Ooh, this is lots of fun! :)) What a cool way to combine the prompts.

Spike's signatures are the best thing, OMG XD

"The best WHAT I’ve ever had???"
*ugly laughs while walking down the street*

"Bite me so hard"
There is NO WAY Spike is going to leave that line alone, I thought... and I was not disappointed! *g*

"Not ashamed to admit that I did."
guh. Spike has such a way of getting to the point :)

"So, did you really do that?"
Now we're talking!

I love how much fun Spike is having winding Buffy up!

"Heart in her throat, Buffy raised her fist to the door, hesitated, then forced herself to knock hard"
Yay!

And more yay! That was lovely - thank you!

Also, very pretty and fitting banner! I think teragramm did a great job.

She did a brilliant job with the banner. Especially considering it was so last minute. Major hugs and props to teragramm.

And yay! So glad you enjoyed this. It was a ton of fun to see how they'd egg each other on in the written form.

Thank you!

That was such fun! I loved the back and forth between the two of them. You got both their voices down pat. Thanks for sharing!

Loved this from beginning to end - not a thing wrong with unapologetic fluff, nope, and it was also heartfelt, hilarious, and exactly how I'd expect them to be. Totally swooned when she was at his door. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Aww! I can't believe how cute this was, what an absolute blast. Thank you so much for all the smiles :D the signatures were The Best. As was all the shameless flirting... and although I gotta say that I wouldn't have minded some smut (as I'm fond of saying, you are GOOD at smut!! I'm MaggieLaFey BTW :P), I did like what avoiding it did to the tone. Just love it.
Gotta admit one small thing... I got a liiittle bit out of my Spuffy goodness bubble with that "Say it out loud" line by Buffy. Too many memes of a certain other vampire for my brain not to go DING at that... but I still loved the story and the declaration scene and everything else, really. :D
Thank you again for sharing!!

I feel so clueless, because I am not sure what other vampire you're referencing, unless it's a Twilight thing? I've never watched the movies/read the books so, apologies for my ignorance if that is the case. If it's an Angel thing, then I am ashamed for not remembering.

SUPER glad you enjoyed it (with or without smut). I'll try to make one of the other WIPs extra sexy as a make-good. ;-)

Oh man, I LOVE that you don't know what I'm talking about, this is brilliant! Didn't think it was possible hahah well, for your education:

Honestly this is the most I've ever seen of those movies and I've never read the books either (they came out when I was firmly in my "vampires are ugh" phase... and BTW, Buffy and Spike are the only reason I'm out of there lol). But I just came across this meme so many times, I couldn't not think of it!

Definitely looking forward to more of your WIPs then, not that I wasn't before hehe!

Well, the more I thought about it, the more I figured that had to be it, LOL. I am allergic to anything Twilight-related so memes related to the franchise don't stick in my head. But yes, that is familiar, now that you reminded me! :-)

Heh heh. Banter via mash note. I love it!

Well done!

I thought for sure that Spike was going to school Buffy on her "infer/imply" mix-up - but he let it slide. It must be love.

They we get a whole long scene of follow up, and everything is good.

Weeeeelp, that might've been an author error. Actually, it was very definitely an author error. Especially since I finished this at last minute and only had the one beta look over it. Going to cheat and edit it now.

Thanks!
