Oooh! I liked that so much. I'm always a fan of the ones where some small thing has a huge (and usually better) affect on canon. I'm definitely going to see what else I've missed. Specifically I Know You. I have been waiting for that for ages. Squee! lol
*g* I hope you like it! Thanks for reading.

this was a wonderful little tale, love, i've thoroughly enjoyed it...i left you more detailed reviews on lj, but i like to review over here, too...and this was so sweet, so believable, not going so far as to be fluffy, but tender and sweet development of the relationship between spike and buffy....loved it!!!
Thanks - and thanks for reviewing both places. I had a hell of a time getting this one going, so I'm glad people seem to like the finished product.

Oh I love it, I wonder about the end but changing forever wonder what that ment to them.

Can't have magic, didn't they use some magic.

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
Well, you know, once you say those three little words, you've made a committment...

They did use magic - I forgot it wasn't supposed to have any until I was almost finished. The artist was OK with that, so it's all good.

Really nice story. I'm not sure who the 'old friend revisiting' was in this story, but regardless of the challenge requirements, I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Riley is gone,Joyce will be fine,Scoobies are accepting Spike into their Scooby gang,Buffy is with Spike,Spike is...Spike.
Have I mentioned the fact that I loved it? If not,I loved it.:P

i'm so glad she dumped the git!!! she knows what she wants, and for once her friends are letting her have it!! hehe...great job, love :)
Wasn't intentional, but it turned out I was exploring what sort of effect it might have had on Buffy if her friends weren't as hard on Spike as they were in canon. Thanks for reading!

Seven         
"Dawn and I were alone in the house. Buffy wasn’t home when he arrived. His invitation has never been revoked. He could have killed us at any time.” A point I make all the time! Spike could have easily killed Joyce at any time from that first invitation had he wished and with Buffy demoralized then killed her. Not only did he not but amazingly Buffy never thought he would!

Great chapter. Love how Riley was such a big help with Glory.....NOT! Dude didn't lift a finger (just like in canon). Happy Xander was willing to put him in his place along with everyone else (but how appropriate it was Joyce and Dawn).

Thanks so much for updating/finishing before you head to writercon. Have a great time there! One day I'll get to one of those things too and meet in person all you wonderful writers that I enjoy so much.

Kathleen
LOL - yep. Although, as much as it feeds our little Spuffy hearts, it's probably just another example of the writer's overlooking something important - like that a dangerous vampire had access to Buffy's home. lol

I leave day after tomorrow...gah! *runs off screaming to finish last minute stuff*

08/06/2007 01:50 pm

Oh that was good, him or me, well anyone would pick Spike over Riley even if they didn't love him.
Yeah, not much of a contest, huh? Thanks for reading. :)

very good ethan. sure riley will provide added incentive for fpike to use the phone number. very good read, thank you.
I'm afraid Riley's reaction to being dumped is going to have to wait for a sequel- but, yeah, it sure would. :)thanks for reading- I'm glad you liked my Ethan.

Buh bye Riley! I loved the whole Buffy/Spike conversation in this chapter--perfect, and exactly how I wish the show would have gone. And I'm kinda hoping Ethan isn't up to his cheap tricks with his offer of help with the chip, cause I don't like to think about Riley and his stupid plastic stake.

Oh there's something all right....lots more than there ever was with Riley!

Yes he was that ego centric too...you've captured it so well. I always thought that the worst thing he did regarding Buffy was leaving WHEN he did! Okay, they were "over" and boo hoo she didn't love and forgive him but he knew her mom had just returned from delicate surgery, she had a mighty foe deviling her (even if they didn't know Glory was a god yet) and he still hit the road! How selfish is that?? He should have stayed at least until Glory was dealt with because he "loved her"! Spike would have.

Lovely update. Big surprise with Ethan's offer...of course I don't think I'd want him anywhere near my head!

Kathleen
Yes, Riley's timing for his little crisis of confidence pretty much sucked. LOL I don't think I'd want Ethan anywhere near my head either- which I'm pretty sure is what Giles was trying to tell him.

08/05/2007 07:32 pm
Six         
oh Riley is so digging himself a grave, and even Ethan can see what she need to be with Spike. Well be never named names just said the blonde over there or something like that.

I think Giles should help Spike look into what is on the card Ethan gave Spike, it if is true then do it.
Yep, Riley digs himself a pretty big hole here. And it gets deeper in the next chapter.

08/05/2007 06:42 pm

I like this Buffy. She's honest with both Spike and Riley. Great stuff, esp. the bit about the shirt. :)

Buffy is being awfully nice to Spike.
I'm going on the assumption that if everyone around isn't ragging on him, she won't feel like she needs to do it. That's my theory, and I'm sticking with it! LOL

08/05/2007 04:06 pm

And the Spuffyness comes to the fore! Yay! I just hope Riley keeps away. No, I know a confrontation is coming.
Yeah, Riley doesn't do staying away very well. Alas.

Thank the stars Buffy was rescued!! Ethan sure is a big surprise and glad he was willing to help out.

I am really enjoying this story and love the direction you are taking it. Give Riley a major big butt kicking, for me, ok?

Semi-major butt kicking to follow...LOL Thanks for reading.

Forgetting Riley, then ooooo! A little bit of maybe jealousy...

Love the late night talk. So she is finally admitting at least that little bit....Spike has his crumb.

Naturally Riley hs to bully Spike around because he's out of the loop! Too funny that she forgot all about the big ape.

Maybe this forced closeness will make some Scoobie minds open a bit.

I always thought that Giles and Spik COULD have been friends. Loved their comraderie. I suspect Giles likes Spike much more than Riley if he had to admit how he really feels.

Nice chapter.

Kathleen
I've always felt that they could be friends - there's still enough Ripper in Giles to appeal to the Big Bad; and there's enough William in Spike to be able to talk with Giles on his own level.
Forced closeness has it uses. ;)

Great rescue! Spike was so sweet I don't know how Buffy can forget that when this is all over. Nice way to make the Intervention episode still work for changing the relationship even though you made the victim of Glory's violence be Buffy. Nicely done!

Loved Ethan and Willow combining abilities in this way but that could lead to a world of bad in time!

Kathleen
It could - let's hope Giles can keep Ethan from exerting a bad influence. LOL

so the 4 women know that Spike loves Buffy, and Giles kind of believes he might, I hope Riley goes soon, as he doesn't seem to be invovled other then metioning.

I am excited with this beginning. I love twists on what we saw and this decision by Buffy is a great jumping off point. The group dynamic will be interesting as will Buffy's attack on Glory. Wheee...another good story to look forward to!
