I wrote it for whedonland and never posted it here until I realised when I began indexing that it was only on AO3. I decided to just link to that entry. Indexing is raising all sorts of minor issues I need to fix like this, with things not crossposted or poor formatting or not fully tagged, so for that alone it's worth the effort when I can be bothered to index :D
I never really thought about it, but yes, Spike is more innocent. I think when we see him as a human he's so naive and sensitive that perhaps that carried over, though as you say, he tries to hide it beneath tough talk.
I wish I'd tagged more efficiently from the start, but even now I'm finding new things to tag like series title and themes that I revisit often. It's another thing that's worth the effort though, to keep tags up to date where possible :D
