Tired Buffy dealing with Giles sounds so ... correct. And I do wonder what Spike is thinking of. I don't *think* it's the Amara treasure, but... never know till I get to Chapter 11!

I both loved Giles and wanted to smack him a lot of the time. He could be such a needed father figure, but he could also be a thick headed git. Tons of fodder for fan fiction.

I'll say it again....GO Buffy! I'm glad Buffy laid everything on the line with Giles, including her disappointment he left Dawn behind.

That always pissed me off too. 'Woe is me, I'm a Watcher with no purpose.' Cry me a river.

Couple of lines that I've loved. . . "misplaced angel" and, I'm pretty sure that was the case -- there's the symbolism of when she's first retrurned and on her way through a cemetery and she pauses for a moment in front of a monument and she's got wings -- it was a brief moment in the beginning of season 6, but I'm pretty sure that's one of the things Joss had in mind . . . and "I'm better at the immoral support". . .
LOL. No doubt. Loved that she told Giles to stay away. . . IMHO he should have just gone, and not come back and frankly, leaving her alone, knowing what had happened? Poor choice on Giles' part.

I always loved that fallen angel shot in After the Fall. Beautiful camera work, and that haunted look on her face... shivers.

Giles would just complicate things at this point, I thought. But in the show I was a bit irked at him for ditching the others.

And hey, everyone needs a little immoral support. It's more fun than moral support anyhow...

Good that Buffy is allowing herself some time to settle and reassess what she needs to do. No hurry with the smoochie Spuffiness:)

As much as I love the smoochie Spuffiness, sometimes it must wait, alas.

It's good that Buffy is letting Spike help her. The time she spend as a spirit made her see things more clearly.

Thanks for the review!

Ohh poor Buffy but at least being a gosht gave her time to think thingns with a colder head to react better.

I'm really enjoying this story, and I'll be glad to read more,

Thanks for the review! Just put up another chapter, so enjoy!

I've only just found this story, and I have to say I'm loving it. So glad Buffy is actually seeing Spike and the Scoobies as they truly were at that time and reacting appropriately, which she certainly didn't on the show. Can't wait for the Buffy Dawn reunion and for Dawn to realise that Spike was telling the truth. I wonder what little plan Spike has brewing... he wonders if what's still where? More please...

Thanks for the review.
Working on Chapter 11 (as soon as all this stupid paid employment stuff gets done.)

lovely piece of interaction between Buffy and Spike, glad that Tara is really sorry about everything and that she does become the calming influence that Willow needs. Does our Spikey have hidden wealth somewhere?

Thanks mazza!

As to the hidden wealth, well, you'll just have to wait a bit...

Ohhh, looks like Spike's got his own little treasure hidden away somewhere? Loved this chapter, poor Tara, such a sweet girl stuck with a b**** of a girlfriend. I love your Spike in this story!

Glad to hear you like Spike. Trying to stay in character with him can be tough for me - I want to forget he's a vampire sometimes.

I'm really enjoying this fic. Buffy's handling of the Scoobs has been masterful. She hasn't doubted herself or over reacted. I like her much better here than I did at the end of season 7. looking forward to more.

I always thought just some small nudges here and there during seasons 6 and 7 could have sent Buffy in different directions.

I like the opportunity to do the nudging!
