Summary
Buffy is out on a solo patrol musing over the important men in her life: Riley, and the class of demons known as vampires. (Where does all that blood go anyway?) First Spike catches her talking to herself, then he catches her lurking. It's Spike's turn to ask what Buffy is doing outside of HIS house!
All that moonlight and vampire dust are putting ideas into her head.
A little thoughtful, a little funny -

Summary
Buffy is feeling down. Spike is trying to feel nothing at all. They go out to dinner alone but a case of misunderstandings have them leaving together. Their accidental blind date turns into some interesting role playing and answers the question of just what do a vampire and a Slayer do during a five hour sexathon. It starts as fun, but there's no denying the feelings that arise when they allow themselves to connect. This is porn, but it's porn with a purpose, and lots of heart.
