Disclaimer: The characters from ATS / BTVS are owned by Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, and Fox studios. This story is not meant to infringe upon anyone's rights, only to entertain.
BETA: Myself, lexa4227
Rating: NC-17
Pairing – M/M, Angelus/Spike, Angel/Spike
Timeline – ATS Season 3/BTVS Season 6-AU
Summary - While Angel is dealing with Wolfram & Hart constantly attacking members of his team, Spike, still hasn't completely forgiven Angel for the events in Book 2 and is feeling bitter that Angel abandoned him. Meanwhile, Buffy is back from the dead and depressed after being torn from heaven by her friends. Together they start a relationship of sorts. None of them could have anticipated the widespread consequences of this destructive affair.
Feedback – It would be appreciated. My plot bunny has been lagging lately.
Author's Note - This story came to me after watching how Buffy treated Spike in SMASHED - AS YOU WERE (BTVS, Season 6). I wondered how Angel would truly feel, if he really knew how Buffy mistreated Spike. Yes, Spike is the Big Bad, and he and Angel normally don't see eye-to-eye, but they are family nonetheless

I Can is a charity which helps children with communication issues. As seen on Stephen Fry's Twitter - he's adopted the word 'wordy'.

And if you're in the UK don't forget to click the gift aid button so they can claim the tax back from the government.

I hate family holidays. It's not as bad as it used to be. There isn't a mind numbing soul obliterating anxiety about them anymore as there used to be. There's just a dull ache of worry and some slight stomach tremors. Really the worst bit was that I thought I'd probably never have to go to a shin dig like this again. I would go one day, I just would never have to.

I didn't want to talk about where I'd been what I'd been doing and how I was. I'm better but not so well that I can always talk about Zac or Wyoming or what was a fairy tale life that while childish and unsustainable was also beautiful. I just can't talk about it especially with people who don't get it and no one in my family gets it.

Instead I gave short answers and listened to long unending diatribes of how awesome everyone else is. I was glad they were well but I could have done without the jabs at where they were compared to me. I sincerely hope I never did that to them or anyone else, though my successes are so few and far between, I'm sure I've had little opportunity to knock some else further down that way.

In particular my cousin, who works at Fenway went on and on about how boring but glamorous her job was, how much she hated living at home (though she does nothing there but sleep and hang out), and how wonderful her parties and nights out were. I wanted her to be successful. I was prepared to hear about her success and joy so it didn't even sting that much when she kept slighting me and where I was or discarding some of the work I have to do like chores and house upkeep and whatnot.

What did sting was to find out later that her job at Fenway pays $9/hr she works no more than 30hrs a week and she doesn't get benefits. She'd sat there and scorned my retail work as less and demeaning when we make the same hourly rate, I work full time and my job gives me benefits. I don't have an hours commute by public transportation to pay for or anything.

In other more pleasant news my bro got a letter from Mass Maritime and we think it might be his acceptance *hopefully*. I've got to wait for him to come home and open it but I'm super hopeful for him. It's very exciting.

Also, they've finally corrected the comp and literacy portions of the mtels, I should finally have results and hopefully a license on the 9th. Maybe I've be able to pick up some second term work or start vigorously looking for the fall. I'm apprehensive and excited. I don't know what I'll do if this doesn't work and my parents feel strongly I'll need several other back up plans that I'm not sure how to approach but I'll have to figure something out soon I guess.

Another Monday, another chapter. This one is very much a set-up chapter, so be prepared for lots of action later this week!

Just a small batch of icons for today. And it's the last day of NaBloPoMo. I've managed to post every day and I've succeeded on WriSoMiFu and written every day. I'm going to keep the writing up into December, but not the posting. Although I do still have a lot of pictures to icon so there will still be regular icon posts.

Just back from the kids. We were going to put up their tree but it's fubar. pluged it in and nothing. Ditched it. They came over to get my tree so they could get it up before DIL has to go back to work. Darrell took one look at my 9' tall 64" across tree and just said, "No way. No room. Sorry."

They'd already carried the top two sections up the stairs from the basement so Jack carried the last section up and it's in the living room. Yay!!!

I usually have to wrestle it up the stairs myself. I sadly realized that my back just isn't up to it anymore, so I was going to give them that tree and I bought a smaller one I could handle.

Jack asked why I didn't put the tree in my back closet instead of dragging it up and down the basement stairs. I said, "You said all Christmass stuff has to be in the basement." And he said, "That was stupid of me, put it in the closet." So, in the closet it will go.

The kids will get the smaller tree I just ordered. So everyone is happy. Yay! again.

Icons - there will actually be fic as well but probably on denial so I'm posting these now.

I'm so far behind on reading it's not even funny. I read fast, but not this fast.

I'll catch up eventually but I'm only going to leave a really short comment as that is what takes me forever. So, if all you get is 'great job' I'm sorry. But I have 52 tabs open in LJ alone. Yikes!

Between Thanksgiving, my birthday and getting ready for my book binding class, time is of the essence. However, the class isn't going to happen. The people who sponsor the class didn't get the papers ordered in time. *sigh* Oh, well, that just gives me more time to read. I just rescheduled the class for January.

I lied :D Fic will be done tomorrow instead. It turned into a different prompt from the one I was intending to write lol.

( Icons )

I promise I'll try and have some fic for tomorrow

( Shinies )

Nearly forgot to post today for NaBloPoMo...

Icons.

( More tigers, more frogs, more sushi... )

I made myself one for my LJ (this is being crossposted to LJ and IJ) here and one for my IJ here.

I can make one in that style if anyone wants it or I can do one with a banner at the top, with or without section headings. Personally I would *not* recommend the style I have unless you really want to faff around with the text for ages to get it to fit exactly (too short and it looks silly, too long and it protrouds from the top and bottom of the layout and also looks silly), but that's your decision :D

Depending on what you want you may need to provide me with pictures. You'll get the graphic bits and the code and just have to paste your own bio text into it and if you really have issues I can probably talk you through it :D

Gil is technically first in the queue but until her internet comes back on I can't really get into what she wants lol.

More icons for everyone :D There's still loads of these to go. I got carried away downloading images lol.

I hope you enjoy today's chapter.
