The story is definitely starting to pick up speed. Love the little moments where Buffy tries to convey herself, because her dveloping understanding is just gradual enough to be believable and still clearly moving forward.

yay Giles is here, I hope he starts to trust Spike and work with Dawn and Spike, and that he doesn't let Angel influence everyone against Spike.

It was probably a good thing that Giles saw her like this, that made it clear how much Spike is helping her. Giles will be a big help and it seems like Angel won't make things worse at least, good it's more interesting if he's not just another problem.

Great update. It's god to see Gile's back, at least he seems to be more interested in Bufft's welfare than scoring points at Spikes expense. Let's hope he can knock some sense into the others. It's like they're squabbling over a toy. Looking forward to more.

Glad Giles isn't on the Get-Spike-Away bandwagon. Thanks for another great update.

Ooh bumper long chapter.  Good to see Giles willing to give Spike the benefit of the doubt but for me the peek at Angels's thoughts was the cherry on the cake... what a self-important berk!  Love it.

Excellent that Giles is seeing things as they are. Can't wait for the confrontation with Willow & Xander...

 I like this story very much. I want more. Update soon.

Great chapter!  I'ts good to see Buffy making progress after the backward slide with Willow.  

As usual, a masterpiece of a chapter, with everything I love: Buffy, Dawn, Spikre. I like the little family unit they've got going. It's nice. And yay, Giles is not an ass in this story, he actually listened to Spike and agreed with him. How nice. Looking forward to more.

Great chapter!  Looking forward to Giles giving Willow a good kick.  He's not going to do the Giles betraying thing, is he?  Cause that would be bad (and fun!)

I don't get the feeling that she's really insane.  Traumatized, yes, but she doesn't really seem to break from reality and go somewhere else, so much as not recognize or remember her surroundings.

Either way, I can't wait to see the next chapter.

Oh thank god. Giles is being reasonable and level headed about this! I can only hope that he finds a way to stop Willow in her tracks because I don't think she is done messing with Buffy. Not by a long shot.

Xander he will probably try something just because he is an ass.Tara is too upset to even think of doing anything to Buffy and now that she knows where Buffy was she wouldn't anyway. And no one listens to Anya. Angel is a wild card though. He hates Spike so he might try something, but he cares about Buffy so he might not.

Excellent I am really liking the plot. Is willow going to resent this horrendiously?
