Harmony did say something about him not even being able to step on flowers. This, however, is Harmony.
I never considered Harmony an authority on Initiative chipmanship.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Thrive to spite them
I thought Harmony was just being stupid and vapid when she said that.
Speaking of Harmony I'd love to see Spike hallucinate about her.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I think if he started hallucinating about Harmony, Spike would go try to hug a sunbeam.

Snerk.
Connie, I *really* like it. I think it's gorgeous. I have one or two little things that caught my attention:
Angel reached out to touch Spike's cheek, but Spike jerked back from the touch. "Look at ye, boy," Angel whispered. "What have you done to yourself?"
The sudden Irish inflection on Angel's part jerked me out of the narration.
And, I don't know, all the "boy"s Angel says to Spike? I can't get behind it. Has Angel ever called Spike "boy" onscreen? If it only happened in the flashbacks, if it happened at all, than I'd still shy away from having presentday!Angel call presentday!Spike "boy" *so* often so easily. I could understand him slipping back into an older Angel/Spike dynamic when he first sees Spike, but I think that he would be conscious of the different distance between them currently again after that initial shock.
"William." Spike subsided.
Xander blinked. "That's all it takes? Using his real name?"
I think I *might* want to reorder this to
"William."
Spike subsided. Xander blinked. "That's all it takes? Using his real name?"
But I don't know. That's not as elegant is it? It's just bothering me that an Angel line and a Spike action are on the same line of dialogue-- my brain keeps trying to read it as though Spike were saying "William", which of course doesn't make any sense at all.
But, Connie, I love it. *Very* ME.

The sudden Irish inflection on Angel's part jerked me out of the narration.
Good point. Also about the 'boy'. All good points and I"ll probably incorporate them.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I'm so serious. I'd put it in plothatch, but I'm still trying to encourage people to actually post there.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Well, it would definitely need to include Buffy's big conversion experience where she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.
