Story banner - From the Ashes

I spent the other day reading another of zennjenn's stories over on ff.net -- really a great story line, and the girl can seriously tell a story. Spike's not a vampire in it, but Buffy's the slayer, and it's a few years post-NFA, and well, you just need to read it to understand. It's not perfect, but it's really very good, and I definitely suggest checking it out. Your patience will be rewarded, as AB says. Oh, a link would help, huh? hahah From the Ashes

Anyway, I wanted to make a banner for it, and here's the result. I'm not comfortable blending screencaps and such, but still and all, I'm pretty pleased with it.
