"Every bloody cop show on telly ever, for one"

Good point, Spike!

"you should never take relationship advice from anyone whose last name is Evil"

Good point, Buffy!

This was so much fun, but also a great reflection on the moral ambiguities of the unsouled-but-trying-to-be-good vampire. In other words, awesome. I can never get enough of this wonderful 'verse you've created.

Glad you enjoyed. :)

Tee! I cannot stop smiling! That devious little so-and-so!

I also really liked the "little green apples" line. Fanfic: keeping fun archaic phrasings in circulation since 1970! Or something.

"forty-third thoughts", "nick - er, rent a truck", "Every bloody cop show on telly ever", "Who And/Or What It Is OK For Spike To Kill And When" are all likewise excellent.

There's evil and then there's evil. Trufax.

"moonlit curls" is in there twice, fwiw.

The funny thing is, little green apples was just something I threw in until I could think of something better. Which I never did. :D

It's so bloody virtuous it fair makes me sick!"

Lovely turn of phrase! As usual your evil /conflict piece is a gem.

It's very difficult to be good when the cop shows lie to you. *g*
