YAY. Oh, this is absolutely as fabulous as I always expected it to be. I love how you wove future!Spike into the S2 canon, and of course I loved the whole story of the unlikely Spike-Scooby alliance. Your whole imagining of what hell would be like and how the Scoobies survive there was excellent. The Initiative! Hah! And so many good lines! It cracks me up every time Spike refers to Buffy as "his Slayer." Heh.
So: banter. “Funny kid. Think nothing of dropping a church onto me and leaving me for dust in the flames, but get all teary about a few scratches. Some Slayer you are.”
“’Course I rate you, love. Why’d you think I stayed in Sunnydale? Killing you would be the ultimate, you know?”
Aww. That's a very sincere and heartfelt compliment, considering the source!
Being a hero was every bit the pain in the arse he'd suspected
