Very good!   I do hope you finish this!     I always hated the way the show handled this part, and always thought Spike deserved a chance at the very least.    Thank you for writing this.

Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us.

I've just read all three chapters and I really enjoyed them.  This is a great beginning - looking forward to the sequel.
It's great to know you enjoyed the story.  Thanks for reviewing!

Excellent First Part - I actually love Spike as A Good Man sans soul - while the arc of self- recreation and his journey to Africa is a wonderful part of the canon, the idea that Spike did not have to be en-souled to find win his battle for Spike/William vs Spike/Demon has a great sense of the heroic and a totally different and grand theme as well.

Hope that you will start your sequel soon - I look forward to see just who or what wants to guide him -
I'm so glad you enjoyed it.  Souled Spike was great, but I always thought he could really make a big transformation without it if he had someone who believed in him.  I'm working on the sequel now, and hopefully will make some good progress.  Thanks for reading and reviewing :)

Grrrrr.....I wonder who it was. I hope you start the sequel soon. I'm gonna take a guess and say it is Riley, The First, Drusilla or Angel. 
Hee hee, I'm glad I left you wondering :)  I'm working on the sequel and another story, but it may be a bit slow-going.  Thanks for the review!

“I don’t care what you were going to get or what you were going to do. I want you just as you are.”

Buffy couldn't have said anything better to Spike.  She's accepting him as he is.  Perfect.

Thanks for the kind review.  I always felt that if given the chance, Spike could be what Buffy needed even without a soul.

AHA  the FE indeed!  Door closed to oportunity at the moment.

Lovely way to tie it up and even though I like Spike with soul (and every other version for that matter) I love that Buffy has told him that he is fine as is.  YAY.

The door's closed for now, but evil types are always looking any small opening :)  Thanks for reading and reviewing.  I'm so glad you enjoyed it and liked Buffy's acceptance of Spike.
