I love the manip! Especially the Spike part... :) I have no interest in reading Spuffy, but I enjoyed the interaction in the fic--elf!Spike was so Spike and angel!Buffy so season 6 Buffy that it was great! (Although I have to say that I found the mention of Xander interesting as well... If you did continue the story, it wouldn't necessarily have to go in a S/B romance direction.)
