“Where have you gone?” asked Buffy. The face looking up at her was remote, resistant, its strong bone-structure suddenly very visible and hard, like something carven out of alabaster, eyes half-lidded and dark, lips closed and still. She had never seen him like this before: Spike’s thoughts and emotions had always been clearly visible on his face, even when she refused to see them. This cool, intransigent stillness made him a stranger.

Interestin.  Because of the change in her, there's a change in Spike - she's seeing parts of him she never saw before.  A learning experience for both of them.

Oh yeah, and really HOT!

so many great lines and scenes in one chapter.  for best line have to go with "take it then." great read, thank you.

    Wow. Loved every minute of this chapter. Every. second.

God this is wonderful. I don't want this Buffy to leave Spike. I can't deny that Buffy is making Spike very happy, and that is making Buffy happy.

All I can say is WOW!

 I'm off to read the next  chapter.  Love, love this story.  Hope there is lots of Xander bashing, along  with Riley and Angelus, too.

 Do go on......

Original and sweet. Loved it =)

Wow, thought the Scoobs were gonna explode. Riley really is pretty dim, despite being 4 years older he still thinks this Buffy is his Buffy. Whistler was pretty explicit when he told them she wouldn't be the same. Wonder why he brought Graham.
Great fic looking forward to more. 

Wow - I'm loving this!  I have to say that any way of pushing the buttons of everyone other than Buffy and Spike has always been good.  It's great to have a combination of a grown-up Buffy who knows how mean she was to Spike and a Spike who hasn't yet realised he's in love with Buffy so isn't moony as he was sometimes is great.  I don't want young Buffy to come back!
I only have one problem - I'm going on holiday in 4 days time and I want the end of the story before I go...

Love love love it. Bring on the next chapter!

I strongly suspect Buffy is going to have to put a beat down on Xander before he realizes she's serious; Giles maybe grew a clue in the graveyard, but Xander...*shakes head*  He's just too determined to make Buffy toe the line.

I can't wait to see what happens next!!!

Another great two chapters! Loved them.
Oh Spike, how much he enjoyed shafting it to the Scoobies. Good for him. lol.
Can't wait for more.

Hell yes!... And NOW; I`m actually going to read it. Just had to get that off my chest^^.
