If this site's sub-title wasn't "'Spuffy with Bite", I'd think Red and Spike were going to end up together. This is very suspenseful.
LOL - they are interesting together I'll say that.  I've read a couple red/spike fics and they were fun.

Now my heart really goes out to Spike.  He thinks in his heart that he is not enough for her or the rest of them.  But as always he is putimg someone else first.  I just hope that Willow will be able to get through to him now that the genie is officially put away.
Yeah, he does - but he does have enough of a history to back that feeling.  Most of the time he wasn't good enough for her or the rest of them.  it'll take time, luckily that's something he's got lots of...mind you, she doesn't, now does she? :0)  Willow can talk to him until she's blue in the face, but man, the boy is stubborn when it comes to his  Buffy!

excellent spike and willow. very good update, thank you.
You're welcome!  I'm glad you liked it.  I like their budding friendship and they are fun to write together.

what wonderful writing -  your description of Spike's wishes and Willow's responses were just right, and Spike to think that Buffy would want what she once had - so sad.
I love this story and hope you find the time to update whenever you can. 
Thank you so much!  There is just so much angst and sadness in their relationship, which is why I love it - it's so complicated and so much fun to dream up situations that play that out and hopefully solve it! Thanks for sticking with it and I'm so sorry there's been a lapse in the updates - work has been very busy!

That was sadly very clever of the Genie. Almost she had won Spike just because he wanted to do good things. That was very hard for him (and for Willow too). Very tempting.
Willow will hopefully find a solution for the other problem too.

I think that's pretty much what any power like that would do - play on our desires to please others that we love.  I think, with his soul, he is essentially a good man with a bad past that he can't quite divest himself of that easily.  As for the other problem, Willow is good for that one too!  With a bit of help from her friends of course!

What a very powerful chapter, and now the proverbial cat is out of the bag. We all know Buffy doesn't want the wanker Angel, but poor Spike can't get that through poor head. I can hardly wait to see what you have in store for us.
Thank you so much!  Yeah, in my world she definately doesn't want the poof!  But she'll have to pretty much bash Spike over the head before he'll believe it!  Thank you so much for sticking with it, only a few more chapters to go!

Great chapter.  Spike's heart is so big.  It is just like him to think of everyone else and not himself.  I hope that Willow can help Spike realize how much Buffy needs and loves him.  Please update soon..
Thank you so much.  Yeah, in my mind, after all those years his heart has grown (sort of like the
Grinch! :0)  I will update as soon as my work allows me some free time from all the marking! :0) Thank you so much for reading and commenting.
