"Maybe she’s just itching for this again, Spike at her back as they’re surrounded by the enemy, outnumbered and outmatched and loving it anyway." -- I know I am. And the more they battle together, the harder they will have to work to tamp down their need to be together. Unless of course Illyria continues to have the worst timing in history. :) Love how she can make Buffy so jealous. Would love to hear Illyria give a monologue about the Spuffy thing. Lovely update. More please.
