I've just read all the chapters, and I'm loving this! I wasn't sure about it for a while, from the summary, but I'm glad I decided to give it a go. The way the role reversal has changed things so subtly but with such a difference is excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing where you take it from here!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it! I love writing Buffy as the outsider- it gives Faith her due and at the same time, allows Buffy to perceive things unbiased... New chapter up already! :D

I seethat although she's had three years in the real world, Buffy's still hung up on St Angel!
It's really a shame...but maybe Spike can change her mind! :D

Yay! Was finally able to read all this!
The last chapters were all great too.
Wow...apparently Buffy has never larned history/current events if she thinks that all human criminals have guilt running through their mind after they've killed someone. Let's see Nero, Caluglia, Count Dracula, Elizabeth Blathory, Hilter, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Stalin, do I really have to go on?
And really Buffy- a vampire being able to feel any guilt at ALL, even over people he cares about, that's big. And as to not feeling guilt over other people? Who cares as long as he doesn't hurt said other people?
Oh Buffy *sigh* Though I do understnad why she wnats to cling to the no soul means evil idea- it means accepting that someone you loved so much (even if it is the past) didin't love you the way you loved them. That's a painful revelation to make, but there comes a time when you need to accept it and move on.
And all of the Scoobies are honestly making me sick over the Willow/Tara. Tara is being abused in an even more horrible manner than normal- how can they think that's right. Get backbones people and stop enabling the abuser! Oh, and you've made me hate Xander again- when he was going on how it wasn't their buisness I wanted to leap intot the screen and throttle him. That's just the approch that let's so many abusive relationships continue. It doesn't matter if Willow's a friend- what's she's doing is wrong. I like that Buffy can see that and not make excuses.
And yay for kissing! Hopefully she doesn't go all denial girl like normal. Or it doesn't lead to the hateful, angry sex that was season six (so the angry part was hot, but the hateful part was terrible) because I don't know if I can read that again. lol
Can't wait for more!

Wow! Longest. Review. Ever!
Buffy has a bit of a selective memory when it comes to souls and the like, but maybe Spike can change her mind...I don't see this Spike getting a soul, even for her. He's much more confident and accepted in his humanity. Hopefully, Buffy can come to terms with what happened with Angel... she's never had the opportunity to confront the long-term effects in this 'verse, although she will, in time. :D
The Scoobies are acting like they did on the show- shameful, really! Just because Willow's their friend, (and the old Willow/Tara relationship was such a good one, pre-Dark!Willow) they're not willing to instigate anything! Lucky that Buffy's outside of the situation and can see clearly...
I can't imagine that Spike here would let Buffy use him like that- now he's got friends and family and a reason to keep their relationship a secret...but I guess you'll find out soon... :D
Thank you for your review! As always, a delight to read! :)
