I feel for William.  It's very difficult to see things change when there was the a long period of immutability.

Spike (or do I better say William?) overreacted when was told the books were gone (moved). But for Buffy it was an opportunity to get to know the William part of Spike better, how he thinks. (Before, back in old Sunnydale, they didn't talk a lot about things like that).

Beautiful writing -- and a big thank you for the visit to the BM. I know it well.

Love this chapter - the new insights into Spike and William; Buffy's struggles to find balance. Wonder stuff! Thanks!

great to have this new chapter - very much liked all the info on TBM - looking forward to your next addition.

Thank you for posting this wonderful sequel. Love William, had no idea to his passion and rage at the same time showing such restraint as a gentleman. Who know all that exsisted in him. That was fantastic. Hope it won't be as long in between updates the next time. Again, thanks for sharing.

I loved the William-tantrum. Only he or Giles would get that upset over the mere relocation of books.

Awesome chapter. I love your Spike, how I can really get in the moment with him. He's funny and sad and a teacher and a fighter and a lover all at the same time. And I'd say he was definitely a dreamer.

I love this fic -- so glad to see more of it. Buffy loving Spike in all of his multi-faceted glory.

A special kink of mine, if you will.

Thank you!

adore this side of spike. very good read, thank you.

hehe, William kicking ass. Its not often that you get to see something that would really get him going. Add his fierce protectiveness over his books, and Spike's temper, and you get one hell of a show.

I was thrilled to see this updated - your stories are so well done! I look forward to more soon.

I adore this story.
