Well... to be honest I'd seen 'His Childe' on ff.net and at CW, but for soem reason the summary had turned me off. So I ignored it for a long time. Then I'd read one of her otehr stories, the "Days in the Sun" series, and I'd loved it. Especially (paraphrasing) Spike's line to Joyce "She slept with me, she laughed with me, but she never told me she loved me! And then she left! She took my daughter and she left!" I got all sorts of giddies from that emotional line.
So I gave this other fic a try, and read the first 5 LONG chapters last night. Let's jsut say, I went to bed late. But I'm loving it. There's something so appealing about a tragic Spike whose suffering in silence for the sake of his true ladylove's happiness, being all noble, and she wants him but is still deluding herself but he continues to suffer anyway on her behalf, caus he loves her that much... god, I'm SUCH the sap.
