Thanks! It was fun, if a bit too full of run-on sentences.

There were three girls out at the house on Revello Drive who needed something to love, something to spoil, something to get their minds off the absence of the blond around whom their lives had revolved, but who was now gone.

"sniffles"

Spike thought back to William, alone and wanting to love and be loved with the very core of his being, and thought back to his always associating the hound with William, and did something he never thought he would: he turned his back on his intended night of drunken debauchery, lifted the heavy dog in his arms with soothing coos he would deny ever came out of his mouth if questioned, and set out for Revello Drive.

Waaa!

Ooh! I'm quoted! Thank you, and glad you liked it, even if it made you cry!

Hi,

just read this and wanted to say just how much it really fits Spike's character on the show; his uniqueness as a vampire (and I can't help wondering if a great part of that uniqueness; that Humanity was because of Dru's 'insanity', or the fact that she was made that way before she was turned..?), as well as his drag-my-feet-kicking-and-screaming attitude to his growing feelings for the Scoobies, which had very little in the end to do with whatever his feelings for Buffy were.

Oh, and did I say I LOVED IT!

Thank you for this piece of loveliness, especially for the image of Spike using the same calming techniques to help get Dru through her 'horrors' because, after all, not all 'trips' are good ones.

Still under Willow & Tara's spell,
Ray.

This is one of the sweetest replies I've ever gotten for my work! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you got all the nuance I tried to put in there about Spike's past and his attitude for the Scoobies being projected onto the hound.

Awwww - this was very sweet. I could easily see it happening.
