First chapter of new fic

This fic was 'inspired' by Just Sue, so much so that it would count as plagiarism if she hadn't given me her kind permission to post it. I like to think of it as fanficcing her fanfic. Don't think I've stolen any actual lines but the overall idea, and a few of the details are hers, as is the overlapping POV in places. It's not really relevant to the first couple of chapters, I'll give details when I get to the bits I nicked. You can find her fic, Buyer Beware, here: http://redeem.dark-solace.org/

This is my also first try at writing plot, even a half stolen and barely existing one, unless you count 'Buffy and Spike get it on', and I'm not sure how much sense it makes. Hopefully it'll make some kind of sense eventually, not yet obviously, because this is only the first chapter and it's stupidly short. To be clear, everything that happened in Season Six is canon for this fic, and it starts maybe a week before Lessons.

The correct grammar belongs to slackerace, the title and quote belong to Don Mclean, as usual the rest of the credit goes to Joss Whedon.
