Where did that emotion come from with Spike? Instinct?

Lilac you have a perfect talent for little old ladies.  Does Dorcas know Agnes?  I'm sure they'd be great friends.  Good Spike - nasty and damn cheerful about it, too.
 Thank you!  Demons are difficult, little old ladies seem easy - but Agnes would be deeply offended to be called 'old'!!

By the way, on my LJ, I am offering Christmas ficlets featuring my original characters.  Are you on LJ?   I am so tempted to do an Agnes/Dorcas cross-over fic anyway!

I am really enjoying this story so very much.  I'll follow wherever you lead with it but can't help but speculate about a whole new universe being created if Buffy discovers she cannot return.  I can see her using what she remembers from history (she was never THAT stupid) and altering the course of the war if stuck there!  I can also see her hooking up with Spike back then and him giving up the big bad for her just as in her time.  LOL   So many possibilities.

"Giles had a nasty feeling Buffy would sacrifice the world to save Spike."  How perceptive of Giles...he sees whereas even Buffy hasn't .  Buffy LOVES Spike and her Watcher knows.  Will be interested to see what he has in mind with the Council's witch there (really like her in this brief meeting).

 I haven't been told yet by the characters what will happen!   I have an idea or two, but we will see.  Regarding Giles, I always thought he must have known and seen from the very beginning which way Buffy was going regarding Spike.  This man is a Watcher - the word, surely, says it all.   Forget the absent minded librarian, remember the guy who in cold blood killed Ben.

I love Dorcas!  I can tell she's going to be a veritable force in this story.

Giles' inner musings are interesting and very telling, especially the bit that leads up to "Giles had a nasty feeling Buffy would sacrifice the world to save Spike."

The end was hilarious: "they were both pushing away, cursing, spitting and scrubbing at their mouths."  Shades of Willow's spell. :)

I wonder if Buffy has been duped by Joy.  Sometimes Buffy is a bit naive and much too trusting.  I suspect it has something to do with her black and white view of the world; Joy is a slayer, so she must be honest. 

Great chatper.  Thanks for the update.

P.S. You might like to correct  "Her jerked her towards him, hearing the little gasp as he head fell back."

 Thank you so much, especially for picking up the typos which I have rushed to correct.

Yes, Dorcas is going to be vital, Joy needs to be watched because she is an old-fashioned type Slayer. Everything is black or white.  Buffy sometimes sees shades of grey and I have the feeling they are going to clash very soon - well, as soon as they find her, that is!

Excellent chapter, they are both so conflicted yet somehow can't help themselves!
 Absolutely! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing.

Wow-I wondered when Giles would re-think what he did.  Is he trying to validate himself by thinking she would have done this even if she knew tjhe outcome?  Just how is Dawn dealing with all this?  And now that Spike and Buffy kissed would he be able to smell himself on her? I know, yuk.  Can't wait till the next update!
 Thank you for your interesting comments. Well, Dawn thinks Buffy is away on Slayer business for a couple of days!  Could be problems if she is away for longer.  And,  of course, there must be a way to resolve the problem of Buffy and Spike recognising each other when they meet again - if they both survive the War!

Wondeful story... You made my blood run cold when Giles said that Buffy had sacrificed Spike to save the world.  All I could think of was that smirky little smile on her face at the end of the earthquake that covered Sunnydale. I think I would have to hate Joss alittle bit if he really  meant for Buffy to  betray  Spikes devotion to her and her friends and family. He deserved so much more than the constant disdain and belittling. 
  Really good , I love it when a good fanfiction, sticks a knife in my heart like  the show did. thanks for the story, eager for more. N
 Glad you are enjoying the story and thank you for taking the time and trouble to review. Much appreciated.

 Thank you for reading and reviewing. Much appreciated and glad you are enjoying the story.

Giles had a nasty feeling Buffy would sacrifice the world to save Spike.
Interesting--that Giles knows there is something between them, that is.

I wonder what Joy really is up to...I guess we'll find out sooner or later. lol

Buffy drew her fist back to punch the face she loved so much and stopped as a stutter of machine gun fire ripped through the trees.

Oh, and admission (of sorts) from Buffy that she loves Spike, or at least his face. lol 

Still loving this fic! Thank you for the update.
 

 I think Giles has always suspected more than he let on.  He never looked that surprised when she told him on his final return to Sunnydale that she was sleeping with Spike.    Buffy will never admit she loves Spike except when she is angry with him!   And she doesn't love this Spike - but his face is still that of the man she does love. Confused?  You should be sitting where I am!

Great closing scene, I enjoyed looking at things through Spike's eyes... should be interesting to see how long he and Buffy can hold off before completely giving in to temptation. I also enjoyed the Giles/Travers interaction, Travers' opinions are definitely interesting. Between Giles' new plans, Spike and Buffy's perlious situation, and Joy still missing... I can't wait to read more! Fantastic chapter!
 Thank you for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated as always.  Yes, poor Spike is completely confused by his reaction to Buffy.  It goes against everything he believes in at this time in his life/death.  Will try and update soon.

Aha! I knew the inevitable B/S chemistry would rear its Spuffy head soon!
Now then, just what is Joy's true mission and just why is she taking so long?
 Thank you for reading.  Joy - hmmm - a Slayer, a mother and wife and a hater of vampires.  She'll make life interesting.

Oh, dear.......

At least Giles is trying to redeem himself.
 Yes, about time, too.  Although he did feel he was acting for the best - but then that is Giles throughout the whole story,isn't it?  The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Poor Gile...always thinking first with the brain and not with his heart. And the next always are laments.
Can you put together this two and don´t wait for the kissage?
Never.
They can curse and spit everything what they want that they will return to do it again soon.

More and more...
 Spike genuinely is confused because he loves Dru and can't understand what is drawing him to Buffy.  Buffy, of course, cannot separate the two different Spike's in her heart, although in her brain she can see the difference. Sighs. Life is so difficult!
