So this is a story I read a long time ago, but really loved.
Basically, before he could release Acatha, Buffy dusted Angelus. Driven (more) insane by her sire's death, Drusilla attacks Buffy but before she can kill her, Spike saves Buffy by dusting her.
Soon after, to comfort each other, they sleep together in the mansion and later she stands up for him against the Scoobys when they catch them together.
I also remember not long after, Giles and the Scoobies are trying to push Acatha out of the mansion but is having a hard time |
