Even I can't wait to see how you tweeked the ending, glad someone remembered the tapes in the reviews. Just love that you had Spike use what he does best, BS, to get out of any situation no matter what. Glad so many people have enjoyed this fic. Great writing.
Verda, you made me LOL - literally. What Spike does best (well, except for one other thing) I suppose, but we'll never really know about that!

fine chapter, thank you. good writing managed to overcome my intense dislike giles, which goes back to "the pack" in season one.
Giles is one of the many characters that can go either way. In this fic he is bigoted, opinionated, stuck up and a bit full of himself, but he does get the job done. I just couldn't really see him sending off his Slayer all alone, trusting Spike to come through when things got rough. Glad it worked for you.

Good old Giles! I'm thinking Spike is worrying too much - after all, it was all to rescue Tara! Who could complain?
Well, certainly not Tara. But pretty much eveyone else, yeah, I could see it easily. Luckily Buffy likes to live in the land of the Nile.

So I am wrong about Giles accepting Spike and about Spike still having to a chance to save the day. I just love what you write better anyway. Every chapter is wonderful.
Thanks Lynda. I think Giles is so brainwashed by his own spiel that he really can't see the forest for the trees.

and then she wakes up and goes all mega bitch on him >.
Well, maybe. Probably. If she remembered/wanted to admit it.

Can't wait for the last chapter!
Well, there's epilogue one and two, and then we're sadly done. Sigh.

i have a feeling it's all gonna come out in the open in the end, isn't it? spike might be better off just to be honest...as long as it's just buffy he tells, and not the scoobies, because they probably wouldn't be as understanding as she would -- and it's not like *she's* likely to be that understanding, either! and i have to say, i like giles as the hero, even if spike managed to get most of the glory...lol... :P
Yes, and no. Depends what "it" you mean - since I think you've been sneaking peeks at my keyboard. Tell me if the epilogue was what you were expecting.

Hum...wonder if Giles will confiscate all those tapes *G*. I am surprised he was a decent to Spike as he was given the events on stage. Looking forward to the conclusion (meaning...next installment, not the end of the story!) You did an excellent job of tackling this project.

Giles has no idea what happened on stage, he was sent out of the room at the time. I guess I need to emphasize that. If he did I would agree, he would not have ever let that go, and probably would have staked Spike just on principle.
