Thanks for "the trick", a good foil for a helpless slayer. I do like how your Spike does keep his killer instincts intact and although cold blooded in his willingness to do anything to protect Buffy, she can talk him past this (despite how tangibly it hurts her to do so). It's always bittersweet, but so lovely that way.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! In some ways, I think's Spike's first solution to any problem is always going to be killing it. Luckily, Buffy can get him away from that, even if he doesn't necessarily want to. Thanks for reviewing!

What a great team they make, just how it should have been!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

Oh, loved the trick! And that was neat that she got it from a dream with Faith. Oh, I knew Spike would be pissed. That was funny at the end. Man, when Giles and Spike finally meet, I'm thinking they won't exactly like each other. =D And Buffy's right. Staking first and asking questions later does have one problem: dust doesn't seem to respond. =D Great chapter! I loved it all.
Thank you! Yes, Faith finally said something useful to Buffy, LOL. Giles and Spike have met (sort of) when Spike took Buffy to Giles's after Angelus bit her, though Giles doesn't know Spike's a vampire. Glad you liked the chapter, and thanks for reviewing!

Another great update! Knew Spike just couldn't resist being there - and I'm surprised she was so upset about it. Loved it.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! As for Buffy being upset, I think she perhaps realizes how truly bad it would be for the Council to become aware that she has been working with Spike. Thanks for reviewing!

I admit I smiled and laughed out loud quite a few times reading this chapter--not only clever, but very witty dialogue, too! How did you come up with such a great idea to beat the vamp? (Maybe you are secretly a Slayer yourself???) You made the Cruc. test fit in perfectly within the larger overall story arc; I'm glad you decided to include it afterall. The story, Buffy and Spike's evolving relationship, and your writing style and humor just get better and better. Of course, now that you've posted the last two chapters within a week, I've gotten spoiled and will keep hoping for frequent updates! :-)
Thank you! As for how Buffy beat the vamp, I knew I wanted to use what Faith almost did to Wesley in that episode of AtS. Fire and spray can seems like a pretty good vamp killing thing. I'm not really sure exactly how I thought of it, but ever since I decided to do the Cruciamentum, I knew that's how I wanted Buffy to kill the vamp. (I even asked back in September about what Faith used, here on the forum.) Fire and holy water are the only things that don't need strength, and Buffy used holy water on the show. And I liked the idea that Faith tells her how to do it. I'm hoping to have more frequent updates, but these last chapters were so long, LOL. Next chapter will either be short or there will be a wait. Thanks for reviewing!

OK... so i thought the last chapter was the best and that this story couldn't possibly get any better and then you write this chapter... and it just got even better... i really loved this and i liked your twist on how the test went... i thought you wrote the spike and buffy interactions perfectly... great job! and i loved the quick update... hope to see more soon!!!
Thank you for the compliments! I'm glad you liked it so much! This chapter was the longest ever, so I'll probably have either a bit of a breather before I post again, or next chapter will definitely be shorter, LOL. Thanks for reviewing!

Awww, if only we could all have Spikes to watch our backs. I really love the way you write him in this fic! And I can't wait for the next update!
Everyone needs a guardian Spike... :) Thanks for reviewing!
