YEAH, more! I'm really liking this. Really enjoying Spike's self image! Especially the last few sentences! You do paint such rich pictures with your words, I can visualize every detail.
I'm just sitting here writing, so.... I'm checking often. That and my spam filter thing is broke today, so if i don't check my mail a LOT, i'll be drowning in it.
ok, from chap 3...the ashes...between Angel's ashes staining his chest, and spike buring the last things he had from the others, was such a spike thing to do. like the scar over his eyebrow or the duster. memorials for himself, and what they meant to him, and everybody else can just go bugger themselves.
and him taking xander, giving up things of some value to provide him with a safe bed, a bath, medicine and food, is another sort of memorial...for what he once was, and what he sacrificed himself for in the first place. they may not have been very close, there at the end, but they were part of something together, and that has always counted so much to spike.
Yup and yup and yup. Spike remembers, even when he wants to forget, and he won't belittle what any of them did - he may have fought Angel and sniped at Wes and Gunn but he respected them. Fred too.
Yeah, they were brothers in arms and he knows that means something. And he's no good alone, and he knows that. And Xander is a last link to something that he treasured...
i can't wait to find out what exactly the deal with xander is. how he survived and what he is now. and what he is to spike now. i love your stories so much!

Also, looking forward to Xander being a little more coherent and seeing his reaction to Spike taking care of him (also waiting for his backstory)

That about sums it up, doesn't it? I suddenly feel so very rich and spoiled.
