Hell Is In the Details � Chapter 17 � Thereby Hangs A Tale

Anya had granted Buffy�s wish of Justice for Spike. Fine. The problem was going to be� the execution of the wish.
This particular vampire was a unique case and it was going to be a royal pain
in the ass to arrange. The hoops she�d have to jump through to set this up� and
the dangers.

And as for the dangers it presented to
Spike� Hoo Boy, Buffy was not going to be a happy
camper when she found out about the risk to Spike.

It was the specific wording of her wish that was the source of
all the trouble. Buffy had said:

�I wish one day you�d
understand how wrong your actions were, Angel.�

The problem? Everything Angel had
done was proper according to demon laws. It�s where he sold him and for what end
that was the subjective sticky part � the reason she was called.

So
the question became how to reconcile both the legality and the morality � well,
such as could be considered moral in the eyes of both Slayers and squabbling
familial vampires.

Angel
would be judged and punished according to the whims of the Tribunal judges.

Eventually.

The
part Buffy was going to go ballistic over was that Spike would be judged,
first. And, being Orderless � with nobody to speak on
his behalf, or guarantee his future behavior � he could be summarily executed
at the discretion of the Tribunal if found to be unworthy in the eyes of the
Court.

Which didn�t exactly satisfy the Justice wish
she�d made in the first place, and would probably entitle her to a second wish,
which couldn�t bring back a yet again dusted Spike, which would equal a highly
pissed off Slayer.

Oh
poo! Some days it really didn�t pay to get out of
bed.

ext>There
had to be something she could do to help the Slayer. For her to lose Spike at
this stage of the game went against Anya�s romantic
nature. Besides, between the two of them, Buffy and Spike had already died four
times. Living happily ever after would be the best form of revenge against
Angel.

The
trick would be getting Spike through the Tribunal in one undusty
piece.

Anya shook her head. Only a fucked up demonic legal
system would have the victim on trial for his life, while the perpetrator would
be let off the hook with a simple punishment. Determined to
make things right, she teleported to the Tribunal�s home dimension, in the hopes
of pleading clemency for Spike in advance.

~*~

Her arrival at Arashm�har
left her shaken. She had tried to explain the extraordinary circumstances of
William the Bloody. That he had been the wronged party and was not in need of judgment,
but the Tribunal would not be swayed.

They had informed her that their system had
been in place for millennia, and it would take more than a pretty little
vengeance demon to shake things up. Spike would stand trial first, to be deemed
worthy or not of seeking judgment against his erstwhile Sire. His execution
would be swift and relatively painless if it came to that conclusion.

At least they called her pretty.

Doomed. Anya knew she should have ignored
that cry for Justice from Buffy. Anything, anything
relating to the Scoobies was bound to cause grief and
heartache and was certainly going to ruin her standing with D�Hoffryn.

And her record had been really spotless
since her return to the vengeance game.

As humble as her nature would allow, Anya approached the throne.

�Oh, no! Don�t you dare go there again, Giles.�
Gone was the nervous girl; Slayer to the fore. �Spike would have called me the
moment he was back if he knew where I was. If he was capable
of making a call. Don�t you dare belittle what he did for the world or
for me.

�I
thought you understood! We held a fucking memorial service for both Spike and Anya in
