Summary: When Spike calls upon a vengeance demon to grant him a wish regarding the Slayer, it comes with... unexpected consequences. Magic always does, right? But now Buffy is invincible, carefree and unemotional, more focused on going out with that cute doctor Ben than protecting her sister, while Spike is bearing all the physical and emotional pain of both Buffy and himself.
And Glory's still out there somewhere.

Story Notes: So I was just thinking about how Spike would bear every scrap of Buffy's pain if he could, even if she never knew or appreciated it. And I was gonna post that as a challenge, but I started thinking too hard about the premise until I actually started writing the story in my head, and, well, here we are.
I don't think it's gonna be that dark, or deep, but since it is still being written and will be dealing the concept of pain, a LOT, the ratings and warnings may go up. But if you've read my stuff before you know how tame and fluffy I tend to be, so we'll see, haha. It's gonna be kinda short, like nine chapters? I refuse to ever make any promises of how frequent updates will be though, because anything I say is gonna be a lie.
A million, million thanks to honeygirl51885 for claiming my banner request almost immediately; I was just so warmed by that gesture! And even more thanks to her for the pretty she provided me with, because it's beautiful and just so clever and creative and is exactly what I wanted!
And of course... all my love and thanks to my beta reader trevino. Who is just incredible and attentive and always knows what to say, and I'm so grateful that she agreed to read this one over!
