WOW...Shipper...this is awesome.!!!!!!
Your story grabbed on and wouldn't let go right from the start.
Poor Spike though....all those possible fantasies and he never in his unlife imagined one like this, huh?

After 17 years...I'd say the Buffster is probably pretty pissed at Blondie Bear never letting her know he was back...but I have faith that she meant her words when they last parted, so I think there will be a way to get uhmmmm... this reunion back on track.
At least...I hope so......sigh.
