Summary: So he had won. He had survived. The universe was rent open, his soul was fetched from whatever nether-space it had been stashed in, and seared into his being like a brand. And then it began. The strident cacophony of what have I done? roared inside of him to epic proportions.

Summary: “What’s happened?” Angel asked over the phone.
“I just needed to talk to you,” Buffy said.
Another pause. “About what?”
Buffy almost blurted it out. Spike’s gotten his soul back! He’s gotten his soul, and it’s driven him mad. What the hell do I do?!

Summary: It didn’t occur to Buffy that Xander wouldn’t be bringing his housemate, or that Spike would choose to sit this one out, or that Buffy… should have issued an actual invitation. She hadn’t. She hadn’t, and Spike had a soul now, and the one thing he hadn’t been doing was invading her personal space. Which was absurd, because he actually had been legit useful lately and didn’t that mean he was part of the team again? Didn’t that entitle him to a night of awkward conversation and turkey gravy? Thanksgiving, season 7.
