Nothing Ventured

It's my spring_spangel posting day. Had thought it was the 4th, or even the 6th, but no. It's today. I've been away all weekend and only got the beta'ed version this morning, and have been wrestling with it ever since. I hope I've managed to make it better, but have got to the stage where I can't tell anymore, so I'm just going to post it.

Setting: Goes mildly AU in BtVS season 6, between Hell's Bells and Normal Again and in AtS season 3, between Couplet and Loyalty.
Pairing: Suppose this category should be superfluous in a story for spring_spangel but anyway, Spike/Angel, mention of Angel/Cordy and Cordy/Groo, and veiled references to Spike/Buffy.
Rating: NC17 for m/m sex. Also, Spike in my head was particularly foul-mouthed this time, for some reason, and there may - just may -be the occasional mention of Spike's bum.
Beta: Beta'ed at the last minute and in record time by peasant_. If the ending is still crap, it's very much my fault, not hers.
Author's note: Attempts some explanation of why Spike went from being sweet and resigned about him and Buffy having broken up in Hell's Bells to all "You love me really, you just won't admit it to yourself," in Normal Again, because there's buggerall explanation in the show. It's also one of those 'that one time' stories.
