Really loving your universe where people do the right thing without unncecessary angst.  Angst has its place of course.  But Buffy really thought about Spike instead of leaving him alone all beaten up. 
Thank you so much!

Well, much better than the original.

Thank you. This Buffy is just in a different place emotionally, but she still doesn't want to be a killer.

lovely chapter - glad she didn't beat up spike this time!

Thanks. This pair is at a very different place.

After everything Spike had done for Buffy her taking care of him was nice. Even though she didn’t do a very good job I like that she at least sort of apologized. Her talk with Tara was very enlightening and seemed to help her sort a few things out.

Thanks. This was a tough chapter to write.

very good read, thank you. love the tara-buffy conversation.

I thought Tara was a good person to have this conversation with. She wasn't around for all the Angel/Angeles stuff, so I would think it's easier for Buffy to discuss it with her. Thanks for reading and reviewing. Hope you'll continue to enjoy it.

This story is just so well done. So sweet, but not too much.

Thanks so much!

High time you got over Angel, Missy!

Indeed! If he can move on, why can't she?

I hope that this Joyce will support her in her relationship with Spike. She may want normal for her daughter but she should know by now that's not going to happen. Glad Buffy's finally putting Angel behind her and she's got Tara to confide in about Spike. Great update, thanks.

Thank you for the feedback. Eventually Joyce will indeed have to accept that Buffy really isn't like other girls.

Joyce, just focus on your daughter being happy, and alive. And you know Spike will do whatever it takes to keep her living.

Interesting, that you had them find out about Connor. Works with this story, though. Took them a while, since Connor was born back in November...

Very glad that Spike didn't end up with a face that looked like hamburger this time.

Well, I'm relieved that I didn't have them finding out about it *before* Connor was born at least.

No beat down in my story, but I do think Spike's lack of empathy is an important point, which is why I kept the argument in.

Thanks for all the feedback.

but it's the *right* vampire this time, joyce! i like this version of dead things much better (even if there were no handcuffs involved ;) ) lol...great chapter, looking forward to more :)

Yes, I realize it was a serious departure to have a merely R-rated Dead Things chapter :) Glad you liked it, hope you'll enjoy what's to come.

Fantastic job. Can't say enough good things about this fic. Looking forward to reading more.

Thanks again! Thirteen is coming along, so hopefully I'll have it up soon.

Loved Buffy's way of apologizing and that bit at the end, very true to season 6 just healthier :D.
Also I find it Very interesting that-and how- you'd write Buffy finding out about Connor.

Thanks for the feeback! I wanted to find a way to get Buffy to evaluate what good it was holding on to this idea that Angel is The Perfect Love She Cannot Have. Finding out about what he's been up to in LA is a good prompt for that, I thought.

isnt that a good thing??

To me? Yes. To her mother? Not so much.

Thanks. I was nervous about this one.
