Fair warning all you Spuffy lovers, this fic deals with Spike's feelings for the slayer, but she's going to stay dead for most, if not all, of this story. Huge thanks to my beta, Schehrezade, who tells me that yes, I seem to be able to write angst.
The title comes from the real name of the Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Book of Going Forth By Day. Does that mean that this is the Egyptian mythology fic that I mentioned at WriterCon? Yes it does.

Massive hugs to Schehrezade for knocking off this fic's rough edges. Forgot to mention in the last post, the translation of The Book of the Dead that I'm using is by Dr. Raymond Faulkner. Props to him.

I swear I haven't forgotten you guys! Research has just been taking all of my time. But I'm back now, and hoping that you haven't forgotten me in turn. Thanks as usual to Schehrezade for keeping me honest.

Athenewolfe and I are working on a new fic called To Ride A Pale Horse, but I'm still working on this one. Schehrezade, beta extraordinaire, would have my head otherwise. Hope you guys like this latest chapter.

After a long, long hiatus, for which I do apologize, I'm back at writing. Sorry it took so long. Hope I haven't chased everyone off.

A/N Never fall off the writing horse. It's really hard to get back on, especially when you refuse to post the utter crap that seems to be the only thing you can produce. I think I'm starting to get my groove back, so hopefully you'll be seeing more of this soon. Special thanks to my tamp beta, Athenewolfe, for helping with this chapter.

See? I haven't given up on this. Hope you guys haven't given up on me either. I promise this one is winding down. In the meantime, Learning to Deceive is up to chapter four over at TtH, if you're interested. Thanks as usual to Athenewolfe for helping knock the rough edges off.
