And you've done something that I find I miss in alot of fanfiction. Dont mind typos I'm on my phone lol.
But seriously I love how subtly it was played that her room had to be changed with all those mementoes of her old life there. I loved the inclusion of Angel's ring especially and how it was so dusty that she hadn't touched it in awhile. God the symbolism of that wallpaper still being there underneath the paint. And how buddy's solution was to slay it off!! That is deep and how Spike kind of wanted her to see the sun which he has to miss himself and that's really powerful on the whole it's seeing the sunrise for another day. Kind of Phoenix metaphor there. I loved how she ran down to say you didn't say goodbye to Dawn as an excuse.
In fact your Buffy voice is simply spectacular. And it's in what she doesn't say either that says the most about her. That is a difficult trait to transfer from screen to paper (or word doc lol) and you so did it here, so right. Just enough holding back and a slight reveal. It's a great metaphor for her room too, with her old dusty pics..have to look and you only see it briefly. I oddly don't see the past of a heroes life dealt with in most genres for it even so kudos for examine that really human and vulnerable element.
Spike was fantastic. You really kept his voice there with just enough edge with some shadows but there was a genuine connection in how well he was reading Buffy and how they were speaking in their own language. With the looks and the words that mean much more. And helping someone change up their normal life is more intimate than most other things, how she let him in outside that darker place to a light room. God this is so fantastic and I'm so glad it's my first spuffy! I hope you are proud of this awesome and complex piece.
