If nothing else she learned quickly about Spike was that he was true to his word. When he said he was going to kill her, he tried, when he promised to help, he did, when he said that he loved her, it was with all of his heart. That was her Spike. Nicely done. Glad that Xander finally saw spike for what he was in the end to them all: A friend.
Oh yes. She learned real quick that Spike didn't go back on his promises, just when it came to killing her it never went the way he wanted.

Thank You!

Good job with the choice of songs. They are spookily apt.
I've racked my brains trying to make the songs fit a well as possible. That's what is taking the longest to figure out. The chapters are written, well most of them, it's just getting the right song to go with them.

Happy to see that all the hard thinking is working out.

Thank You!

It's interesting to see Buffy view herself as she was.
It was too interesting an idea not to write. I'm happy to see that everyone's enjoying it.

Thank You!

She and Xander had gone back the next day, found the body, and buried it. - I don't think this can be true. Ford had a tombstone and his grave was in the cemetary. Don't think Buffy would plunk out a lot of money for a tombstone. Actually, it was a problem in the original script - why wouldn't Ford's family have claimed the body and brought it back to Los Angeles?

I always thought it was Drusilla who turned Ford. You don't see Spike bite him and I think the only male that Spike bites is Andrew in S7. Also, Spike hates Ford and thinks he's a moron. You can go either way.

I like what you're doing with Buffy reading the diary, then current Buffy thinking about what happened. It works a lot more smoothly that I would have anticipated. Structures like that can easily be phony or tricky. You've made it work nicely.
You have to realize this is what Buffy came to believe. Ford had told her that he'd made the deal with Spike. So she naturally assumed that it was Spike that did the deed. It could've been any of the vamps that were in the club at the time.

I always wondered how that headstone came to be on the grave.

You make a good point though with the whole Dru thing, she always was nattering on about putting stuff in the ground.

Oh and Spike had bitten many people in the episode where Buffy follows him into the basement of that house in season 7, and there were men in the vamp hoarde that came after Buffy. Plus also the vamp in Conversations that said Spike had made him.

The structure of this story, is terribly difficult, I happy to see that it's working the way I wanted.

Thank You!

yeah, i always loved that scene, although it was *way* pre-spuffy, because it showed spike's capacity to love...excellent chapter, looking forward to more :)
Yes it did. That's what set Spike apart from the rest. At least that's how I came to comprehend it.

Thank You!
