Glad that at least Anya and tara are showing real sense now. Angel was too jealous and it makes me happy to see Dawn call him on it.

This is such a great hurt/comfort story, as well as a reimagining of Season 6.  I'm really intrigued to see how you've managed to weave elements from the show into the story (Tara and Willow confrontation, for example).

Oh wow! I don't know what else to say. Just wow. I cannot wait to read more. Please update soon. I love it so much!

Super update, loved the Spuffy bonding. Given Willow's betrayal she should move out, don't see how leaving for a night will solve anything. Looking forward to more.

At least Tara and Anya are understanding, Angel hates Spike to much or he could be understanding. It will be interesting to see how you make Giles. When he will see her she will still be broken so he should be understanding. He will probably be a bit sceptical about Spike, but he should be able to understand, or not, just have to wait and see. 

Love brassy Dawn and waiting patiently for Willow to get her butt kicked and I teared up when Buffy asked Spike to take her back. 

At last Tara has stood up to the others, though how much notice they are really taking is another matter.  Loved the interaction between Buffy, Spike, and Dawn, very autentic.  I'm really enjoying this and look forward to Giles' arrival.

Such tenderness in the scene with Buffy,Spike and Dawn, beautifully written. And remember housework = only dull women have immaculate houses! We need you more, honest.

Willow did so much damage.  Buffy is finally back to where she was in the first chapters.  Please, please continue on the path to more progress.  It's funny that Spike with his gentle soothing tones is so totally the opposite of his reputation.  And the others, except Dawn and Tara, seem to be oblivious to the cacaphony of noise their voices create.

Wonderful, touching update, thanks.

Can something disfiguring happen to Willow? It's all about her isn't it? Her feelings and wants and needs. She can't pack a bag and spend the night some where else for one night without making a thing about it? It isn't her house and she is hurting the person who's house it is. And Dawn nailed it on the head when she said Angel was jealous. He figured he could ride to the rescue and he wasn't the knight in shining armor this time and it pisses him off. Xander made Dawn cry. For that alone he should get warty boils somewhere personal. 

The scene with Dawn and Buffy in her room broke my heart. And poor Spike, Buffy wants to die and he's right he technically would be doing the right thing by letting her go back to heaven but he can't. It would kill him and Dawn to lose her again.

I  hope Giles is on board with Spike staying with her. She doesn't need the stress. As much as Giles doesn't like Spike he is usually a practical man.

Yay for Tara and Dawn and a modicum of common sense. More please.
