great start - looks like this will be a good story - I like your use of words and how you connect the series with the characters -

Good Luck with this piece -

“Wish granted.” now that is a scary way to end the chapter. very good read, thank you.

It always seemed sad too me when Spike dismiss Harmony because she was an airhead/vampire.  It's nothing new in the world of Joss, but I had hoped Spike would have championed her just a bit.  (Seeing how he had to deal with such intolerance while he was evolving.)

Oh well, great chappy off to read more.

he was able to fence some of the knickknacks he’d swiped from Angel’s penthouse.   Heh heh -there' s the Spike we know and love. 

Like the way you expanded out Spike's dumb butt thinking on why he didn't go to see Buffy.
