Very good story, I really enjoyed it. I really liked the fact that you had a still-unsouled Spike as the hero, and actually had Buffy admit to her feelings for him. Bringing Willow and Xander (almost) completely around to Buffy's side was also a good move. Giles was problematic for me. Although I liked him in the earlier seasons of the show (when Spike was first chipped), and Giles seemed to accept the fact that the chip happened for a reason, by the end of the show, I couldn't stand him. He was the same here: at first understanding and almost supportive, then distrustful and cruel--and that was when he wasn't being influenced by Dr. Walsh!
Overall, great story! I would definitely like to read more. Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us
It's great when a story posted so long ago gets a review.
I agree with you regarding Giles. They did change his character completely towards the end of the show. I enjoyed writing him as the bad guy! LOL!
Really appreciate it.
Check out my lj under Mabel_marsters for my other fics - got some post shanshu Spike that I can't post here :)

I appreciate you saying that you liked Matt too, as I include an OC in my fics whenever I can. I enjoy creating them and two have won me awards - not Matt though as he's not in it for long enough to get a nomination I think! LOL!
Please check out my other fics on my lj http://mabel-marsters@livejournal.com some can't be posted here as feature post Shanshu Spike or AH/AU's.
Thanks again for reading and for commenting.
Thanks for all of your comments along the way and I hope you'll give some of my other fics a try :)
