  That was an excellent look into unsouled Spikes character.  Usually you get a glossed over version of Spikes love/obsession with Buffy. It's wrong though, I like Aggies take on it.(I guess it was Buffy's also)
Spike could be very loyal to those he cared about, but those he cared about had teirs, and you could be shuffled to a lower teir according to Spikes wants, or to a lesser extent what he feels is most important.

  Anyway, great job.

 Poor Spike...this really does show how single minded he was on Buffy.  Nothing and no-one else even registered, it was all about her.
It also shows so well how separate he is from the other demons and humans.  Sad and lonely really.

Agnes understands all too well and is quite on the money about Xander and Anya.  She really has interesting and accurate insights.

Lovely!!!!

 So glad you enjoyed this chp.  It is interesting to me how Agnes is beginning to become more vampire as Spike continues  his fascination with Buffy.  Her journey isn't taking her where I originally thought it would. Am struggling to keep everyone happy as keep getting requests for her to "change" season 6!

Oh boy - Spike is a big disappointment here.  Loved the way he snooped into all the jars.  And what is a Parkin?
 Parkin is a very rich, thick Gingerbread, usually made in North of England, quite often with black treacle.  I can send you a recipe!

Oh this is such an outstanding chapter - It's so great to be able to see Spike and his love and overwhelming passions and love with the Agnes Filter.  Plus the theme of the undeniable contrast and change for the young children vampires - the harsh light of truth. 

You have Spike's Buffy Love ending just right -

I sure hope that you will be refreshed in your Agnes Love and will give us a new chapter soon.  I love this story, and I always look forward to new chapters. 

It would be nice to have "one shots"  about Agnes especially an English Kind of Christmas -
 Thank you for such kind words. Much appreciated.  I have started on next chapter, which is the difficult one I have been putting off for ages!    I would love to do some one offs about Agnes but probably as  collection somewhere under one heading so people don't get confused. What do you think?

The "knicker" story was written as a Christmas present for one of Aggie's Army!

Agnes is very astute in her summation of Spike's unhappy situation and dire prospects.  I hope her tacit support makes a difference, although it doesn't seem likely - hopefully he'll realise he has one good friend.  Lovely update, if a little depressing!
 Yes, sorry it was rather dark, but that is the way Agnes' life is going at the moment.  And oh look, singing demon about to arrive....

Even though Agnes is in a rather bad place right now, I'm still incredibly happy to visit with her again. :) Thanks for another wonderful chapter!

P.S. I hope your wrist is feeling better. :)
 Thank you. Sorry this chapter is rather dark but life is difficult during Season Six!    Glad I still have a few people reading this fic.  My wrist is a little better, thank you.  As long as I hold it straight above the keyboard and don't try turning it....

Boy, has Agnes hit that nail on the head.  I know this has to follow canon but I still find myself wishing Agnes would set Spike straight and avoid the train wreck of Season 6.  And how fun would it have been to be along with Spike and the kids trick or treating?
 Yes, I was tempted - that was how I actually saw this chapter but Agnes had other ideas once I started to write it!

Agnes is very perceptive about some things (her thoughts on Anya/Xander for instance), quite oblivious to others (her idea about the vamp children going trick or treating when she so disapproves of Spike keeping human customs). She is like Spike in so many ways. He is being his usual one-track-mind vamp - BuffyBuffyBuffy. Poor lonely Agnes can see the same pain and lonliness in Spike's future. Is she right though? How close to canon are you staying? Guess I'll find out.....
 Thank you for reviewing. Glad you enjoyed the chapter.  Sadly, as Spike becomes more "human", Agnes is embracing her "vampiricity"!    Conflict lies ahead.   And, oh dear, look what's coming next - singing demons!

Awwwww.....*hugs Agnes*
 She certainly needs one at the moment!
