How The Light Gets In (5/?)

Yay, I survived the week! And now I have another chapter to post.

I feel like these updates are pathetically short, but if I waited 'till they were more substantial it would be so much longer in between. I choose...immediate gratification.

Thanks so much to all the very sweet people who've been reading and commenting thus far. And now, on with the show:

(For those just tuning in: this is part of my Fragments series. It's a sequel to "Late Night Porn Store Blues," which is in turn a prequel to "Human Frailty.")

Rating: R for the language at the moment. There might be some sexual content later.

Warnings: The whole series was originally just an excuse to indulge my hurt/comfort kink. Somehow a plot crept in too (funny how that happens!) but expect lots of hurt/comfort still to come. My Spike's kinda broken, and my Xander's got problems of his own.

Summary: It's a few months after "Not Fade Away." Giles sent Xander to L.A. looking for a Slayer, and what he found was a human Spike and a not-human Illyria. Now Xander's supposed to recruit one or both of them for the Council.
