You handled Jesse really well.

Thank you for giving Spike a spring in his step after all the down stuff.  And I love the dreams Buffy is having. 

All work and no play isn't good fo I'm glad Spike has found a friend... and where does Buffy get off suddenly deciding to be Xander's protector?  If it wasn't for her dreams, I'd be writing her off as a complete dud.

I really enjoyed this story so far!     I hope you will be able to add to it soon.    This was the first story that I have read where Spike is sent back to the very beginning like this, and I loved it!       Other authors had Spike going back to when he was chipped, or found the Gem of Amarra, but never before Angel arrived.   

I have honestly liked Spike since the first time he showed up in Sunnydale, because he was really there; he offered help to Buffy during the Acathla mess, and actually fought on her side - Angel never did.   I never  liked Angel because he was never fought aslong side Buffy, he just gave her  the cryptic warnings and left.   Not much of a hero.   

Thus far, you are the best of the fan fiction writers whose work  I have read.   I sincerely hope to continue to enjoy future chapters and stories you write.

Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us.
