love the way they are connecting. very good chapter, thank you.

Buffy's reaction to her Turning...or whatever it was... are interesting.  I liked her "sitting on a sledgehammer" comment. 
I'm sort of surprised Joyce hasn't shown up...or Dawn, maybe.  I liked the protective side of Dawn you showed in the chapter where Spike tells her family. 
Loved the update! 

Glad to see another chapter up, that's what started me reading again.  I think I read the first chaps while I was still lurking.  Hope RL starts getting better and you are doing a great job with this story.

 Great interaction between these characters.  I really "the softer side" of Spike.  I'm looking forward to Buffy's growth as a new "being" and Spike's role in that. 

I loved this chapter. Buffy's reactions are very realistic but still display her softer side, and I'm sure seeing her advanced Slayer side will be an interesting comparison. I wonder how Spike will react? Also, I love the Sire-Childe relationship they're falling into, and Spike already being a protective, caring individual. So looking forward to more!

I really love this fic, and I'm glad you started updating again or I would have never found it!  I love the way Buffy and Spike are with each other, they had me in tears for the first 2 chapters.  And this new Vamp!Slayer thing that Buffy has going is really interesting.  Can't wait to find out more about that!
