Great holiday fic.

Getting Spike out of that Santa suit was funny.

“Keep the hat, Santa,” she said with a twinkle in her eye. “You owe me a whole lot more prezzies. Six years’ worth of them, by my calculations.” Cute.

“Are we going to fight about this?” she grumbled. “Who loves who the most?’

“Bloody hell, I hope so!” His eyes glazed over, remembering how many of their arguments and fights years ago had ended in violent, spectacular sex.
I enjoyed this interchange. Sweet Spuffy memories...

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing.

That ending was all we could have hoped for! They are just as adorable as two people who've been separated for years should be. Love how they broke the table into dangerous pointy wooden objects! I think it's funny how in the world of BtVS Christmas fic Santa always seems to be a demon. Thanks for the early Christmas present!

*Sob!* Happy Christmas Ending! *Sob!* I'm *sniff* so *sniff* haaaappppyyyy!!! *Sob!* Loved this story; sweet and schmoopy, just the way I like 'em. And the thought of Spike in nothing but a Santa hat... *drools* Is it wrong if I find that terribly, terribly hot??? *Sniff!* Merry Christmas, and thank you for a great holiday treat!!!

Now, new story???? *Demanding Spike fan is dragged from room by apologetic reader*
You're more than welcome. Have a Merry Christmas!

No new stories just now - have to get through Christmas and some judging assignments first.

Buffy was pretty smart not to let Angel know that with him she'd be 'settling'. He'd probably try to change her mind for her own good. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Knew she would figure it out and go straight for Andrew (who else could be responsible?). How cute that he found a way to give her snow! Love that she says she was lying about being cookies and rejected Angel. Still trying to picture Spike in a Santa suit, but all I can imagine are those cheekbones...
Yeah, they'd be a pretty good give-away, wouldn't they? Not Santa's plump little rosy ones. :)

Awww, he got her snow. *sigh* I can't stop giggling from the sight in my head of Spike dressed as Santa. Though a hot one at that. One more Spike sized prezzie to unwrap? Can't wait.

She recognized that she is happy with what Spike does,but it took for him to cover his identity for her to do so... Gah! See how she always sees him the way she wants to see him. I don't like her much,but I'm all for Spuffy.Can't wait to have some:)
So, it's my job to convince you that she deserves him?  LOL

fun read, even though buffy appears to have lost the ability to reason. (a skill she has demonstrated in the past.) thank you for the enjoyable read.
Ah, yeah, but if she figured it out too soon, she wouldn't get all those nice prezzies....:)

The secret santa idea is fun.

“Maybe I should jus’ let her bloody m’nose a few times and it’ll be alright,” Spike muttered. “Always worked before.” This could also be fun!

And there she is, still floating down De-Nile. The expensive pressies obviously came from her Secret Santa, because Spike has always given up so easily.

Well, he's trying, gotta give him that :P

It's funny that Buffy knows that her secret santa is a male. And was that Spike in teh suite? I wanna know! lol

I'm thinking the white coat is just the tip of the iceburg to a larger present with snow, cold, and sking? Can't wait for more.
LOL Who do you think it was? Could be cold and snow coming up - we'll see...

Love Spike as the Secret Santa! It was quite ingenious on his part to take over for Andrew with the way is last gift was received. Patiently waiting for Buffy to get more presents and discover the identity of her Secret Santa!
More prezzies tonight. :) Thanks for reading.

I like how Andrew clued Spike in on the way his actions had made Buffy feel and how perfectly natural it came out. I enjoyed Buffy’s reaction to the chocolates, first whimpering as she threw them away and then her relief that she could have them when the card said Secret Santa. I am looking forward to where things go from the white coat. Thanks for update.

Oh god.... i was hoping this story would be good but i hate stories that have Buffy as a whore while Spike is some celibate monk. Just irks me that someone claiming to be a Spike fan would write a story like that.

Love some of your other stories but i doubt i'm gonna read the rest of this one.

I can't seem to give the right of being mad at Spike (for what he hadn't done) to Buffy.Seriously,after all those things done and said by her to Spike-just to please herself,kid herself and push Spike away as far as possible,I can understand Spike for not wanting to let her know that he was back.Even those the last couple of nights before the 'Slayers vs. First Evil's army War' weren't enough to prove her love for Spike-let alone make him believe that.Well,it's what I think so anyway.

Yes,I could never forgive her for hurting him until there was nothing to hurt anymore.None of her excuses could work on me.
LOL - you're a hard woman!

Great start, I particularly enjoyed the phonecall. His voice softened to that sweet rumble that she didn’t think anyone but her had ever heard. Nice.

You’d think if it was going to be this cold in England in the winter, it would at least have the grace to snow and look pretty… I also liked this thought.

I loved the response of the vampire after Buffy telling him off in place of Spike. Buffy throwing out the flowers but not being able to throw away the card was perfect and I love that Spike was watching from across the street.

I really can't blame either one of them. It's that 'growing up under Angel's influence''never happy unless I'm miserable' aura that he extrudes. Looking forward to seeing Spike's next move and Buffy's answer to it.

Ok, first : yay, new fic! And a Christmas-themed one at that!

How long will Buffy resent Spike for not contacting him? Not too long, I hope...'tis the season for happy Spuffy-loving!

PS - there are two fics out there I'm desperate to re-read, and I think you wrote at least one of them; and I can't find them! Maybe you can help me out...

#1 - Spike and Buffy get sent into Spike's past from a magical room in a deserted Initiative (and a very young Spike appears in their place in the present)

#2 - (and I think I reviewed this one) I don't remember the premise (but the Initiative is involved), but Buffy and Spike are mated and communicate telepathically...very cool.

thanks!
LOL - They're both mine. The first one is "To Save a Lady" and the second one is "Just a Little Spell". Both are on here, although I'm not sure if they are their best versions. I've been going back over some of my old ones and putting in the italics for thoughts that I didn't know how to do when I wrote them.

Anyway, thanks for reading the new one. :)
