Spike and Buffy butting heads shouldn't be a surprise, but it's disheartening.  He's right about Buffy's convoluted logic.  She tells him to go away, but is then pissed off when he's gone.  It's no wonder he's thrown in the towel.  Their relationship is exhausting. 

Excellent reunion with giant Dawn, though.  Spike's reaction to her losing her virginity made me laugh, as did her plucking him up in her giant hand.  It's surreal to have her so ginormous.

Amy in Willow's body being touched by evil Ethan gave me a chill.  He's very creepy in this story.  I'm really enjoying it.
I think I found my fanfic twin! What I mean is that all the comment you write, all the things you like about the story, are the parts that I prefer. I know, I have favorite parts about my own story... lame. But it's the stuff that made my smile when I wrote them. It makes me so happy to read you comments, you have no idea.
The Dawn and Spike conversation for example. I had that planned since the beginning of the story. I could just see it happening in my head. Fun to write.
Isn't Ethan creepy? lol
Glad you're loving it.

Damn....didn't even mention how much I ADORED the reunion with Dawn.  PERFECT in every way!

<i>"I'm not putting you down until you promise you won't kill Kenny." </i>  Okay images of South Park and many, many giggles!

Thanks, Kathleen. It was so much fun to write. Especially the conversation about sex. I love overprotective big brother Spike.

Ethan is being used so much more effectively (as is Amy) in this story!  Excellent Big Bad's.  I get that they aren't with the General (or don't appear to be) so this is quite a convergence of storms with the older vamp duo, the military, AEthan lined up on one side and our heroes on the other.

I meant to mention what a collosal wanker Angel was to refuse to help since he thinks Buffy is with the Immortal....jerk!  Hope Buffy finds that out!  No cookies for you!

Kathleen
Yes, Angel is incredibly immature sometimes and the way he loves is so selfish that it can't really be called love. You don't care if the person you used to love is in trouble because you're pissed that she moved on? That's pretty bad.

And I love writing the really sick relationship between Amy and Ethan. Magic wise, the things they've done over the years made me think they would be a good team.

shame spike and buffy cannot communicate as easily as spike and dawn. very good read, thank you.
Yes, communication is key if you want a relationship to work. But she'll learn eventually.

Thanks for the new chapter. Poor Willow. Poor Spike. Poor Amy? I look forward to Spike's inevitable conversation with Giles, since Buffy's completely  abdicated her responsibilities by throwing a hissy fit. You'd think they'd all have learned by now that communication is key. Sigh.
Yes, poor Amy too. The girl has so many issues, it's not even funny. Several years of therapy maybe? I think she needs it. And believe me, Buffy will learn her lesson. And it's about time if you ask me. Damn, if she could just get over herself and learn to listen... lol

Love the convo between Spike and Dawn. I don't blame him for giving up, he really is the one always making the effort.

And as for the giant Dawn thing it turns out that she was super sized( either by accident or design) after she lost her virginity to her boyfriend's roommate. The comics are going for a massive amount of character assassination in my book.Thank the powers for great fanfic.
Yeah, I know about Dawn. I wasn't going to include her at first, but I just thought Spike's reaction would be too funny and I had to write it. Thanks for your review.

that sucks, not the chapter, but i was hoping buffy and spike would have talked.  why can't she just listen to him?  she's such a pain sometimes, i hope she comes to her senses before he leaves.
Why did she not just listen to him? That's an easy one: because it's Buffy lol She's not exactly easy to deal with. It makes her interesting, but also frustrating. I'm glad the chapter doesn't suck lol
