I liked Spike's explantion for the need for money, shame it wasn't on the show
I actually read this great essay on "As You Were" by a fabulous author by the name of theohara, which is partially responsible for my writing that chapter as I did.  If you want, drop me an email and I'll send you a link.

Thanks for reading :D

By the way,why did she come back to his crypt anyways?Was it to break up with him,or was it to say what she whispered after him in the end of the chap?
To chastise him, more than likely.  I had to have that breakup scene...so I had to get her back to his crypt.  Besides, Riley was gone--what else was she going to do?  But it definitely wasn't to tell him that she loved him.

God,you're qýite the observant and you also can link the clues together into a meaningful whole..I’m in awe of you.:D

And I loved the Spike in this chapter a lot! He did what he was suppossed to do and you should be quite proud of your fic.:)Perfect...
*blushes* Tremendous thanks alym.  I always had problems with that epp, and I'm glad you liked my assesment.

I knew sadness was on its way when Riley came into the picture, but I do like that Spike breaks up with her...very nice.
It never made sense to me the other way around--even if nothing had changed between them like in my fic. Her dumping him made the sense that's not to me.

I am so glad to see Spike stand up for himself! What a relief - this is what I wanted to see in canon - it makes so much more sense. Thank you!
Yes- Spike takes a stand, although, it doesn't mean he has to feel good about it :( Thanks for the review :D

Good old Buffy, too little, too late.
Of course it was- the poor guy is still unaware that she loves him back. Stupid Buffy... Thanks for reviewing :D

"Sorry. It's just ... you still carry around all that James Bond stuff. It's so cute! I forgot." I'va always hated that Buffy flirted with Riley when he came back. And here she took his every word. She kinda deserved to have Spike break up with her.
I still had her flirt with him a bit, but at I did also have her realize she didn't love him. Brownie points for that, right? Even though, she was still so blind... Thanks for reviewing ;D

I like your version much better. Let Spike walk away! She needs to stop treating him like a he's nothing, when he's so much more, thanks for posting. Excellent work, thanks.
Exactly- Buffy would never learn if someone didn't point out to her how much of a bitch she'd been- and I didn't want to see our Spike suffer any longer ;)

oh don't apologize for the break up, love!! i think it's great that he stood up for himself, told her off for her betrayal...excellent chapter, looking forward to seeing what happens next :)
Thanks :D Yea, "As You Were" (as I'm sure you're aware) made me want to vomit. It should've been Spike calling things off, and not her.

excellent read, thank you. the last line so typifies buffy few excursions in the real world.
Yeah, Buffy... she's a special girl, and in spit of everything she's been through, sheltered in a lot of ways. It'll get better though :D
