No apologies necessary for commenting late! Late comments are so much better than no comments at all. I'm so glad you liked the fic! And I'm glad that I was able to really put you in Spike's place. I didn't sit down intending to give the reader such a limited, foggy perspective of things, but that's how it came out. I'm glad it worked for you. :)

Oh, and I love that last scene, and it's so Buffy, in that kind of world

Yay. I worried that the last season was a little abrupt, but I really do think that that's how Buffy would approach things, when the world's already ended and time might be so short.

Thank you for the lovely comment. :)
