Story Notes: WELL, here we are, welcome to the Feral!Spike story I never thought I'd write! I said in one of my stories that I could probably never write a whole story with him this way because I'd miss our Spike too much, but then I found a beautiful EF challenge... and it's been sitting and growing dusty in my saved challenges for a while, but because I am on a S6 kick this year, I thought it time to pull it out. Besides, I love READING him this way and I have it on good authority that a lot of others do too, haha!
Writing has been sort of an uphill battle for me lately and I haven't been as excited about what I'm posting as I used to be... but I AM really excited about this story so here's hoping that momentum can continue!
Many MANY thanks to cd85 for the amazing BANNER! She was seriously amazing to work with and didn't back down when I told her I don't actually LIKE Spike's vampire face, like at ALL, and that I might be picky about the image she chose, lol. But she took it in stride as you amazing artists seem to do and I love the result so much!

Just a prologue to set things up, because I have no intention of going through the whole summer with Spike like this, haha!

Thank you so MUCH to everyone who's reading and commenting!! I'm going to have sporadic beta'ing for this story because I'm strange and indecisive, so for this chapter all narrative clunkiness is my own.
