I have just spent waaaaay too much time reading everthing you have here at Bloodshedverse. How is it I've never read your stuff before? I love this story. Nice imagery to have Willow mourning her seeming loss of friendship with Buffy as being more important than the sleeping with Spike. Terrific S and B as well, love the way Buffy is slowly turning from needing Spike for sex to just needing Spike. Anyway, just wanted to let you know I appreciate your writing. Thanks.

So it seems like more and more people are finding out about this thing between Buffy and Spike, what with Dawn knowing now too. I hope Spike tells her soon about the former slayer vampire, and that she puts that together with what Tara told her about magic being wonky. How cute was Buffy's response to her coworker trying to get hooked up with Spike - just a smidge of jealousy there.

fun read, even with the tension building. thank you. i'm sure willow is now rushing home to talk to best friend.

I was worried about that, a turned slayer. It's nice to know that it's not Spike that's got her upset but the fact that Buffy couldn't tell her. I know Joss wanted to show Buffy's decent into lowliness and despair as she takes the degrading job at the Doublemeat Palace, but a self defense instructor is more dignified job. Earn more money and not smell like a grease pit. Boy is Buffy going to be pissed at him when he remembers to tell her about the slayer. Buffy was his 13th, will that be a lucky or unlucky number for him. Really enjoying this fic, thanks.

she just crossed a major line letting him into her bed...but in such a good way :) but now the secret's getting totally out, dawn and willow both know, and xan and anya on the edge of asking...hopefully they'll all come together before the vampire-Slayer becomes an issue :)

I'm liking this story more and more. That last bit in the bathroom was wonderful.

Great chapter. Love the way the ominous overtones are building. It's a shame Buffy can't be a bit nicer about Spike when he isn't there!

Oh no....GOOD idea, very good idea.

Got a feeling Anya's new acquaintance and the turned Slayer will have a connection....hum....

Loving this. Excellent update.
