Summary:  It’s the summer before Season VII; Buffy is led to Spike and told he is a champion that she must take care of until it’s time for him.  She’s dubious at first, but very glad to see him again.  Important conversations are had, as they should have been, before he goes up like a candle.

Story Notes: Although, this was written for a round at Seasonal Spuffy, I started it based on a banner that I liked at a “fic for banner” community – may have been WriterCon UK, I don’t remember. Anyway, it turned out that someone else had already chosen that banner and I didn’t want to share (lol), so I chose another one and tucked this idea away.  But I wanted to tell the story, so I brought it out and tried to bend it so as to at least approach the “Humor” “Hope” themes of that round..
