Nicely done. Though the TV station's call sign is wrong. West of the Mississippi, broadcast call signs start with K, not W. :-)

Burn him indeed. Love tying that desparation and touch of cannon to their relationship. Did a wonderful job expounding on what was going through Spike's mind before he kicked her out that day. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
Author's Response: Oh, I so had to, especially since it really did (burn him alive) in more ways than one. I've been pondering it for so long...and I had to get it out. Thanks for reviewing :D

Wow, that was just wow. I am really speechless with this story. I really feel that you got wrote perfectly what Spike was feeling and go through during their relationship. You wrote the Spuffy relationship during season 6 perfect.
I agree with what the person below that left you a review. That the writers on Buffy never wanted to have Buffy look that bad because she was the hero of the show. Not to say that I don't feel bad for Buffy and what she went through. But when the people started feeling more for Spike than Buffy then I feel that the writers knew they had to do something about that. Hence Spike sleeping with Anya and the attempted rape.
I am marking this story down to read later. Thanks again for the wonderful story.
Please continue to write more.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your lovely review :D They really did downplay her behavior (hence this ficlet). And I hold Buffy responsible for the events in SR and Entropy. Anyway, I'm going to do another, set during "Showtime" for the Spike's Good Day Nekid_Spike LJ prompt.

This was truly excellent. You wrote Spike's POV so accurately, so vividly, it was wonderful to read. You also pegged the status of their relationship, with Buffy as more of the monster than Spike, perfectly, something the writers seemingly alluded to on the show but never really accomplished because they were chained with Buffy being the lead. But it was just wonderful. The "furious fucking" alliteration. The dynamite simile with Xander. The imagery in the last line. You just get Spike's thoughts so spot on in this, and it illuminates what makes season six Spuffy so compelling. Thank you for writing. BTW, can you link to the forum thread that inspired you to write this?
Author's Response: Wow...thanks so much for your lovely, thorough, kick ass review :D
