Ack, ack, ack, I love this one! OMGosh, Spike + books = flaily!me.
(Thinking that, it punches her with a knowing moment, that Angelus did that for him, or something like it, sometime long ago. And Spike probably scoffed, and kept the book, and can still recite the poems by heart. That totally makes sense. That happened.)
Yes! And I love the idea that she knows them, including evil!them, well enough to guess this and believe in it (especially since I'm sure it makes her uncomfortable to think about Angelus).
He’s chained in a basement in a houseful of children he’s not allowed to eat.
LOL, this makes it sound like there are children outside of the house that he is allowed to eat.
(and how weird is it to be able to do that? His vampire senses are overwhelmed by the houseful of Slayerettes. Doesn’t immediately know Buffy’s there, not always. Not when he’s reading.)
!!!
I love S7 fic and introspective!Buffy and layered!Spike, and this is all just so lovely.
