was good. I love it. It was a game inside a mystery inside of Buffy's dream...maybe. Spike sure picked the right Buffy.

Thanks! Yeah, it's all kinds of twisty. Do the events only exist in Buffy's dream or did Buffy merely have a prophetic dream of all these events?

Oooh, twisty! Was it a Slayer dream or did Spike really meet the Goddess of Love.

Nice one.

Terrific story. Love the premise, the execution, characters voices. You inserted so many great details here - funny, poignant, insightful.

“You’re a lie. That’s what you are. And you don’t even know it. Just like the Bot doesn’t know she’s a robot. Thinks she’s a real person.

I feel a strong influence of Dollhouse here. Have you consciously used this twist as a homage, or ot just happened?

Oh definitely. I think the parallels are naturally there to pick up and play with. Especially with the Bot. This story was actually prompted by a request from aisalynn who really liked the Decoy in TYSK and wanted to see more of her. I jokingly offered to write her "Buffy, the Decoy and the Bot: the Kinkiest Threeway Spike Didn't Know He Had Coming" for Seasonal Spuffy, but this is what came out. ;)

That was really good. Not what I was expecting but lovely to read. I'm going with a happily ever after on this one.

Thanks! Yes, it certainly took a wild turn, didn't it?

Well, that's certainly what Amara would want. And beings that powerful - well, seems like she'd get what she wants, no? :)
