Summary: Set in season 5 after Fool for Love. It picks up where the episode left off with Spike and Buffy on the steps. It fills in the blanks of what might have happened between them. Follows canon and then goes AU. Joyce is sick but won't die because I love her too much and it's me writing not Joss.

Okay this is my first fic and my first chapter. I've been posting on another Spuffy site but figured I should spread it around to get a broader opinion on my writing. Constructive criticism is welcomed as well as any thoughts readers might have. If you spot any problems let me know.

So chapter 2. A nice chat between Spike and Buffy and some realizations. Let me know what you think.

Chapter 3 is here. This is pretty much canon with the events and dialogue but with some background scenes and character thoughts thrown in. The rest of the story will go more AU after this.

Okay so since I have most of this story written already I'll probably post two chapters a day. Chapter 3 just went up so make sure to read that first. Reviews are welcomed and appreciated as I like to hear people's opinions, it also helps me know where the story is going.

Disclaimer yadda yadda, I own nothing etc.

Another update for all you lovely people who've been reading this fic. I feel bad for not writing iyt for a while, especially when I'm so close to finishing it. So no more distractions until it's complete...I hope. I'm just going to have to chain my muse up and make it focus on one fic at a time.

This was beta'ed by the wonderful SanityFair so any mistakes you spot are mine.

An update. Have been having difficulties getting stuff to my beta readers. Any mistakes you see are mine and not theirs. Thanks to Sanityfair and diebirchen for going through this story for me. They are the reason it's readable.

Thank you to everyone who has been reading and reviewing this. We're coming to the end of this fic and everything is kicking off for the big showdown soon. Hopefully this chapter answers some questions, or maybe gives you new ones. Now, Ben is Glory?

So sorry for the delay. Took a while to get edited for various reasons, mainly mis-communication and scheduling difficulties, but it's here. I promise I'll do my best to get the final three chapters up much sooner, and keep the updates regular. I've missed posting and I can't wait to mark this fic as complete.

Thank you to Sanityfair for being a wonderful beta. Any mistakes left are mine and not hers. Thank you everyone who's been reading and reviewing and adding this to their favorites. It means so much to me, and I hope you enjoy the final chapters.

Final chapter. This is it. The end of our tale. There is smut, there is fluff, and there is humour. I hope you all enjoy it. A big thank you to everyone who has supported this story and continued reading right to the end. You've given me great confidence as a writer. A huge thank you to my betas, particularly Sanityfair for all her hard work, and a thank you to capella for making me a lovely banner which I would have posted here if I knew how, lol.
