Tired Buffy dealing with Giles sounds so ... correct.  And I do wonder what Spike is thinking of.  I don't *think* it's the Amara treasure, but... never know till I get to Chapter 11!

I'll say it again....GO Buffy!  I'm glad Buffy laid everything on the line with Giles, including her disappointment he left Dawn behind.

Couple of lines that I've loved. . . "misplaced angel"  and, I'm pretty sure that was the case -- there's the symbolism of when she's first retrurned and on her way through a cemetery and she pauses for a moment in front of a monument and she's got wings -- it was a brief moment in the beginning of season 6, but I'm pretty sure that's one of the things Joss had in mind . . . and "I'm better at the immoral support". . .
LOL.  No doubt.  Loved that she told Giles to stay away. . . IMHO he should have just gone, and not come back and frankly, leaving her alone, knowing what had happened?  Poor choice on Giles' part.

Good that Buffy is allowing herself some time to settle and reassess what she needs to do.  No hurry with the smoochie Spuffiness:)

It's good that Buffy is letting Spike help her. The time she spend as a spirit made her see things more clearly.

Ohh poor Buffy but at least being a gosht gave her time to think thingns with a colder head to react better. 

I'm really enjoying this story, and I'll be glad to read more,

I've only just found this story, and I have to say I'm loving it. So glad Buffy is actually seeing Spike and the Scoobies as they truly were at that time and reacting appropriately, which she certainly didn't on the show. Can't wait for the Buffy Dawn reunion and for Dawn to realise that Spike was telling the truth. I wonder what little plan Spike has brewing... he wonders if what's still where? More please...

lovely piece of interaction between Buffy and Spike, glad that Tara is really sorry about everything and that she does become the calming influence that Willow needs. Does our Spikey have hidden wealth somewhere?

Ohhh, looks like Spike's got his own little treasure hidden away somewhere? Loved this chapter, poor Tara, such a sweet girl stuck with a b**** of a girlfriend. I love your Spike in this story!

I'm really enjoying this fic. Buffy's handling of the Scoobs has been masterful. She hasn't doubted herself or over reacted. I like her much better here than I did at the end of season 7. looking forward to more.
