Awesome story - BUT WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO KISS?!?!?!?!

Ugh - the UST is killing me here.
^^;; Sorry, but the UST is necessary.  Buffy's got some really essential growing and thinking to do before she's really at a point where she's ready to kiss him.  I am glad you like it, though, even though I know the UST is frustrating.

YAY she's finished falling now if only he could follow. Good description of Glory although attention starved Dawn annoys the hell outta me I will put up with it because the rest of your fic is awesome. Ok its been great so far and I can't wait for the next update *also I really wanna see how Spike and Buffy fight against Glory*.
He might, soon.  ^^  I hope that Dawn being annoying to you means that she is at least being somewhat in character; there were times during S5 that I actively wanted to strangle her myself.  I'm so very glad you're enjoying.  Thank you!

Hey, how can a guy prove his worth better than that? :)

I love the different POVs. Tara's amusement was just darling.
Honestly?  I don't think he can. :-)

Thanks so much!  Trying to get Tara's insight and sense of fun was a bit of a challenge, but I'm glad you liked it!

Nice to see Spike's growing support for Buffy.

Especially since he's not in love with her.  ^^ Thanks for commenting!

Awww.

Now that the Glory arc is in full swing, I find myself wondering what will change and be the same in this version.  Especially whether Spike being a true friend will give them some advantage, or whether Buffy will still have to jump.  (Especially, with Spike knowing, whether he'll stop Dawn from finding out in quite so traumatic a way, sending her running right into Ben.  That would be good.)

Obviously I don't expect or want you to tell me, but it's building the suspense as much as the Spike/Buffy relationship.  There, at least, I have an inkling of which way it'll go.  *g*

Wow - thanks so much for your kind words!  I'm all tingly. :-)

*laugh* Maybe Riley's evil counterpart from an alternate dimension will come swooping in and sweep our heroine off her feet, causing her to fall madly in love with him... yeah, I don't buy it, either. ^^

Great update, especially liked the closing scene.

Yay!  Thank you!

AHhhhh just finished falling (but how much further if/when Glory gets hold of Spike!). 

I love this story and really wish it had worked this way.  Buffy would have benefitted with one of thoseSlayer dreams regarding Spike IMHO.

Nice weave with canon here.

*laugh* She would have, indeed!  *sigh* But it was not to be.  Darn it.  Thanks so much!
