  Summary

  A look at Spike and Buffy's relationship if Spike was a little more in touch with his inner William. Begins in early Season 5.

  Potential triggers will be added to the tags as they come up, and will be mentioned in my notes at the start of chapters. Blanket warning for Buffy-style violence and Spike's language.
