i know i'm repeating myself, but xander is such an ass. it is amazing he was angry that she was having sex with spike. and becomes more upset because she loves him. he thought she was just screwing spike, so why not him? what a class act. very good read, thank you.

Horrible Xander - he's completely out of line with nothing to excuse him.

Xander is an ass (and you nailed him at this point in canon too).  I always thought that Riley was only okay because Xander projected himself on him.  He has a lot of nerve critiquing Buffy's love life not to mention turning venom on Tara too.

Really love Buffy inviting Tara back.  I think they need each other right now. 

Glad Spike called to make it a bit better.  Buffy is going to be stunned when she finds out what he is doing and why.  Giles SHOULD be impressed at the amount of love needed to make that choice too (that always angered me in canon!  Giles should have been really interested in the hows and why's of Spike's soul quest).

Excellent.

Kathleen

asshole!

on the other hand i think is nice that Spike at least called her. I also love Buffy standing up for Tara

Oooh, she loves Spike!!!  Now if only Spike would come back and Xander would pull his head out of his ass, everything would be perfect!  Can't wait for the next update!

you know, i actually thought he came over to apologize for being such a dick, but nope, still a bastard, buffy's better off.  xander will always be a hypocrit.  i'm glad she admitted to being in love with spike, even though she'll probably keep denying it now.  i hope he comes back soon, and not all crazy because of the soul, i still don't think it's necessary, but if it'll stop xander from saying all that he doesn't have a soul crap, then i'm all for it, spike will make him eat his words.

 Grrrrrr- Xander makes me so mad. Thanks for the chapter.
