Somewhere East of Life

Huh.  After a comment or two in my previous post, I realized I've never posted Never Enough on my journal.  I swear I had, but after looking I didn't find it.  Anyway, here's the first chapter for those of you that have never read it.  I originally posted it in two parts, hence the reason the upcoming part as the third one (though technically it's the 2nd chapter).

( Never Enough, Chapter 1 )

ETA: Okay. I found it, but only much later. So, it's posted twice. Sorry about that. *sheepish grin* There's a second and third chapter out there somewhere, but I have yet to post them. Keep an eye out.

Hey all. I've been working on this one for quite awhile, but certain parts of it consistently throw me into brain freeze. The part I'm posting now is the first half of Chapter 1, and has not been read by a beta as of yet. When I get more of it done, it'll be sent off. However, I'm just wondering how this is sounding so far. Let me know what ya'll think.

Title: Never Enough
Author: Saifai
Summary: When Spike gets his heart broken, he finds comfort in the arms of his best friend.
Pairing: A/S to begin with, but eventually X/S. Mentions B/S, B/A, and S/Dru
Raiting: It's probably close to an R, due to the few bad words spread throughout, and the adult situations. It's bound to be NC-17 at some point though...
Notes: I'm sticking by the original idea that Angel was Spike's Sire, not Drusilla. In my world, nothing changed from canon as far as their family dynamics, except that Angel and Spike had been on again off again lovers throughout their brief time together. This story takes place during Season 7 of BtVS, but it really takes off into AU from sometime between "Beneath You" and "Selfless". Xander was the one who first found Spike. Xander never tries to get back together with Anya. The boys will have enough to worry about without having the problems of the past season to worry about, so there is no First Evil haunting them for the time being.
