This line sounds like a mother trying to convince her kid that the new man in her life is there to stay :
“Things are going to-- they might be…different. Spike might be around more than…Look, you might just have to--”
Which makes it funny because she's talking to Xander! So glad to see her friends not judging her and bringing out their own choices as examples.

Yep - got to get the "kids" approval. :)

A rare pleasure to see such a fair reaction from the Scoobies. Who'da thunk it?
LOL - My season VI stories tend to feature more reasonable Scoobies than we usually see. :)

Oh, wow, I love this story already. Definitely the best take I've seen of this situation. Can't wait to read more!
Thank you. I hope you like the conclusion.

I'm not so sure that Xander would have taken it that calmly, but you're correct in that he wouldn't have had a leg to stand on if he had made a scene. I always knew that after the initial shock Willow would have understood, after all she knowingly dated a werewolf!
Glad Buffy finally stood up for herself and came clean and made it clear Spike was going to be around more.
More please.

The last chapter is now up - although not sure anyone will notice since it the updates didn't change in between 3 and 4.
My Xander is a little less judgmental than he is usually written in fan fic. I'm not convinced that much of Buffy's worry about how the Scoobies would take the news that she was seeing Spike was unwarrented. Xander and Willow (and everyone else) had known Spike for two years by this time, had worked beside him, trusted him to take care of Dawn, and had plenty of time to get used to him. And, add the load of guilt they felt for pulling Buffy out of Heaven, and I don't think they would say much about how or where she was finding some comfort. Just my opinion, of course, but that's how I write the season.

Wow, that went better than expected. I'm glad to see Xander and Willow understanding of Buffy's decision. Also, nice to see that they both realize that even though Spike's hands are bloody, he's not the only one. Looking forward to your next great chapter!
*nods* Yep, there needed to be a little more self-awareness among the Scoobies - IMHO, anyway. :) Thanks for reading and commenting.
