nice fix, but then spike is so easy. very good read, thank you.

Yup, you fixeded it, but now they really ought to remember that curse.....

He needs to anchor that soul muy rapido!  Nice connection there and  fancy the idea of Joyce approving.  I think deep down Joyce knows her daughter will never have that normal life and she likes Spike (unlike Angel who she didn't like in general). 

Now Spike has comething to plan for, to work towards.  Returned love is his Holy Grail and he's not going to want to mess this up.

Liked Joyce a lot in this chapter, especially how she didn't need the details or to pry to see Buffy and Spike needed to stay close. I keep thinking of Joyce's talk to Angel in season three that was part of why he left for LA, and comparing it to her treatment of Spike in this story. Great chapter, and love that Buffy can be a girl in love and not a Slayer rebelliously defying the risk, when she says "It's worth it."

You did indeed!  I just finished reading the previous chapter--so happy I had this to follow immediately! I was thinking, "OMG, can she really be doing this....guess so!"

Nice fixing!   They've a long way to go - just so long as she doesn't try out any more Todds.  We all mistakes but that was a doozy!

happiness! i knew you could do it! now, here i go on to the next chappie!
