Go Xander w/the foot in mouth disease he has so often. Excellent chapter update. Loved it. I love this story as a whole.

I was so worried at the end of the last chapter, but this so great with Spike ignoring Dru’s call, and so horribly sad with Tara’s death. I loved that Buffy was there for Dawn, just as Dawn had been there for her and Spike. This was a really great chapter, please update soon.

i love this twist -- I was afraid spike was going to return to Dru, I am so happy he will not - yippee on buff and spike taking care of dawn - excellant!

Oh yes Liz is wising up :P

good read. is liz coming around or is this just a momentary lapse? thanks for the fine read.

Is Liz going to accept Buffy and Spike into her life now as relatives? I'm always sad when Tara gets killed by that creep Warren and I was never unhappy that Willow offed him cruelly.

Well it started out badly for Buffy in the chapter. I would assume that Spike was leaving as well, but I am glad he is staying. And how about Liz letting Dawn go with Erixel?? Maybe she will come to terms with things slowly.

Interesting chappy, AD. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
