Thank you and I'm sorry this took so long. I like moving the action forward and I find that I'm not a big fan of the "and then" style of writing that logs every single thought and deed of the characters in minute detail. I like to hit the high points, as it were and not catalog the bathroom breaks.

Also, a bit more honestly, I don't pay much attention to Buffy. This story is told mainly from Spike's point of view with an occasional shift to Xander. Without following Buffy, a great deal of the show falls away and so it is with this story.

I'm glad you enjoyed this and my apologies for the tl;dr.
