Darkest Before Dawn :: A more vulnerable Spike whose life often follows a dark and twisted path

Summary: Illyria enjoys her sparring sessions with Spike -- but she is unsatisfied. Wesley is distant with her, and she is having a hard time understanding the new human-dominated world she's found herself in. Accidentally, she happens on something that creates an interest in her -- an interest in understanding other human (or vampire) sensations, besides pain. She wants to learn more about human touch, about human pleasure -- and she wants to learn from Spike.
