Great chapter. Spike giving Xander, of all people, a pep talk. It seemed to work though didn't it? Just love that Buffy's not keeping their relationship a secret any longer, I know how happy that make's Spike and I'm so proud of him for putting his feeling's aside for Buffy, where Xander is concerned. This time Faith will know exactly Spike and Buffy's relationship from the get go, though I have no doubt that she won't test the water's at least. I like your reality for the residents of SunnyD better then Joss', as the people left, companies like Xander's would have pulled up stakes earier too. Thanks for the wonderful read Aurora, Happy Holiday's to you.

I just finished reading this wonderful and engaging story and getting to read a story where Buff and Spike forge a new a much healthier relationship was so very beautiful and special and I want to tthank you for that. I would love to see updates to this story!! You do a fantastic job with emotion and characterization of all the characters like they were on the show.

hmmm...like the spike/xander interaction, very well done...you haven't abandoned this, have you? it's so very excellent...looking forward to an update :)

Good chapter - and such wise words from Spike!

Wonderful interactions between Spike and Xander. Lovely.

excellent read, thank you. loved buufy's morning musings and her cutting faith some slack zn spike's lecture was an enjoyable read.

I'm liking your version of events much better than Joss'. Looking forward to more.

Good relating.
