gilloIt's been way too long - dunno if anyone is still interested, but here for the determined reader, is the latest chapter of my current WIP.
Once again, many thanks tobogwitch for being such a careful and patient beta and spikes_heart for cheerleading and encouragement!
Title: Darkness Visible
Pairing/Character: Spike and Anne plus a new Special Guest Star
Rating: G
Spoilers: Everything up to and including NFA
Disclaimer: I wish they were mine, especially Spike, but they are Joss’s. He really did say we could play though.
Story so far: Things in LA have remained dark after the battle, and demons of all sorts are partying. Spike has met old and new friends and acquaintances and is trying to make some sort of a difference.
Feedback? I yearn for it.

Chapter Three is here.
Chapter Four is here.
Chapter Five is here.
Spike and Anne have brought their rabble of street kids and refugees to a hostel on the outskirts of LA, looking for somewhere a little safer. The last chapter ended:
Deep below him the scratching sound he’d been tuning out for a while seemed to be getting louder. Time to investigate. He put his shoulder to the heavy furniture, shifting it away with a rumbling, grating noise. Oh wonderful – this would alert anything. He tuned his hearing to its sharpest level. Nothing now.
Trailing his hands down the pocked walls he stepped carefully downwards. It was gloomy enough above, but here he had to rely entirely on his vampire senses. He could just make out the foot of the stairs and a narrow corridor leading off to the right. An ideal place for an ambush. Whatever nasty it was down there had to be bad news or it would have shown up before now. The cheerful calls of his pack of teens was about as unthreatening as you could get.
He snarled and threw himself down the last few steps, twisting to face the direction of the menace. He landed lightly on the balls of his feet, balanced evenly and ready to attack. Ten feet away, gripping a huge baulk of wood above its head, a demon waited for him.
