Summary: When Spike wins something unexpected over a game of cards, he ends up with a most unlikely crypt-mate and a mission to help a newly resurrected Buffy. With an empathic serpent setting up shop in his head, a scheming warlock on his tail, and a bothersome change in his relationship with the Scoobies, Spike finds himself in the position to save the slayer he loves, the world, and maybe himself in the offing. Winner of Best Long Fiction at the Blood Ties Awards, Round 4, Best Original Demon and Judge's Choice at the Fang Fetish Awards, Round 2. Nominated at the Love's Last Glimpse Awards, Round 13 for best original character, Round 15 for best saga, best Spike characterization, best plot, and best villain, the Spark and Burn Awards, Round 1 for best plot, best Spike characterization, and best original character, and the Blood Ties Awards, Round 4 for best original character.

I loved him talking to Dave. That's awesome.
Author's Response: There were too many times on the show when Buffy would kick in the door of Spike's crypt and the expression on his face made me think "He was talking to something!" I'm glad you like that little quirk. Thanks for commenting!
