glad to see this update. very good read, thank you.

Really good dialogue! Wonder what Spike will do once he's back in commission? 

So glad to see this update, it's been a while.  Thought the name sounded familiar though.  Surprized to find that Tara is a vamp though, but I suppose it makes sense.  What's a little odd is that Buffy didn't dust at least one of them when the building crashed - seeing that Willow wasn't hospital bound.  But then that would have changed the story considerably, especially if she'd managed to dust a stunned Spike!  Please try to update a little more quickly this time (says someone who's left a story hanging for years - I really do intend to finish it).  Anyway, know how it can be, and jsut FYI am trying to encourage you to continue writing and positng.
