Wonderful short fic. Please continue!

But but but . . . nothing HAPPENS.

This is so beautifully written, but then . . . it just STOPS.

Write MORE.

Beautiful, as always. You make me actually feel sympathy for Buffy (which I've been finding more and more difficult as Season 6 progressed). Some favorite bits:

"Not beneath me anymore. Maybe above now. You're a better person than I am, Spike. Better than I've been in a very long time."

"She hates him too. Hates him for risking everything to get a soul because he thought it's what she needed. Maybe she did, once upon a time, but that was before four long months without him. Months of longing and self-recrimination and hating him for leaving her. Hating herself even more for making him leave."

Guess I shouldn't quote the entire story here, eh? But it's that good. Thank you so much, Wisteria.

Great story, are you sure you can't be convinced to write a second part?
