Summary: Graphic Art companion to my WIP "Perfect Clarity". 
As the story goes on, I'll be crafting artwork for some scenes and publish them here, with a reference to the chapter where each scene takes place. 
Some artworks will depict NC-17 / adult rated scenes since there are some coming up. 
Please check the CHAPTER NOTES under "Table of Contents" for the specific rating of every single artwork.
 
There's no need to read the story, the artworks work perfectly as standalone pieces of art, and I'll provide a quick context for each.

Summary:

Spike: December 1998 - May 2003 

This is a declaration of love for Spike, obviously inspired by Spike’s speech to Buffy in “Touched.”
Not a Spuffy piece per se but Spike is not Spike without Buffy, and she’s always there even if we can't see her.

This artwork is the result of a collaboration with my giftee, marinaeulalia, who wrote the text you can read on the poster and co-wrote the summary and story notes.
So this is my gift to her, but it’s also our gift to the SAD community.
Happy holidays!
