I'm getting emails that say you've responded to my reviews, while I"m still reading the story.  It's practically like being in chat with  you. :D

I like mature Xander.  I like Willow's motives to keep quiet NOT being centered on assuming Buffy is a child.  I like both her and Buffy's response to Giles and his reasoning.  I kinda expected their reaction to be a lot stronger, except you've done a really good job explaining that it's been several years since all that went down.  Tempers have had time to mellow... mostly.  I mean, Spike's been in that situation the entire time, which makes it all pretty fresh.

Buffy more or less promising to stake Spike rather than let him be taken was achy and wonderful.
I'm a bit compulsive about responding to people who've taken the time to review. And I learned my lesson at TSR by not going there for a long time and finding I had received a gazillion reviews to which I hadn't responded.  I'm sure the reviewers had long since forgotten about it and moved on, but I answered every single one.... eventually. I was reduced to smiley faces after a while, but at least when I look at my reviews now, there's nothing there that isn't new. :)

so glad I've caught up this fic, this is so well written and engrossing. I love the way you used the Angel finale to explain where Spike has been and what happened to him. Can't wait to see where you go next. Thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks for reading. I'm glad you enjoying it. :)

Wow, Giles thinks he's been wrong?
LOL - he's beginning to get a clue...

Thrilled with the update. Good to see Xanders finally let go of old grudges. I went off him in S7. His 'Spike helped, but I never forgot what he was' speech. Was unbelievably biggotted and unfair. He never acknowledged any of the good Spike did, despite his nature. Loved Spikes 'it feels like home now' when Buffy shouted at him. Happy days are here again....
 

Well, happy days may be coming... there are still a lot of demons out there. :)
