The nerve of the hussy...

read the other reviews and I would like to add that I would really love to see Spike stay in Sunnydale but mainly for Dawn's behalf and to be a warrior fighting on the side of the Postive Good, be that on the side of the Scoobies or against them if needed. A mature and Spike away from his desparte need for Buffy would be such an interesting character - I should love to see a really good relationship develop between Giles and Spike, two mature, highly intelligent and educated men working together would be wonderful. As much as I am a devoted Buffyholic - a Buffy that goes through some much needed character growth with regards to her perspective of a mature relationship based on acceptance and respect of the other partner would be great.

Now that Buffy has a out for the money help is just one more thing that Spike has to regret - just another thrust against his heart -
Look forward to reading your next update -

Great to see that you have decided to continue your series - Best of Luck with your work, always good to push yourself and keep on working.

Just figures it would be her. Despite my Spuffy fan nature to be a bit disturbed by the 2 of them with other people I really like how you're writing it. However, I will continue to be optimistic about the eventual outcome of this story. Glad to see updates often!

Oh no what are they going to do. Dawn in Mad, Spike is mad and going to use Susan becauseof it and Buffy is using Jacob.

Ohh please just tell me you're not one of those who wont let Spike shag anyone who's not Buffy. Not that I want to, you know, ruin the spuffy, just that he really really needs to be focusing in someone else for a while.

Wow isn't this both lovely and painful? Yikes!And just adding to the chorus here but...poor Spike.

So about Jacob, yep evil. About Susan, kinda skanky move that one. Any self-preserving girl knows you don't move in on a mess like that. (even if he is that hot) I mean hello disaster much?

Once again, great stuff! Want to slap Buffy for flaunting Jacob in front of Spike...but maybe he's gonna do some of his own flaunting back. Update soon!

I knew it, I just knew it! That Susan Rodriguez was just waiting for the right moment.

On the other hand, Buffy's an idiot, so why Susan can't have Spike? Still, something tells me that Buffy is like this dog with a bone - she won't have it herself, but she won't let anyone near it, too. Spike. Her bone. Susan, better drop it.

And Jacob? Oh, he's so sweet. And nice. And really good to Buffy...

I bet he's evil.

So, in your unverse is Susan fighting off the blood cravings or is this before she met Harry?

Why am I nervous about Susan coming on to Spike.

You know....Buffy realizes that Spike truly does love her. I think she should see how hurtful she is being to him by drawing him close only to reject him beyond a point. If she really will not consider letting herself care for him she should suggest he leave town for his own emotional sake. To accept him and his devotion but demand it only be as "best friends" is to ignore the pain inflicted on him. It is painful just to read! *G* I can so feel his hurt.

Jacob seems just fine but I am hoping he turns out to be another big mistake on her part.

So ticked at Buffy. There are no words for how grr I am at her for the way she's treating Spike.

I'm one of the ones that hopes Jacob is evil. I also want something to happen or nearly happen to Dawn because of it and Spike being all protective of Dawn and not letting Buffy near her because he blames Buffy for it.

Right, Susan....go for it, Spike, if you can stomach being with another girl. Bet he can't go through with sleeping with her unless he's really drunk. :(

Love Dawn for being loyal. I hope she doesn't make it easy on Jacob, considering Buffy's taste in men.

And wow, she doesn't even need Spike's money now..Council came through. He really doesn't seem to be needed at all anymore...*hugs the vampire* Well, except by Dawn.

Oh crap; typical man, thinking with the protruding parts of his body!!! Not that I blame him, of course; poor Spikey! And what the hell is Buffy thinking about normal guy?? I think we've already deja'd this vu! Excellent chappie; please update again soon; can't wait to read more!
