Post all night if you have to. I'm sure the awesome insomniac powers of the bitches can manage to cover a few time zones.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yes, yes we can. Heaven knows I'm probably good until about 2am Pacific.
Cindy and Bonny, it's very good to see both of you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Compassionately intolerant
I'm headed to bed, but will probably be up by about 3am, if I end up being true to form. I'll check in then.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maria, I wish I could be closer. My thoughts are with you.

move out and draw fire
Maria, if you want/need, you are welcome to stay with me. I know it's kind of a hike, but there's a lovely guest room. Or Mal and I can come up and entertain you.

Punishingly Intricate
Maria, can't add much to what everyone else has said but I am thinking of you.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I felt terribly guilty for not getting back to everyone who sent such wonderfully supportive messages. I did my best but the energy just failed me.
I hope you can let go of that guilt, Maria. I think most people who write to tell you that they love you when you are going through something like this understand that the last thing you have the energy to do is respond to each and every message. Their reaching out is a gift freely given, with no expectations of reciprocation.
My heart aches for you. I hope you can get some rest tonight.

Maria, don't worry about that. I still haven't managed to write the thank-you cards to everyone who sent condolences and messages to me last year. When I fretted about that to my therapist, she pointed out that anyone who cares enough to send a message will also care enough to understand that sometimes replying is almost impossible.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I just smiled, shook my head and glanced at my computer monitor. "Nope. I'm never actually lonely."
It's such a comfort to have people that we an share both the pain and the joys in life.
