I am so enjoying this! Though I want to see some Spike soon! Even if it's not time for him to get to Buffy, I'd like to see what's going on with him. Is he on his way there? Did the locator spell work? Is he hanging out with Joyce while they figure out what to do??
This Angel is so shadowy. During the first new posting I half expected him to turn out to be some delusion of Buffy's, he seems so unreal. And in both parts, he's being such a ... I don't know ... lug? galoot? Yuck! (But I'm enjoying the yuck factor with Angel, such a contrast to yummy conflicted tormented Spike in love.)
As I was reading, and thinking about his backstory here, and how shadowy and terse/withholding he's being, I had this little fantasy that he came back human but without a soul. How fun would that be given Buffy's issues with Spike in this fic?
