well, i just found this story today, and it's pretty good! i'm rather interested in seeing how long angel lasts with spike. he's already developing feelings for spike, so it's just a matter of time. spike needs to accept the fact that he does need some help/guidance to survive that kind of life. i think the turning point for the two of them will be when angel tells spike about his past and when spike learns that he can trust angel. hope to read more soon!
