And then she kissed him - and you left it there! Loved the idea of Xander with the flamethrower, and Buffy's comment about Giles. Loved the way you edited scenes, and just let us see enough to know what happened, w/o having to go thru the blow by blow.

Maybe Buffy has realised what she so nearly lost.

what i fun way to end the update. "And then she kissed him." very good read, thank you.

Things are looking up for them. Poor Tasha, feeling like a voyeur when Spike and Buffy are together. Update when you can, that's all you can do. Really enjoying this, thanks.

Awwww - lovely little slide into something hopeful.

I like Tashi's alternate POV for a change and to get a picture of how people are responding to each other strictly from visual and verbal clues.

Oh I love the end.

Great chapter!

Great update looking forward to more.

Always worth the wait. Nice picture of current slayer vs vamp situation. Good Xander interchange.

Have I mentioned yet how much I love your original characters? The insight into Tashi this chapter was great - especially the line "If she went down, would she rise again?"

I liked the aftermath of the fight - and woo! Spuffy kissage! Hope it's not too long before the next update.
