Writing has been sort of an uphill battle for me lately and I haven't been as excited about what I'm posting as I used to be... but I AM really excited about this story so here's hoping that momentum can continue!
Many MANY thanks to cd85 for the amazing BANNER! She was seriously amazing to work with and didn't back down when I told her I don't actually LIKE Spike's vampire face, like at ALL, and that I might be picky about the image she chose, lol. But she took it in stride as you amazing artists seem to do and I love the result so much!

Just a prologue to set things up, because I have no intention of going through the whole summer with Spike like this, haha!

Thanks so MUCH to everyone reading and commenting!! I'm going to have sporadic beta'ing for this story because I'm very strange and indecisive, so for this chapter all narrative clunkiness is my own.
