Feedback: Yes

Archive: The Attic

Rating: PG

Pairing: S/X

Spoilers: All seasons, just to be safe.

Disclaimer: I do not own Spike and Xander. I own the window, and the room.

Summary: Spike can't let go. It's Christmas.

Warnings: Non-sugared Christmas fluff. Is there such a thing? Umm, and some sadness maybe.

Notes: The movie 'The Last Leaf' has had an impact on my life. It continues to show itself now and again. This is one of those times. I say 'movie' because that was the medium used to introduce the story to me. There is an online free-to-read version of O.Henry's short story, 'The Last Leaf', (which the movie was based on) for those interested.
