Thanks to nwhepcat for the beta, azdak for the free time and deborahmm for her kindness.

Unfortunately, it's NC17 Sparmony. No, I have no idea what possessed me. There are worse canon pairings, but not many.

And this time, I'll check the link once I've posted.

Shagging Harmony Kendall (NC17)

"And because no-one believes in them either."

gah. that's really amazing, indri.

But how was I to know that someone that geeky would ever have something I want?" She flops onto her back, inconsolable.

"Well then," Spike says, finding his hand empty again, "you'll just have to suffer for your sins."

oh, i just gasped in wonder at this bit, its so perfect and apt and ironic and lovely. i can take this version of these vampires when i have abandoned even canon interpretation of them.

Be your best". Spike thinks he's been and done that and maybe it's time to move on

HEE. yes yes yes! so cool.

He takes the black pen and marks two little crosses under her name

sniff. and also, grin, because that's what he'd do, for sure, even though i wouldnt have thought of it till i read it.

This is always the worst part for him, the first time he sinks into clammy, wet flesh.

ok, this was the only bit that made me wonder... after a century and a half of shagging dru (and angel and darla) wouldn't he be used to it? i mean, given the number of happy vampire lovers we've seen in canon, don't you think they like shagging each other, even if they also enjoy the occasional warm-blooded bit on the side? actually, we haven't seen much explicit vamp/human sexuality, since the eating has always been used as a metaphor... maybe vamps by and large don't like shagging their food. maybe thats why they thought spike and angel were sick freaks to want to sleep with a warm blooded human slayer. hee. sorry, my thought process clearly is on overdrive today.

lovely fic. thanks for writing it!

So glad you enjoyed this, deepad!

wouldn't he be used to it?

Sure, in general. I don't think he had any complaints for the first hundred years. I think of this as being purely a post-Buffy thing, that he got used to the warmth and that maybe now he's a little more aware, by contrast, that he's dead and entirely unnatural.

Or that's my take anyway :)

Great to hear from you -- I hope things are going well.
