[rahirah]

ETA: This story is now complete - I tried editing in the ending here, but that makes it too long for LJ's post limits. The conclusion is available in my journal - link below. :)

(Note: This story isn't quite finished - I am still working on the last part, and hope to have it completed by next week. I'll be posting the conclusion in my journal when it's ready. Sorry for the inconvenience!)

The Indefinite Article
By Barb C.
Disclaimers: The usual. All belongs to Joss and Mutant Enemy, and naught to me.
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: I'm just sayin', this isn't one of my fluffier stories. Highlight for specifics: Violence directed at pregnant women and small children, suicidal behavior, sexual situations that go Very Wrong.
Synopsis: Spike gets a soul. What could possibly go wrong?
Author’s notes: This story takes place in the same universe as "Raising In the Sun," "Necessary Evils," and "A Parliament of Monsters." It takes place in March 2020 in the Barbverse timeline, and contains spoilers for previous stories in the series. Many thanks to betas deborahc, typographer, wildrider, brutti_ma_buoni, kehf, & slaymesoftly. Additional thanks to shadowkat67 for invaluable plotting advice.
