Yay, I'm excited to see what adventures Spike's about to have! :))

I like Spike's memories about the house.

"We actually met in high school, but not the way you might be thinking."
He's not wrong! :)

"Spike quickly decided that he did not want to know why Joyce kept handcuffs in her bedroom."
I think he does know why, even though he doesn't *want* to know. :)) I love how plot-relevant they suddenly are.

"Spike took the handcuffs relieved that they were not lined with pink fur."
XD

""Cuz I’m still a vampire and her slayer senses will probably go haywire if I put my hands on her body.” Spike did not add that he always had suspected that Faith had been a survivor, probably sexually assaulted or abused, long before her calling. Maybe even going back as far as into her early childhood. She had put others through pain and suffering, but that didn’t lessen the crimes that had been committed against her and he wasn’t willing to put her through the ordeal of another male laying his hands on her body against her will."

I love the idea of the karaoke machine!! haha! Yes, I can see Spike doing this to cheer his nibblet up. And Spike not wanting to know why Joyce had handcuffs -- like mother like daughter indeed! (and her asking, 'What did you just say about my daughter?' -- haha! perfect!)

I know I read the first chapter of this back during the last SS, but I only have vague memory of it, but this still works. Sorry the writing is going slow for you -- wishing you luck with it! Thanks for sharing!

[flowspuffy]

Thank you <3

I had a very vague idea for a fic once with Spike and Dawn singing karaoke during the non-wedding in Hells Bells. It never developed into an actual story but at least this way it's not completely lost :-)

Now you'll see how much we like this, and you'll be so thrilled and inspired that you will find it impossible not to keep writing this!
...I know, I know... wishful thinking :_(
I'm loving this story <3

[flowspuffy]

Thank you so much! I actually have it all mapped out in my head. If I could only get a week or so all on my own on a desert island I'd probably be able to finish this. :-)

[relurker]

Soon as I win the lottery and buy the island, I'll send you the coordinates! ;)

Great story flow, I'm a sucker for a time travel fic. Loving Joyce in this chapter. Hoping that posting chapters will encourage you to finish the whole story because I really want to see how it ends :-)

[flowspuffy]

<3 thank you, Pricey!

So much great stuff: the karaoke machine, Joyce's handcuffs (heh heh heh), his unwillingness to add more trauma to Faith's already heavy burden - although not enough to not carry her around like a sack of potatoes - and especially Joyce being perceptive and intelligent. Love. It. All.

I did not expect the trip to LA, but am looking forward to seeing this play out.

[flowspuffy]

He still hasn't forgotten that Faith has punched him in the face back in Sunnydale. Hence the sack of potatoes treatment. ;-) Thank you for reading and commenting <3
