Fic update: How the Light Gets In (9/?)

I have another chapter to post. This will be the last of the vacation posts; after this I'll be back at work and back to writing veeerrrrrry sloooooowwwwly.

Of course if I had any impulse control, I'd keep this post under my hat for a week or so while working on the next chapter, so that I could post them at more regular intervals. But, of course, I don't! So I continue to subject you to my binge/purge writing schedule.

New this post: I'm putting a "Previously, in the Fragments 'verse" summary before the chapter, to help you with the keeping track.

So, here we go!

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: Spoilers for all of BtVS and AtS. 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.
