Yet again, this story has a long plot that I've outlined to the end. I plan on finishing Accursed, first, but I'll be tackling this from time to time as well.
Character death does not refer to Buffy or Spike. After the first chapter, the Buffy/Other, Spike/Other (temp) will no longer apply.
Enjoy!

magnus374 asked about the cage in the library and it was something I needed to look up, too, before I felt comfortable using it in my story. I thought I'd share what I found in case anyone else is curious.
"A book cage refers to closed stacks that are locked off from public access by virtue of being placed inside a gated room (which usually looks like a jail cell)...Libraries use book cages for preservation and security of items that may not be tattle tagged. Special collections, loose-leaf items, archival materials, and maps may be found in library book cages."

So, I think it's entirely possible that the cage in the library was just part of the library and Giles and the others later repurposed it to store weapons, hold Oz or other dangerous-types, etc. I'd always thought it was a Giles-addition until I looked it up. The more you know!
