Oh, this is truly wonderful! Totally in the spirit I was looking for. Clever, in character, with just the right elements of light and darkness, past and future... Very nicely themed.
Good lines: "Spike/stalks away, his body nearly transparent and touching nothing."
"When he’s around Spike, being a monster is easy."
"he’s a monster, a thing./A thing wouldn’t know how to love (no matter that Spike always found a way)"?
"the graveyard of fear he lives in"
"he looked beautiful dappled in come/and bruises and bright red hand prints, his curls pushed up away from his face…" (Woo, hot image.)
"fingers tracing Spike’s/ non-existent body"
"That’s the way/the past works, sweet and simple."
