Neat ending!  Good for Buffy having an eye or else,poor Giles. 

 

What an unexpected twist you put on his continuing to drink Giles's blood. Yup, that is definitely the old snarky, self-centered Spike from that era that we know and love (well, kind of love)!   You did a good job in this whole story capturing him in that transitional phase of his life (unlife!).  Thanks for the story!

oh poor mopey Spike. wonder how he got there in the first place.

Ooops, you can always rely on Xander!

Hee-hee! And don't I feel all arrogant that I know Spike better than the Slayer does.   "Your sordid secret's safe with me."
                                    

"Guys! That's not helping, andbe very worried that it's me pointing that out to you." Your version of Xan- Man is a bit more alert than I usually find him. Then again, the world can always use more lerts.

Awww poor Spike - you did that so well.  But funny as hell!

Enjoying the humour, and the interesting development of Spike being Gilesed.  Really looking forward to seeing where you're going with that.  Fascinated by the whole morality angle - will Spike's hidden humanity be channelled by 'Giles'? Will be watching this space!

A great escape -- the visuals were hilarious.

You really have the season 4 Spike character perfect!  This Spike is in it for what he can get out of it--like offering to go with Buffy to the Initiative not to watch her back but to make sure his body (with Giles in it) doesn't get damaged.  It has been a long time since I've seen this side of Spike--self-centered but yet endearing.  Great job!

I'm glad to see that Giles wasn't as quick on the draw as Spike was with the old spiked blood routine. It wouldn't have been likely he could have thought it through with such a short practice at being a vampire.

Only just found this story, fascinating premise. I can't wait to see where you'll take it. Poor Giles! I hope his experience with the Initiative makes him a bit more sympathetic towards Spike! More please.

great story - looking forward to the next chapter.

I just love how you have Giles being hit with the pain chip and having him experience what Spike did while at the Initiative.  And the whole thing with the feeding of blood.  Really good.

Well done! :)

     Not a very good typeist...er...keyboarder. Any who, this was a hootl Now would be a good time for Spike to get some of his own back from Xander! Like every line so far.

So many great lines in this fic.  I'm really enjoying it again.  Some of my favs:

“Okay, okay,” said Xander, climbing in. He was thrown back in his seat as Spike floored the car.

He stared at them seriously. To his horror they both burst out laughing.


“Good one Giles,” giggled Buffy. “Had us going for a moment.”

Spike, who, unaccustomed to his breathing having any effect, had been hyperventilating for the past few minutes managed to mutter, “What?” before passing out.

whoa! this isn't just light fluff; it is getting intense.  Poor Giles!  I look forward to tomorrow's installment. 

BTW, I love the banner you made for this series!

Fun story and more adventures coming, right?
Love the story :)

I liked the part with Spike remembering to breathe! This is an interesting concept, I'll definitely be checking back in on this fic!

This is going to be fun, I can tell already!  I'm glad you'll be posting a chapter every day. I'll check in daily to read the next part.  As one of those people hitting middle age, I enjoyed (but winced at)  the line where Giles got out of bed in Spike's body and landed with feline grace instead of his usual thud.  I wouldn't mind a body switch with a 23 year old body myself!

Haven't reviewed in a while, but you've certainly perked up this jaded reader.  Looking forward to lots of mischief.  

It was so much fun to reread this story after almost two years.  Loved the part where Spike and Giles both get hit by the demon's orange light and they get blown back. 

And the way they both wake up and realize!  So much fun.  Spike's reaction to seeing Giles in the mirror and Giles getting burned by the sun.  All great stuff. 

Looking forward to reading the next chapter again.
