Having Joyce in the story adds so much to the events of her resurrection - great idea to have her alive.

Love Joyce's action..like an actual parent!  Why couldn't that have happened in canon?  
It was really fun to be able to write Joyce, and I wanted her to be a realistic mom.

I like your depiction of Joyce. So many writers use her as a convenient excuse for all Buffy's problems because she was a bad mother. She wasn't.

Thanks. I really wanted to use Joyce to soften the misery of Buffy's return to life. The woman has her faults, but I think Buffy's a lot more grounded with a parent to lean on.

I like Joyce's way of thinking with the spa and manicure.

Thanks!

Poor Buffy seems to be sinking.

I loved how Spike got all nervous when Joyce cornered him. Very cute. Great chapter too. I always thought that Joyce was very perceptive, so I hope that she can help Buffy feel better. Looking forward to more.

Nice of you to remind us that Joyce is one bright lady. Sooner or later, she's gonna figure out that Buffy wasn't in hell. It'll be interesting to see how she handles that revelation. Joyce has never made any secret of the fact that she likes Spike. Can't wait to see what she makes of this new and improved relationship that Buffy and Spike now seem to have with each other. Eagerly awaiting the next update. :)

Thanks for having Joyce here for her. Season six with her in it, will be so much better for Buffy and Dawn. Very interested in seeing where this is going. Very cute that Spike was caught by Joyce and that she like's him, she never did like Angel to begin with, did she? Thanks for the surprising update, when ever you can will be great. Wonderful read, thanks.

A spa day would be good. Serenity would be good.

And Buffy, this isn't protection. It's just lying.

I'm continuing to really enjoy this story! I love Joyce, and think she added a great deal more to the vuffy-verse than her limited screen-time might suggest. When she died Buffy lost her emotional anchor, and nothing was every the same again. Don't get me wrong, I love seasons 6 & 7 but I suspect that things will be different with Joyce around. Buffy won't be feeling so abandoned, for one thing. Nor will she have all the responsibilities of raising Dawn on top of everything else she has to deal with...

I adore Spike trying to sneak out, and being caught by Joyce. Busted!

Looking forward to the next update!
