I'm so excited every time anyone leaves a like or a kudos, adds my story to their bookshelf, or writes me a comment! It really makes my day that anyone even remotely enjoys the words I write in the order I write them!
I've recently signed up for Ko-Fi, so anyone who wants to leave a tip can but honestly the support and drive that the fanfiction community have given me is so precious and wouldn't be able to be tallied in monetary value even if I tried.

Of course, those never worked for her—not since her mom had died, anyhow—and even if they did, she’d never ask for them from Spike.
But this was working.

Jeans were out. Slacks were out. Shorts—
She pinched her eyes shut to try and block the mental imagery. Shorts were a complete and absolute no go. Not while…
Not while…

Buffy stared in horror. “You want me to find some stranger with a bad case of the fungals and rub up on them? That’s your plan?” Giles winced. “That’s a terrible plan!” she shouted.
“It’s not ideal,” he agreed.
Hellflower spores but once a year, and the only way to get rid of it is to rub up against someone with the same infection. Lucky for the residents of Sunnydale, it only infects one or two people at a time. Unlucky for Buffy, that makes her options… rather limited.

And besides, it doesn’t take an emotions-eater like Clem to realize Buffy’s got her own agenda where Spike is concerned.
