spike and dawn scene was fun. buffy should have added yet, to her no my boyfriend comment. sure seems headed that way. is susan going to be friend or foe? good read, thanks.

Glad Spike is lending more then a hand and helping with groceries. Wonder if Susan will make a play for Spike, what will Buffy say? NOT her boyfriend now but...? What does Susan know about SunnyD? This should be interesting. Thanks for the update.

Ohh!
This is looking interesting! and I love how Buffy realized that she was picking up on the wrong part of the statement:P
Great job, as always, and I am looking forward to your next update!

Thank you for yet another wonderful chapter! I always hated Susan in the Dresden stories, but you make her semi likeable, lol.

Oops!!!

Nice seeing romantic Buffy and Spike ;)

I thought Buffy was being a bit too easy with Susan. These pesky reporters are always looking for a scoop! Magic muzzle?

Great chapter. I'm loving the closeness between Spike and Buffy.

So Susan is investigating Buffy, that can't be good, and she knew Spike was a vampire.

love it more please.

LOLOLOL

hmmmm...what's this susan up to? i'm all suspicious now....great chapter, though, love the building relationship between buffy and spike...great job :)

I think the idea of getting a new friend, fresh and not embittered like some Scoobies, is great. Susan sounds like she's taking things pretty coolly, I just worry if she'll try to write a story and publish it or turn out to be a spy. I don't know if it was just flirty or if Susan might go after Spike, treat him like a person and have him respond, and we get to see Jealous Buffy.
I love Spike and Dawn interaction and how it's so obvious the three are a family in this. I hope they can shove it down some self-righteous Scooby throats! --- Sorry, I'm just a little annoyed at how they can look down on Spike. I'll try to rein in the disgust and indignation. ---
Also, I believe the demon mentioned is the unpronouncable thing the Nerds set on Buffy in Season Six. I can't wait to see how this story shows the alternate reality venom or however that might affect someone,, after all it might not be Buffy! Even if it is, I'm sure the descriptions and the worries and doubts the episode showed will be greatly expanded upon and shown.
A great update and hope to read more!

Hum.......interesting development. This Susan knows an awfull lot (or is the only resident of Sunnydale with eyes and ears that work *G*).

Love the play between Spike and Buffy and the kitchen scene was a hoot. Dancing with myself indeed!

Great update, but I could have done without the He's not my boyfriend " line got enough of that on the show, looking forward to more, your a great writer.
