It was funny thinking about Spike banging on the TV trying to make the reception better. Then getting frustrated and smashing it to pieces, then thinking "Ooops!" :)
S5 Spike really is a bit of a sociopath, isn't he? Or maybe not? Maybe it's just the demon in him? His answer to the last question was kind of sad though.
Good chapter!!!

Thank you so much for reading. Season Five Spike was still battling with his demon on every level, I feel. See next chapter!

Another great chapter! The ending is so poingant. Spike seems so lost and alone. I'm glad Aggie is there to help him, even though he'd never admit needing her, being the Big Bad and all....
I love how you work in the rest of Sunnydale in passing, for example, "... the gentleman who ran the Magic Box shop. He had such a lovely voice."
And "spiking" - pun definitely intended :) - the hot chocolate and icing with blood is very clever.
As always, looking forward to more.
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. Glad you are still enjoying the story. I think Giles and Agnes would get on really well together, but sadly I think one vampire in Giles' life is enough! More coming fairly soon. Agnes is in for a difficult few months - well, it is Season Five!

LOL at Spike flopping on Agnes bed, hitting is TV and taking a personality quiz. Wiping away a tear at that last line.
Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated.

I laughed out loud at Spike's thought that Agnes should teach Buffy to cook! That would in fact be perfect! But poor Spike taking a personality quiz from cosmo!
I felt the quizz was definitely right for Season Five Spike. Glad you enjoyed the chapter.

Loved all the detail you put into discribing Aggie's down time. The scene that followed with Spike was also great. Aggie trying to wrap her mind around why Spike would want to fit in with Buffy and the Scoobies was definitely interesting. Fabulous closing paragraph too, very insightful and bittersweet. :( Can't wait for Aggie to find out about the bot, that's one meeting that's bound to be all kinds of intriguing. Wonderful update!
Yes, for all her mild ways, Agnes is still a vampire and can't understand Spike's desire to be part of a human group. And yes, the Bot is about to make an appearance. Why do i feel Agnes is not going to be amused?

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your lovely writing. I especially appreciate your talent with intertwining Agnes with the actually season without actually altering the stories. My only wish would be a (happy) ending(?) for Aggie. (Would she find me an uncouth American taking liberties with her name?)
Anyway, great, great story. Ta!

Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to comment on my story. Much appreciated and i am quite sure Agnes wouldn't find you uncouth at all! Spike calls her Aggie so she's learnt to live with it! Hope you find some of my other stories enjoyable as well.

I just love this story! And personally I think that Agnes would make a wonderful mother figure for Buffy and Dawn. It was so sad that she and Joyce couldn't have had more time for their friendship. I love that you had Agnes with Joyce at the end. I always thought it was so sad that Joyce died alone.
Thank you so much for commenting. Yes, I agree entirely. I hated Joyce being completely alone when she died. And i was determined that Agnes would go to the funeral.

I hope he can get to talk or see Buffy soon.

And I pop over to BSV and my first thought is "Oh yay! A new chapter of Business as Usual"!
Agnes' musings about Joyce's death, then Spike's revelation to her that Glory was a God was great. Lovely parallel.
Poor Spike. Agnes really isn't going to like Buffy's treatment of him later.
Loved the thought of Agnes teaching Buffy to cook. Would probably drive the woman completely batty, though. She seems an incredibly patient sort, though. Might work...

Sadly I do not think it is likely to happen, although it might have helped Dawn get a diet that wasn't based on pancakes and burgers! Glad you're still enjoying the story.

That was very touching. It's lovely to see Spike through unbiased eyes.
Thank you so much.
