"It’s not like I’ve got a demon in me" Ah, sweet, innocent season four Buffy... "stake-shooting penis substitutes" LMAO “Don’t bait the nice man who’s letting you stay in his house, Spike,” Buffy said, cuffing the vampire on the side of his head with no real intent to harm. “Spoil sport,” he muttered. “If I can’t eat him, at least I can annoy him. It’s only fair, Slayer.” Bwahahahahahaha Predictably, I love to pieces Spike accidentally admitting how attractive Buffy is, and Buffy being thrown by it, Buffy calling him out on the drama queen tendencies, and just all the fun banter
Thank you. They really are fun to write before everything became drama and angst.

Giles was more than a little creepy with that whole cutting on Buffy thing.  Ew.  And how is it that Buffy can trust Spike enough to go to sleep with him in the same room?  I'm sure Spike is up to something.  :)

*nods* I hated to do that to Giles, but I can see him going into "watcher research" mode and getting temporarily carried away. This is, after all, the man who was willing to put Buffy through a Cruciamentum.  He snaps out of these Council things pretty quickly, but he is who he was raised to be.

Buffy thinks she's watching Spike, but she is trusting him to some extent. I guess between having had a working truce before, never worrying about him getting into her house and killing her or her mother, and his not killing her when he had the chance, she figures it's okay. I don't think he's given up on his ring, but he's too smart to take on a healthy Buffy who's wearing it. :)

Yes!! Another splendid chapter!! (& yet another example of your Mastery of all that is Spuffy!!)

So..! The Gem works for Buffy, as well as Spike, a very unique (& a never before done) twist. And a timely one, as it seems Riley & Co. have set their sights on both our beloved Slayer & Vampire. (& do my eyes decieve me, but did Giles have a Ripper moment there..? More trouble methinks..!) Great stuff! All of it! (But then it's you so..? Not at all surprising!)

Your grasp of the Spuffy dynamic, once again shines through! (That said, your works should come w/a warning! It's that addictive!) Cannot wait to see what happens next!

Will try to get the next chapter up tonight. I'm glad it's working for you.

Oh, I am loving this! Unchipped Spike is already changing sides! Can't wait to see where you take them. I hope it's a long one.............
LOL - well, the chapters are pretty long....  Yep, poor Spike. He was already screwed and he didn't know it.

Of course Spike would ask for a truce. He is smart enough to know when he is out numbered and needs help. Spike's plans might not have worked but only because he was impatient not because they weren't good plans. Without the gem he is an easy target for all those soldiers. And Buffy is a ditz to think they wouldn't want to experiment on her! Those guys are going to tell their boss immediately that a tiny little blonde girl tossed them around like baby dolls. Simply because they are idiots and think she is a demon. Even if they find out she isn't she is exactly what Maggie is looking for. The abilities of demons with none of the drawbacks. Human with supernatural abilities the model for a perfect solider. 

Spike is a very strange vampire. He has his own code of honor as it were. If he says truce he means it.
He does. Might take Giles a while to believe that though....
