It felt like they threw everybody under the bus so the Spike could have his moment. (And I say this as someone who shipped Buffy with the souled version Spike for the longest time.)
I always saw Empty Places/Touched as a character bashing Spuffy fic. I've read so many Spander fics like that where all the Scoobies kick Xander out because of The Lie or whatever reason and Spike rushes to the rescue and tells them off of course. (I say this as someone whose second favorite character is Spike and enjoys reading and writing Spuffy fics.)
By the way, thank you for the reblog and the nice words over at Tumblr.
You're welcome. And I'm telling you now that I've put it in my memories so that I will rec it when time comes for the 2016 Buffyverse Top Five.
Sorry about your Tumblr situation. Creating another blog for fandom will be so much of a pain, too.
