Much as I love the awed look on Spike's face in Afterlife I like his finding out this way much more for Buffy's sake.  Hope he gives the Scoobies an earful and doesn't let Xander drive him off.

Excellent!

Hope your Christmas was lovely and that your New Year is nothing less than spectacular.

Excellent - reigned in powerful emotions - everything ready to makes its way into their lives. 

Can't wait to read the next chapter - well done

Good set up.  Hope Spike starts yelling now.  :)

So Spike figured out what happened (Scoobies). Even if Buffy if different now I hope she'll be her old self again. ~ Looking forward to more.
Merry Christmas to you too. :)

Like how this is written as compared to the story line on the TV Series, always felt that Spike, had he known what the Scoobies were up to, would have been smart enough to stop them or if not then at least dig the coffin up before the ritual.    Okay, ready to read where Spike unleashes his wrath upon those who do not think things through.   BTW, why didn't Anya being a thousand year old being not think of digging up the coffin?    She, of all people, should have realized such a thing, unless, all she thought about was the cost of the ritual to her pockets and the resentment she holds for Willow.   Look forward to the next chapter.

Thanks so much for another update so soon. I'm very interested to learn how Buffy will handle all of this. Happy Holidays to you!

love it please update soon

Let them have it, Spike!

A very believable 'what if?' scenario. I look forward to seeing where you take it.

KICK THEIR COLLECTIVE DUMB ASSES, SPIKE!!!  *fist pump*
