So much more what I would wish for Spike and Buffy - this idea that he does not need a soul to transform himself from total evil vamp.  Especially now with the season 10 comic books where everything about them and their relationship is predicated on the "Spike must have a soul" to be able live as a vampire that can control his demon.  

“A vampire with a soul? Oh my god, how lame is that?”
That!s what I've been telling all the time!;)
Loved the chapter,it was quite funny:D

Nice and subtle Angel bashing.

loved the update, thank you. "...how shallow would I have to be...." had me lmao.

lol...too funny...i love the thoughts you've given them all, the between the lines stuff we didn't get in the episode :) excellent work as usual, love :)

Very nice. Have to love how much Randy instinctually trusts Joan. Not to mention her thoughts about the uselessness of his having a soul.

Like the way they feel about each other. So natural for them, glad you're exploring this aspect of the episode. Thanks for the update, waiting for more.

'God, how shallow would I have to be to be with someone under a stipulation like that? I think that Randy would be okay even without a soul. I sure don’t think he has one…'
Wow, will Buffy remember this when her memories return? If she does, I'm looking forward to her reaction.
Great chapter.

I like this so far--looking forward to the breaking of the spell.
