Show, Don’t Tell (1/5)

This entry is part 1 of 5 in the series Show, Don't Tell

It’s April 20th in my time zone!  I hope I am not stepping on anyone’s toes in an earlier time zone by posting at the crack of 12:30 AM.  Today I have a 25,000-word fic in five parts.  Assuming there’s no Internet failure in my hotel later, I will post everything today.  Thank you so much ladyofthelogsnickficangearia, and all the taggers for maintaining this wonderful community!

Summary: Anya wants to know why she never sees Spike’s bite marks on Buffy’s neck. Buffy wants to know why Spike never asked her to do anything of the sort.

A/N: This fic is set in my post-NFA verse in early 2006. A complete list of the fics in the verse is here, but it’s not necessary to have read any of them to read this. All you need to know is:
-The PTB rewarded Angel, Spike, and Gunn for destroying LA’s W&H by saving Gunn’s life and resurrecting Cordelia and Anya at the vampires’ requests.
-After spending two years in London the Scooby gang moved to New Sunnydale, which has been rebuilt but is not a hellmouth, in summer 2005 to open a second, U.S. based slayer academy.
The established couples are Buffy/Spike, Anya/Xander, Willow/Oz, Cordelia/Angel, and Dawn/Gunn.

Thank you again to the mods, and thank you so much everyone who has commented on previous chapters!  It’s going to take me longer than usual to respond individually because I am traveling for the next week and will have sketchy Internet access, but I am so grateful for your kind feedback thus far.
