Prequel to Not Quite Home for the Holidays. Early season five, still adjusting to life with the Initiative’s chip, loathing his unlife, and resisting the after affects of a dream, can Spike hold out against the lure of the easy money? And just what does it take to get him to accept who it is that he really wants - hint: it's not Harmony. Note: I think I posted this chapter before, and then deleted it when I realized I had never posted the Holiday fic here - so if the first chapter seems familiar, it is.
