I just re-read it and I had a big goofy grin on my face the whole time! Not even because of the fantasies, really (although I do love the attention to detail there) but because: scenes! Together! Action! Banter! Such undeniable sparkage!
I loved that "dark place" line, I found it very intimate and comforting, but I'm not 100% sure she said it out loud! When I first read through it, I figured the kiss panel was the only part that was a fantasy, and I based that on the light being all glowy and the decor disappearing. But slaymesoftly pointed out that Buffy gets up and takes the towel off her shoulders when she apologizes to Spike. When it flashes back to reality, she's still in the chair. So, possibly she never got up in the first place.
(See, this is why I get annoyed by dream sequences!)
I'm so glad we got such an awesome Spuffy fix this month, because it'll counter-balance all the fretting I'm about to do about Joss possibly killing off Dawn. *wobbly lip*
