You can’t see it, you daft bint. - LMAO!  Great Spuffy conversation.  Good thing Dawn came back to referee.
He may be crazy, but he's still willing to call Buffy on her mistakes. :)

This is the way it should have been in canon!
Would have been a refreshing change, wouldn't it?  Thanks for commenting. :)

Love the last exchange! And Dawn might have matured and been willing to listen, but Buffy is definitely going to have to make with the 'splainy. Great update, and I thought the conversation between Spike and Buffy was very true to the characters and honest to the events that happened, which is hard when Spike is drowning in guilt and Buffy loved denial and avoidance so much.
Great job!
Thank you.  I felt it was a conversation that needed to happen - a chance for each of them to do some apologizing and confessing.  I hope you like the rest of it. :)

LOL Dawn...cut to the chase.

Love his going in and out of crazy and the story goes from heartbreak to funny along with it.  Their banter just sounds right.

Your Buffy is so much nicer than on screen.  I hated how she treated him until the end of that season....cold and unfeeling where his very real suffering were concerned.  She never acknowledged the beating either, not once.  This one has bitchy moments but also is more honest and verbal.

Hope he isn't going to have to die and that isn't the reason the PTB have sent her to help him till then!

Doubt you'd be that cruel...you aren't Joss (THANK GOD).

LOL No, I'm not. If I were, I'd be much richer - and balding, and...nevermind.  This is just a little ficlet with a twist on how he gets found and what happens to him then - nothing elaborate.  I'm assuming it will end the same way, but who knows? Feel free to imagine whatever kind of season conclusion that you'd like. :)
