Title: Retrograde – Chapter 11 – "Guilt"
Author: Guardian
Fandom: BtVS/AtS crossover
Prompt: #57 – Barophobia
Rating: R for language and suggestive situations, sexiness later on, some character abuse
Disclaimer: Joss owns all. Aside from that, I'm not a doctor, I'm just doing my best to make it seem realistic. Seriously, don't do what the original characters do sometimes.

Summary: (Spuffy) After the Hellmouth collapses, Buffy and her friends move to LA. They all believe Spike is dead, until they meet him face-to-face, as a man named Galen. Pressing questions to be resolved: Why is he blind? Is he a vampire, human, or a sex bot?

Chapter warnings: in this chapter, there are more sexually explicit Buffy thoughts. (It's mild for you guys, but I'm obligated to warn.)

Well you've done what practically no other fanfic author has done - made me read Spuffy (although I know it isn't really Spuffy yet!)
I've just read all 11 chapters and am thoroughly intrigued and will definitely look forward to more.

So many nice moments that I couldn't list them all, but I just love the idea of Angel pretending to brood when he's actually watching hockey! And Buffy obsessively worrying about her uniform and her training manuals was such fun.

You've created a really interesting set of OC's as well, because I think of Galen as an OC, and the relationship with Fred is really well drawn. I do wonder now that Fred knows about Spike whether she can continue to be as relaxed with Galen.

Lilah's making me chew my nails and I'm fascinated to learn how they got their hands of Spike in the first place.

Really great stuff, hon. I'm torn between wanting you update this or the next part of your untitled story (although I do have a part in hand to catch up on, so I shouldn't be greedy!)

I'll stop writing now before I write an essay!

You're right - it isn't Spuffy yet, but the sexing should be soon. The hardest part is going to be getting them to realistically like each other, because you know what? I hate Spuffy. There, I said it. I like it, but I hate writing the hetero. I love Spangel more, and my beta called me out for making the story more ghey than straight. o.O (I fixed that. You wouldn't know too much now.)

I see Galen as an OC as well XD My way of claiming Spike, I guess.

I'm going to keep updating Retrograde semi-steadily, because I get more reviews = more motivation.

I love you for adopting my stories. It's pretty nifty ^.^
