OMG....this is some of the best dialogue I've read and that means more to me than even the sex scenes! Please when you get the time as RL does get in the way, PLEASE make sure you finish this. There's definitely no need for writer's block!!! 

I only discovered this site in the summer last year and I'm well hooked! :-)

I'm really enjoying the story so far! It's nice to see a Buffy without her memories of the previous years getting to be a bit more carefree. Though it does seem like she'd be pressing people to give her more answers about their relationships. Or at least, I would be if it was me! (Especially Spike... ) Anyway, can't wait for the next update. :)

Good Spike.  Always happy to help.  :)

great update, poor Spike and Buffy - no new year kiss. Good to see Tara caring about both Spike and Buffy, and what is Willow up to, a spell for Buffy or for Tara?

Good for Tara! Shame, Buffy is already being 'indoctrinated' against showing her feelings for Spike. Uh oh - what spell is Willow planning?

oh boy - Willow's about to take a nose dive off the deep end.  And Spike rejecting Buffy!  Too cruel.  Can't wait for more.

terrific chapter - Spike wanting Buffy but doing the right thing is just right. Enjoying this fic a lot, hope your muse sticks with you!

Enjoying this thoroughly. More please! (pokes the muse repeatedly)

Great chapter. Everyone in character. Shame Buffy hasn't had her Talk with Tara yet, or I'm sure she would have told Buffy the truth. As it is, she's probably the most accepting person to confide in.

Poor Spike. Vamp can't catch a break. Buffy without her memories wants him and doesn't care who knows it. But Spike knows if he lets things get to far bad things will happen.  If he does anything now and her friends find out they will stake him. Plus when Buffy gets her memories back and realizes that they acted like a couple in front of her friends when she wanted their relationship to stay quiet she will be pissed.

Maybe memory loss Buffy will have the balls to confront Willow. Someone needs to.

Tara would be the perfect person for Buffy to talk to. She doesn't judge doesn't push.

still here, still following this. Wonder who from Spike or Tara, is going to put Buffy out of her misery and tell her what they've been doing.

Giles could just stake him in the back - Spke better watch out.  Giles is mean enough to do it. 

Loving the chemistry and the slow build-up! Shame on Giles.

I get the same feeling ,that I got during season 6 of Buffy,when they treated Spike like shit once they brought her back from the dead.The bright side is,that your Buffy is nice to him, so its bearable to ,,see`` him being treated like that.Looking forward to Buffy telling them to back off .
Thank you for updating, I really like it .

Gotta love a less than sober Spike's attitude and good on him for staying as Buffy and Dawn want.  Typical Giles and Scoobies reaction, liked the final paragraph a lot - good chapter.

Thanks for the update! I really like how this is working out. Although I really want to smack me some scoobies...

Giles is typically behaving like a pillock. As in season 7 when he complained that Buffy was relying on Spike and he was affecting her judgement. Of course as far as he was concerned she should have been relying on him and the scoobies instead and allowing them to affect her judgement... More please...

Why can't they mind their own business??? He hasn't harmed them in any way. When Buffy gets her memories back it will be up to her to decide what she feels about Spike and if anything should be done about him.

It was pure coincidence - LOL.  Great chapter.  Giles is right and Buffy is righter at the same time.  Nice job.

great chapter,  Buffy is getting quite possessive about Spike and would now appear to letting Giles and co know about it - liked this a great deal.

That's telling him off!  Go, the real inner Buffy!

If only Buffy could have grown a "pair" in the show.  Thanks for a fun read.  I'm enjoying all of it.  Please keep up the good work.

This is great. I know Xander & Giles are telling Buffy all the bad things Spike has done, but I was wondering if you had a plan for Buffy to discover all the shit Xander & Giles have done to her over the years.

loved it!

I wonder if she will remember this when her real memories come back. It is a little hypocritical of the group. Spike is fine to patrol with to be muscle for them. But Buffy can't have him stay in her basement. None of them even asked what happened for her to ask him to stay.

I like how MemoryLessBuffy is sticking up for her decisions and opinions, the way MemoryFullBuffy rarely did. I hope she can retain this refreshing trait when she regains her memories - assuming that she does. More please...

Hm Spike is being very rankly.  Surprised he isn't taking advantage of the situation. 

Lovely, lovely. Solid writing throughout, nice characterization & dialogue. Wonderful premise & great banter between them, even with her memory missing.

Loved this bit:

"When Giles and the gang told me about vampires, I never pictured them lying in a bed reading books.”
 
“Never was one for conformity.” 

Perfect! Thoroughly enjoying this. More soon please!

Love the literal electricity when Buffy and Spike accidentally touch.  Also great description of the various emotions at play in the Magic Shop.

great tension between Spike and Buffy, she just knows theres something about him - I like that. Let's see what she learns and how the scoobies can stick their tuppence in. Good update.

More please!
It is good to have a Buffy that is without so much hate and prejudice.
Thank you,for writing

 You've captured everyone just right - including Willow's desire to 'fix it' with a spell. I love the awkwardness between Buffy & Spike.

This is so clever and a pleasure to read. 

Very interesting story.  Can't wait for Spike to show up and cause max trouble.  :)

Fantastic start! I appreciate that you put some naughty right up front to tantalize us & then you got right into a great plot. Good concept, I'm already hooked :)

Really looking forward to reading more.

Excellent beginning!  This will give us a chance to see how Buffy acts without any knowledge of the Scoobbies' disapproval.

This was a really good start, looking forward to how Buffy reacts to Spike!

Good start! I look forward to more!

OK, you've got me hooked...

That was fun, good job!

This is a great start, and I'm looking forward to reading more.  Hope you are a regular poster :)
